Chef de cuisine, Carl Tichart oversees a menu that features oysters, Shetland mussels, Cornish crab, Scottish smoked salmon, and a roasted shellfish platter with lobster, scallops, razor clams and tiger prawns.
Scott’s original branch is the second-oldest restaurant in London. It was opened by fishmonger John Scott in 1851, as an oyster warehouse.
The outlet is rooted in London’s rich history. Ian Fleming, the originator of James Bond, was often spotted there throughout the 1950s and 1960s.
The Abu Dhabi restaurant incorporates the same casual dining style as its London outpost, with its signature green onyx bench top. Tiling, contemporary art installations, and banquette seating also mirror the London Mayfair restaurant’s Art Deco style.
One aspect unique to the Jumeirah at Etihad Towers branch is the views of the Arabian Gulf through its floor-to-ceiling glass walls and its very own landing jetty for boat and yacht access.
Scott’s is open for lunch and dinner and the oyster bar is open from 12pm to 1am everyday. The restaurant’s open terrace is also available for private dining and events.
