I really liked the lasagne. The best dish out of all I tried. Specially it’s red sauce, that was the spark of the dish. Sliders for starter is good option as well. Do try it.
This place has an amazing interior and peaceful ambience.
Staff is very kind and very polite.
Food is varied and absolutely delicious but a bit costly but totally worth it.
We would love to visit again
Didn't find it worth the money at all. Was just average in taste... Quantity was very less when compared to the price. Staff wasn't very friendly
Stopped by during out WTC wandering for some amazing fruit cake and a lovely cup of tea.
Service is erratic here. Sometimes excellent, sometimes inattentive.
They have a full blown menu with tons of variety.
It is a bit on the pricey side, but the quality is top notch.
Value for money: 3.5/5
I love to go to Shakespeare's for a slow weekend breakfast or brunch. The ambience is really good inside and outside. I love the pancakes and all the three flavours available are good. Blueberry was my favourite. Staff is polite and attentive. Would love to go back again to try more
I love everything about this cafe!! And would love to visit it again and again
Elegant and aesthetic ambience !! really gives you a royal feeling! We tried Shakespeare and Co. during the time when they had a 50% on everything they served. and we'll , I was excited to try out their mini cakes! the chocolate mousse and the cheesecake! ! 😍 loved both of them... tiny adorable and yummy.. preferred the mouse more being a chocolate person maybe. however would love to try them again.
Shakespeare's American and English breakfast.
Scramble egg, chicken sausage, hashbrown, turkey strips, beans, herbs potato, mushroom along pineapple and americano for 2 person.
Good quantity worth the price.
Soothing ambience.
Quite and peaceful spot for breakfast.
Healthy and tasty combo menu.
Indoor and outdoor seatings.
What attracted me to The Shakespeare n co was of course their fancy ambience. I was a frequent visitor there when I was in Ajman especially for their desserts. Mango passion fruit macarons are amazing also Pistachio raspberry pudding. The best macarons ever. Also they have really great arabic as well as European cuisine. Red velvet shake is one of my favourite drink from here.
Enjoyed chocolate iced Frappuccino
Red velvet latte been a treat

I had been to this branch of Shakesphere for a Friday breakfast with a friend and also as it is very close to my house . It is located in the central souq with outside seating available. They are also listed on Zomato gold .
I wanted to try something sweet for breakfast so we opted for two types of french toasts and coffee of course served with some really good cookies . The French Toasts were just yummy and not too sweet also . The spanish latte was ok , I have had better. The espresso vanilla was very good and presented well with ice cream and a macaroon on top . The food looks really good presentation wise . The service is also good . I would visit shakespeare soon and try their other breakfast options.
Great colourful ambience, wide spread of menu, with burgers, pastas and breakfast options. Also one wouldn’t be disappointed if one has a sweet tooth you will have variety of pastries, pancakes to choose from.
I visited Shakespeare WTC mall. The food is so good and clean. All is tasty. Elena was the waiter there, and she is super nice and friendly. She was always smiling no mater how demanding I was. She really impressed me with her excellent customer service. So sweat and professional at the same time.
I will visit again for sure because I really felt super welcomed by Elena.
Actually I loved the decorations of the place and the food was amazing even the presentation of the food was soo smart, I’m recommending it soo much.
Family resturant and all my family members enjoyed too much today with every single detail in the place and good staff .thank you For all the team
Egg Shakshouka, Spinach, and Mushroom Crepes, Spanish Latte, Hummus Toast with Berrylycheeous and The Gram Toast from the Wakey Brekkie menu. The creaminess of poached eggs with the umami of garlic, the sharpness of bell pepper, and juices of Tomatoes make the Egg Shakshouka a perfect breakfast; have it with pita bread.
Ambience - great
Food - nice
Staff - friendly !
White sauce Pennie pasta tasted very nice , however green spaghetti was so so , may b bcoz of South Indian . Needed little bit spicy ..
