Scott’s traces its history back to the 1850s and has been on Mount Street since the 1960s. The dining room is all oak panels and modern British art around a central marble crustacea bar, and the menu celebrates fish and shellfish, from oysters and caviar to grilled Dover sole. The pavement terrace is one of the best places in Mayfair to watch the world go by.
