Crafting a premium destination venue that seamlessly bridges the gap between sophisticated dining and a relaxed bar atmosphere requires a clear lifestyle vision and meticulous service execution. At the Middle East F&B Excellence Awards 2026, Horse & Hound at Al Habtoor Polo Club earned prestigious industry recognition as the Commended Best Restaurant Bar of the Year.

Overlooking the pristine, lush greens of the legendary polo fields, Horse & Hound treats guests to a refined yet brilliantly welcoming retreat away from the city's fast pace.

The venue balances a superb, comforting gastro-pub menu with a finely masterfully executed beverage program, ensuring that casual weekend sundowners and elegant family dinners alike hit the perfect note.

This Commended distinction honors their stellar operational teamwork, unique conceptual aesthetic, and ongoing dedication to premium casual hospitality.