So I finally got to go to this place and I was not disappointed one bit! From the interiors, ambience to the food everything was just so good! I really loved the English decor, it is one of the prettiest place I’ve been to so far! Coming to the food, we ordered chicken sliders along with asparagus and spinach pizza along with extra chicken topping. I have no words to describe how delicious the pizza was! Each bite felt soo good! Really fresh light bread with the right amount of toppings. This one is a must try. Next the chicken sliders which were served along with fries. As compared to the pizza, this felt a little normal but still really good in taste! The fries were coated with a really crispy batter not like the usual fries. All in all a really good experience!
Love love love it! Writing this review now because I am craving their spaghetti and can’t find any good one in the city where I am in! Any time I am in Abu Dhabi, I need to have one meal here! Their bread basket with the freshest butter I have ever eaten is the perfect start to any meal. Their spaghettis, pizzas and salads - all are excellent! We tried just the vegetarian options and we loved them SO much! Can’t wait to eat here again! Their cold coffee Freddo is also a must have and so are their numerous desserts!
I love this place especially for their interiors and ambiance... All shakespeare's will have their unique interiors which attracts customers... Food presentation is really good... Friendly staff... My favorites here are english breakfast, pastas, jasmine tea, bread and butter... Really worth for Zomato gold members
This place has got a great vibe and beautiful cosy colourful ambience. The presentation of the food is appealing and tastes good. You got to try their salad, burgers, pastas as all of them are really tasty and worth your money. Food quality and service standards are upto the mark.
Items I’d personally recommend: avacado egg toast, penne arrabiata pasta, shakespeare burger.
Suggestion : Food could do with a little more spices
Overall rating- 4/5
The place is very cosy. Enjoyed the seating arrangements and the colors.
Salad portion was good size.
Croquet ma'am was surprisingly very good. Enjoyed the most amongst other menu items.
Almond croissants were nice.
Cappuccino portion was really small.
Mocha portion was decent.
Menu is really big and many varieties to order from.
Staff service was good, except they were not very helpful with entertainer voucher. Felt as if they purposely wanted the bill to be higher and I was with a group of 5. Didn't feel good about it.
The interiors of the cafe is one of the main reason as to why this place is worth a visit. Victorian era style interiors elevate the look of the place. Their coffee too tastes good!
Shakespeare trade center souq is one of my favourite places in abu dhabi food quality salads burgers and sweets are perfect , recently new staff and trainee service slightly affected , hope they will solve this issue .
Love the whole english ambience and experience! Not just the food but the place soaks you in, Good hearty portions of breakfast, coffee and their pastries are just tooooo good!
Nice ambience and great food. Savory crepe was tasty. Very quiet environment in the morning and indoor seating arrangement is attractive. We enjoyed the breakfast a lot. Looking forward to visit again.
Always a perfect place for cake and coffee. Inside and outside sitting. Large variety of lovely tasty cakes (and maybe more, I did not Try others food.)
Good and Friendly Service. Good Prize. I will Come back next time
It’s usually a hit or miss with this place. I’ve had some really good meals and some not so great. I would definitely recommend their lentil soup and salads though.
A nice cool place to unwind in the World Trade Centre complex with an eclectic menu spanning many cuisines, fabulous interior decor, wonderful cakes and pies for sale, delicious breakfasts as well as cool refreshing drinks such as this Lemon Mint drink, all served by friendly staff. A small gastro universe of delights
Excellent service, great ambience and yummy food.
Went there with a friend, she had avocado and poached egg on toast and I had the burrata salad and can I just say YUM (for both).
Friday brekafast scenes are such hard earned after a hectic work week and the food at Shakespeare & Co. is what one deserves on a weekend.
We tried a variety of options and were all smiles till we stepped out raving about the fresh ingredients, that perfect taste and ofcourse the Entertainer once again did widen that smile on our faces.
Some of the favorites on the tables were:
Avocado & Egg toast: Well done eggs laid on a bed of zesty tangy avocado mixed with jalapenos on a crisp brown bread toast was worth for every buck !
Steak and Egg: The steak portion is the surprise element i here and as always the medium rare was as good as it could be.
Smoked Salmon with Scrambled Eggs: Well cooked smoked salmon mixed with scrambled egg on a crispy toast was one filling option.
After all of these, we struggled to eat the French Toast. Also, do try their herb butter on the toast while waiting for your food to arrive..its awesome !
