Beside, and connected to, Etihad Modern Art Gallery, this artsy cafe, with its shaded patio scattered with tables and seating made from recycled oil-barrels and fuel canisters, is a colourful bohemian hangout. There's good coffee, excellent smoothies and breakfast plates as well as wraps, salads and burgers if you're peckish.
