Fitch Rates Café de la Paix 'AA'

Fitch Ratings has today assigned the Abu Dhabi-based Café de la Paix (CDLP) a Long-term Food Issuer Default Rating (FIDR) at 'AA' with a Stable Outlook.

Café de la Paix's rating reflects Fitch's view that there is an extremely high probability of good dining experiences at this local eatery. This is based on a strong history of providing excellent food, an easy-to-get-to location and relatively low prices.

The restaurant serves a variety of French and French-inspired fare, and all of it can confidently be called scrumptious, if not superb. The crèpes (both sweet and savory) will satisfy you if you're in the mood for a light meal, while the salads, sandwiches and pasta dishes are all excellent choices for a bigger sit-down dinner. The caesar chicken salad is highly recommended.

Café de la Paix, founded in 1998 in Abu Dhabi by a Sudanese woman, imports many of its ingredients from France. Surprisingly, they manage to keep it all fresh and delicious en route. It's some of the best food available in the capital in its price range (meals are around Dh50; locations are at Wahda Mall and Marina Mall). In a word: go.