Price- Reasonable for the Quality
Quality of food - Good
Quantity - Good
Staff - Very Good
Place - Good
Had Lunch
Strawberry Lemonade -4*
The Classic -4*
Fettuccine Carbonara-4*
We were invited for a lunch. Service was friendly. Special thanks to Maiden and Mr. Ahmed for the invite.
We ordered vegetarian curry and avocado egg toast. And their famous Green dragon drink. Food was delicious. The drink was refreshing in this hot summer.
They are on entertainer which allows us to choose any course and not just limited to main course like other restaurants.
They've made a few changes to their menu, quinoa salad is one of them , superior quality , big portion , good to share , hard to eat something along with it if you're alone
Standard artisan decor surrounds the innards of the place. Breakfast options are really good, yet place is perfect for a quick coffee or a light dinner/lunch too. Selection of drinks is great as well including their cocktails. Definitely a good vibe place.
Love the ambiance. When we enter the restaurant staff are very friendly and approachable. They served the food on time, we ordered lasagna and croque monsieur and its was so delicious and for sure we will come back.
Milk shake is good, i tried coffe that is also nice, i also tried eggs and foul it tastes amazing, ambience is very beautiful and services are good and staff is freindly
Delightful. Appetizing. Ambrosial. Brackish. Caustic. Luscious. Mellow. Piquant. Saporific. Dulcet. =equals = Shakespeare and Co. 😍 (this is not overrated, try and have a bite) 🤗
Great ambience in a very colorful format... loved the decor and settings.. had some pancakes and burrito breakfast was delicious, fresh and just right quantities... the staff was very attentive and courteous... loved it ... will be back again and again ..!!!
Food – Caramel Popcorn Milkshake , BBQ Pineapple Chicken Pizza , Beef Burger , Seafood Platter , Chocolate Crepe , Spaghetti Bolognese , Chicken Sandwhich. Caramel Popcorn Milkshake – Oh God! It felt like drinking the caramel popcorn you get at the movies
✅ Very fine restaurant location
✅ Sophisticatedly situated in WTC Souk
✅A bit pricy but you will get your money's worth
✅Great for afternoon tea or evening get together with colleagues
✅Great location for birthdays
✅The restaurant fixture is very classy, designs are first rate - good for Instagramable selfies ;)
✅The strawberry cheesecakes is overly delicious, I can finish the whole lot :) hahaha..
✅ Ordered Chocolate Milkshake,Turkish Coffee, & Cakes
X The Salmon in the Shakespeare and Co. Saadiyat Island Branch is too small - not sure in this branch.
✅Staffs are friendly, nice, and attentive.
Ordered oriental breakfast. They have very nice eggs and foul. Their coffee is also really nice and the restaurant ambiance is amazing. I love their victorian furniture. It is one of the best places for breakfast!!
This is my third time in shakespeare & co. And ive returned for the same reason... their perfectly portioned breakfasts! The hash brows were crispy, the mushrooms well sautéed, beans not too sweet, bacon well done, potatoes the right kind of soft and so on... they delivered what was promised. It was accompanied with freshly squeezed orange juice and a cup of hot chocolate. That was my favorite part of the meal. It was a rich gourmet chocolate mix which was thick and creamy and the correct amount of sweetness. Id go back for the breakfasts after a while but i might go for the hot chocolate sooner.
What we bought : 1 American breakfast (Aed 62), 1 English breakfast (aed 62)
1 entertainer voucher used
Shakespeare and Co. used to be one of my favourite restaurants back in Qatar. So when me and bestie found this gem in Abu Dhabi, I couldn't be happier. Service was great and server couldn't do enough for us, food just as amazing as I remember and look at those portions 👌 #birthdaymeal
Food Super Sarap and hindi masyadong matamis
Staff Friendly and Very Helpful
Ambiance Very Nice place and Instagrammable
Location Hidden
Price Fair but medyo maliit ung cake for the price
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Try the Moroccan tea ,small pound cakes ,breakfast and their fresh juice cocktails

Absolutely love the way they've decked up the place! I personally prefer their breakfast menu more so than their lunch/dinner. However, if you're a fan of pancakes I'd give you a heads-up and tell you NOT to order it from here. That's probably their only disappointing 👎 breakfast item. Their French toasts on the other hand are a MUST TRY!
