Catch at St. Regis

Catch is the seafood and sushi restaurant at the St. Regis Abu Dhabi, a refined dining room with an outdoor terrace that opens onto the hotel's beachfront garden. The sushi programme is the standout: an open kitchen where chefs prepare each piece to order, with fresh wasabi ground tableside - a detail that signals the level of care throughout the menu. The tempura prawn roll is a popular entry point, the spicy tuna delivers genuine heat and freshness, and the crab salad balances richness with precision. Beyond sushi, the seafood platter is generously composed and competitively priced for the quality, the miso black cod has the depth and glaze it demands, and the wagyu beef tacos work as a surprisingly effective crossover dish. The coffemisu dessert is an inventive closer worth saving room for. The wine list and cocktail programme are well-matched to the seafood focus. The terrace is the preferred setting - a garden view with beach beyond that works for both daytime lunches and evening celebrations. The team is notably polished: servers explain dishes and recommend pairings with genuine knowledge, pacing is well-judged with appropriate breaks between courses, and the restaurant handles occasions - birthdays, anniversaries - with thoughtful personal touches. The overall experience operates at a level that draws guests back multiple times in a single stay.
