The Al Mureijah restaurant inside the foundation
Fen’s own website identifies this branch as inside Sharjah Art Foundation, Al Mureijah Square, Al Mareija, Sharjah, and publishes 06 561 3029. Its exact map listing identifies Fen Café & Restaurant at Shk. Abdullah Bin Ali Al Mahmoud Square in Mureijah and links the same website and phone. Use this location for the restaurant, rather than another Fen outlet.
The foundation’s current venue directory describes Al Mureijah Square as having exhibition spaces, community space, an information centre, shop, café and restaurant, open year-round. Some exhibition spaces can close for installation. An exhibition’s schedule or admission arrangement is separate from the café or restaurant meal.

Food around an art visit, with the menu date kept clear
The foundation’s current visitor guidance directs people to Fen Café or restaurants near its venues for coffee and snacks before or after exhibitions. It also states that food and drinks are not allowed in exhibition spaces. Plan the refreshment stop separately from time inside a gallery.
The foundation’s earlier visitor guide described Fen Restaurant at Bait Hassan Mukhtar in Al Mureijah Square with coffee, pastries, sandwiches, salads and grills. The PDF currently linked by the foundation has March 2017 metadata, so that description is historical background. Its old per-person prices are not today’s menu prices.
Fen’s own website is under construction and does not supply a current complete food menu. For a particular lunch or dinner, use the branch phone to establish the dishes being served, portions, ingredients, preparation requirements and full charges. The earlier guide’s range is not a promise that a specific grill, sandwich or salad is available now.

Listed restaurant hours are different from gallery hours
The exact Al Mureijah restaurant map lists Saturday to Thursday 08:00–23:00 and Friday 15:00–23:00. These are the published venue hours, rather than a confirmed kitchen opening, last order or holiday timetable. Establish the intended meal’s service window with this branch.
Sharjah Art Foundation publishes its own venue and exhibition opening information. Those gallery hours do not replace the restaurant’s separately listed schedule. If combining an exhibition and food, check the actual venue programme as well as the restaurant meal time; an open café does not prove every gallery is open.

Branch contact and the other Fen locations
The branch’s published phone is +971 6 561 3029, supported by its own website and matching exact map entry. The website can identify the business and contact even while its complete site is under construction. A table arrangement, dietary request or service enquiry still needs a direct response; no current booking or cancellation policy is established from those pages.
Fen’s public operator bio lists Sharjah Art Foundation, Al Majaz 1, Rain Room, The Flying Saucer, Al Suhub Rest House and Kalba Ice Factory. These are separate locations with different settings. Use the Al Mureijah branch’s own menu and service times when planning this visit.
A brand-level kitchen post dated 19 October 2026 shows Fen continuing to promote food preparation, but it does not establish a particular branch’s dish inventory. Keep the Al Mureijah name, address and phone together when choosing where to eat.