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
I'm totally smitten by this place.Could spend hours & hours just basking in the beauty of their decor,sipping a cup of their hot jasmine lotus tea and munching on some biscuits.
Shakespeare and Co. stays true to its name by transporting us back in time.I believe the pictures speak for themselves.
I went for an English breakfast complete with eggs,bacon,sausages,beans,roast potatoes and toast with a cappuccino & orange juice.My friend opted for the Croque Ma'am Sandwich topped with fried egg.We loved everything on the plate.
Eventhough we were totally FULL..those cakes we saw on the display kept coming back in our minds and we had to definitely try one of those.The carrot cake with a passion fruit filling was our choice.It looked divine but the taste not as much.
In short,we had a beautiful Saturday all thanks to the food & ambience & service at Mr.Shakespeare's place 😉 and of course my favorite company Aku!
Oh i almost forgot..Since Valentines is coming up they also have Chocolate bouquets on sale.My darling BFF got me one and the chocolates taste yumm..
Have been there many times Salads are great we tried the spicy chicken salad and COP salad ,burger was good.
Food is clean and fresh, staff are polite and helpful.
They serve homemade butter and bread as appatizers which is excellent ..
I love the decorations.
English oldies style.
Order a spaghetti and cappuccino for my breakfast.
Staff are friendly.
Price a bit expensive
They have also Shakespeare apps that u can download and register to get point if you visit the restaurant
Hazelnut success is one of the best thing ive ever tasted 😍 its just soo melt in the mouth kind of cake. I have even tried melissa and celesta its also good and even chicken crepe which was marvelous 👌👌. All home delivery and the packing presentation should get a 5star
The best breakfast place in Abu Dhabi. The sets are indulgent and served all day. They also allow a very high degree of customization to the order. The wtc outlet is very chic and cosy. Takes me back to Paris. The american breakfasts and crepes are a must try. The classic chicken is cooked perfectly, however I always change the sides. They serve it with a mashed potato which is a thick circular pile of potatoes and the rucola salad is too bitter. However they both can be substituted, with the most amazing crisp french fries and a mixed salad. The desserts are a standout as well with the chocolate cake with apricot jam (Celeste ) being the best one I had so far.
I like the fact that you could enjoy some sun in a peaceful, comfortable classy seating area, while ordering off of the menu, which contains top international food classics, always freshly made. My only remark would be to offer more promotions, and add some new customizations every now and then.
visited this place many times.. they have one of the best breakfasts. Their dishes are huge in portion. They have outdoor seating as well. One of the best breakfasts I've had in town !!
I usually visit this place during winter months to enjoy their outdoor sitting area. I like their fresh juices and healthy breakfast. White omelette is very nice. Great place!
Always a good experience in this locally developed brand. I love their crepes with turkey and emmental cheese. Their deserts are exceptional too. What can be improved would be their coffee which is just average.
"Excellent environment,friendly service,great menu choices and really decent food in affordable prices especially to Cake Lovers!😘😘😘😘.We will definitely go back!😉😉😉
It's very good the desserts there are really good they have an amazing service. As well their food is very good and the nice thing that your food is served quickly.
Been here hundreds of times as it's right across from home. Good selection of desserts. Cream of mushroom soup is excellent. Best item on the menu is the chocolate fondant - takes 30 mins to prepare and is simply divine. I take my friends there just for that.
Rest everything else is very regular. They have branded everything which gives their restaurant a unique look but wouldn't go there simply for the food, only a few selected items.
I visited this branch with my wife in the valentine's, and when I ordered the receipt, I found they give us 50% discount. This branch have a unique view and service. The food was awesome too.
It was crowded like crazy! Thankfully I was allocated to a table all for myself 😊 i really want to give a shoutout for the waiters and waitresses that were managing this chaos! I was pleased with my service and the food was divine! I had calamari and salmon sandwich ... this is one of the best places to have salmon sandwich! I definitely recommend this dish over everything .. I always order it 😂 even though I did try ordering the vegeteriana pizza , the smell was appetizing and I liked it but I feel like it could be better. The proportions are good and it is fulfilling.
