Scott's

London's Celebrity Restaurants - London - The Infatuation

"Scott’s in Mayfair is where celebrities go when they want to run into other celebrities and/or don’t know what’s cool these days. Creatures of habit will appreciate the dependable dover sole and fancy take on fish and chips, but we find the room itself to be a bit boring. Unless of course you consider spotting James Corden across the crustacean bar exciting. In which case… you might just love it here." - jake missing, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak

London’s Oldest Restaurants That Feel Like A Time Capsule - London - The Infatuation

"What To Get: The dover sole, and something to keep yourself entertained. Time Capsule Factor: Scott’s is a big name in the London seafood restaurant game. It’s been around for what feels like forever, and the stiff, sometimes uptight energy inside can make you feel like you’ve travelled back to a time where fun was prohibited. But the seafood at the Mayfair restaurant is mostly excellent, especially the buttery dover sole." - jake missing, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak

"Scott's is proof that a restaurant can have a long, proud history and still be fashionable, glamorous and relevant. It has a terrific clubby atmosphere and if you’re in a two then the counter is a great spot. The choice of prime quality fish and shellfish is impressive." - Michelin Inspector

The Best Things We Ate This Week - London - The Infatuation

"“I had one of my favourite lunches ever at Scott’s Richmond last year, partly due to the stunning room with a picturesque view of the river, but mostly because of the faultless fish dishes. My experience at the original Mayfair seafood restaurant wasn’t quite as magical, up until they brought over this whole banoffee cheesecake. The menu said it’s a sharing dessert. But this thing was big enough for a five-person family. The thick, malty base was topped with a tall layer of thick, dense cream and three big chunks of caramelised banana. It was an intimidatingly good-looking dessert that cut like a cloud and tasted like a fluffy, caramel-y, biscuity mess.” - RS" - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

Scott’s Mayfair - Review - Mayfair - London - The Infatuation

"When it comes to old-school London restaurants, Scott’s is a big name. This Mayfair seafood spot has been around since 1851 and its springtime flower arrangements are always a photo opp, but the truth is it’s got a bit of a stick up its arse. The crowd is usually a mix of suit-wearing regulars or families trying to have a ‘nice dinner’, and it can feel a little stiff and serious at times. photo credit: John Carey photo credit: Paul Winch-Furness photo credit: John Carey photo credit: Paul Winch-Furness photo credit: Paul Winch-Furness Pause Unmute Some of the fish dishes made us wide-eyed in appreciation—we’re looking at you buttery dover sole—but others made us regret paying upwards of £30 for an overly sweet piece of salmon. It’s hit and miss depending on your order, so here’s how you should play it. Get a fish that’s cooked in butter, or the deep-fried haddock for a fancy take on fish and chips. And don’t leave without trying the bramley apple pie or the banoffee cheesecake to share. They’re both excellent, and an exciting way to round off an otherwise kind-of-boring dinner. If you’re in the mood for a fancy seafood supper, the Richmond location is a lot more compelling." - Rianne Shlebak
