Scully

Ramael Scully, previously head chef of Ottolenghi’s NOPI restaurant and co-author of the restaurant’s cookbook, solo venture in St James’s Market.

Scully features an informal yet refined dining room (think duck-egg blue furnishings and natual wood finishes) - a contrast to the vibrant colours and flavors of Scully's food. The restaurant includes a central open kitchen,  a large sharing table and a counter-dining area. The menu built around seasonal, sustainably-sourced ingredients from the British Isles alongside spices, herbs and flavours reflective of the chef’s layered heritage. Scully’s cooking is influenced by his mother, who is of Chinese and Indian descent, and his father’s Irish and Balinese heritage. 

The chef has built a larder full of his own made ingredients (on display at the entrance) that add layers of flavour and inspire new dishes; from homemade spices through the dehydration of herbs, seeds and flowers; homemade vinegars, pickles, syrups and preserves; and ‘programmes’ of oils and animal fats, dairy and sprouts. Scully offers a tasting menu-only in the evening - with an eight-course standard menu for £110 and a vegan menu for £90.