هالفرع من الكوفي متميز وايد عن الفروع الثانيه و هو الخدمه الممتازه واااايد رغم الزحمه اللي فيه بس الخدمه على مستوى ممتاز يوصل الطلب للطاوله بسرعه وبوقت مناسب و المتميز في شكسبير كوفي بأنهم يحطون معلومات بمحتويات كل كيك ينعرض فيه بالعربي
انا اخترت كيكة شوكلاته بلا بيض Eggless cake لذيذه و خفيفه و مافيها سكر وايد و طلبت شاي مغربي بلا سكر و كانت ممتازه و معها كان كان كيكات صغيره هاي وايد اعجبتني
تجربتي هالفرع كانت ممتازه وايد 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Awesome cakes... Visited this place twice just for their cakes and never returned disappointed. Their coffee is good too. Interior is nice (worn out in some places) and descent. You should visit this place during winter and sit outside the restaurant. Friendly staff and you will get smiles from the visitors sitting next to you as well.
So, me and the hubby made an impromptu visit to this restaurant while strolling through the souk within WTC. And, boy, am I so glad we did!! Loved this restaurant.. It has a wonderful 'Victorian' theme to it.. kinda reminded me of the shabby chic decor straight out Pinterest. So cozy, colourful, and happy. The food and service was great. Also enjoyed the delicious little butter cookies and the complementary bread with herb-spread. They have quite a varied menu, that includes breakfast, coffees, pasta, sandwiches, and of course, main-course dinner. I would, definitely, recommend this place to all.
It is one of the restos that not only i was impressed by the food specially how they do egg benedict but also it is one of the few restos that has the most impressive interiors, it was so nice and the ambiance really makes u feel good. It is one good recommends to friends and family.
Absolutely love love the decor, cozy, very sophisticated colors. I went for breakfast with my friend and we ordered Labanese breakfast it was very nice with variety of things 4,5 things in good quantity we both were full by the time we wanted to get some sweets. Very fresh food! Must visit for breakfast will go again and try the other breakfasts.
This is the best place to stop when we have sweet or dessert cravings. They have got some awesome pastries to try. We bought their chocolate eclair pastry, and one more chocolate pastry n completely fell in love with those.
Shakespeare & Co.
Me and my husband are like crazy about the herbed butter here and enjoy the complimentary bread basket that goes along with it.
Their interior has the lovely cosy vintage look.
Normally I always go to the Sadiyat Island one and have always felt good going there.
Since this branch is closer went here along with friends. I suggested we try their pasta. We changed the Fettuccine Alfredo with wild mushrooms to Penne and added grilled chicken to this. And must say the girls were happy and all of us enjoyed the pasta. Perfect ratio of the sauce and the pasta topped with parmesan cheese. We wanted to try the pastries which I know is really good there but we were too full.
Cozy décor, friendly staff. By now visiting Shakespeare is a bit like going home in terms of comfort. The menu has also become very familiar with the years (only a few changes). Most dishes are not quite memorable, yet we never had a bad meal here. Good options for kids too.
This place does complete justice to the name it has...its very nice place even for a date ;).. i cant stop about what they ahve did with the place and the food is lovely ..their sandwiches are delicious.
Shakespeare and Co. is one of those restaurants that looks so cute and enticing when you pass it that you’ll definitely be tempted to go inside. The decor is different for every restaurant but they all have the same colorful theme with overstuffed couches and drapes. I believe the pictures will explain the ambiance better than any paragraphs I can write.
We eat yesterday at dinner the design is nice the food is good and the service is amazing thank you for mr ahmed and we will come back again.
Nice place to hangout to relax after late night's overtime for a piece of cake and nice comfy drink... Interiors are superb for thematic French Victorian style... Staffs are well trained and polite as well... I usually bring tourists friends here 😊
Great value for money. The level of service at most of their outlets is generally consistent. Definitely worth visiting. Recommend trying their various breakfast options.
I have been there several times for the breakfast and it never lets me down. Good value for money. They do have interesting cakes too but unfortunately very sweet, you don't really taste the ingredients, only sugar.
