Michael Caines will offer guests a special à la carte menu, tasting menu and a one-off hosted four-course dinner at Scott’s restaurant in Jumeirah at Etihad Towers from February 1 to 8.

The Michael Caines gourmet celebration is part of a promotion jointly undertaken by the hotel and Etihad Guest – Etihad Airways’s loyalty programme - to welcome one of Britain’s most acclaimed chefs to the UAE capital.

Each day of the culinary celebration will provide visitors the opportunity to enjoy the chef;s signature cuisine style that is modern, based on the finest produce and ingredients, yet rooted in classic cooking techniques and traditions, the hotel says.

Adding to the celebrations the Scott’s upper deck terrace, which looks out onto the Arabian Gulf, will be open every evening throughout Chef Caines’s visit from 9 pm to late and will offer quality beverages, bar menu snacks prepared by the chef and DJ musical accompaniment.
