About Company
Catch’s calibre continually impresses diners with a menu of ‘haute cuisine’ strongly influenced by Asia. The location offers much of the venue’s appeal. Perched upon a pristine strip of sand within the Nation Riviera complex of The St. Regis Abu Dhabi, the views across the Arabian Gulf to Lulu Island are just as exciting as the cuisine.The restaurant’s design elements completely lean into the seafood concept and rather than opting for the expected nautical-inspired interiors, the space is far more modern. Sleek lines define a venue of brilliant whites that re-emphasises the notion of being at the beach. Driftwood perches upon tabletops, light bulbs are strung with entwined fisherman’s ropes and the sushi counter is fronted by a pattern of embossed fish scales. All nods to the sea, that help to build a relevant connection to the cuisine.
Upstairs lies a rooftop lounge ideal for an early evening sundowner, while the main restaurant boasts a wrap-around terrace that practically sits on top of the sand. Service remains one of the restaurant’s defining factors with a style that is efficient and allows for rapport to be built easily. Staff are well versed in the nuances of the food and beverage lists.
Under the guidance of Executive Chef Kavish Chimajee, Catch champions fresh produce, allowing even simple combinations of ingredients to transcend expectations in a bid to promote flavour.
Catch is the epitome of destination dining and the experience is representative of a meal that we don’t want to end, no matter how many times we visit. The recent appointment of industry veteran Claus Burbat as General Manager has really taken the venue to new heights. The ambience is made even warmer and more inviting through an updated playlist, giving the restaurant a casual yet stylish atmosphere, where classy meets trendy to create a more social culinary experience. No doubt, a result of elevated changes made under Claus’ leadership, with many subtler enhancements to come. Catch’scuisine blends together seafood, superfoods and high quality ingredients into exquisite dishes that we can only describe as “gourmet artistry.”
