Former Xier chef patron Carlo Scotto has announced his new London restaurant Amethyst will be open next month on Sackville Street in Mayfair.
Carlo Scotto, previously head chef at Xier in Marylebone, is to open a two-floor, 36-cover restaurant in London next month. While Amethyst menu will change regularly based on the availability of seasonal British produce, diners can expect the likes of burnt hay croquette; yuba tartelette with caviar and scallops; salmon and foie gras; caramel miso black cod and naganegi dashi; and ras el hanout beef, apple and date.
The ground floor will feature one big table (made with amethyst and quartz) seating 20 and will offer a twelve-course menu which is a mix of British produce with Nordic, Japanese, French and Arabic influences. On the lower ground floor, diners will be able to appreciate Amethyst’s extensive collection of fine wines whilst enjoying a six-course tasting menu option in addition to the 12-courses.
Amethyst will open Tuesday to Saturday, offering tasting menus at £90/$117 and £150/$195. For a bespoke experience, the Chef’s Table can be booked exclusively for private dinners.
