Catch at St. Regis: Abu Dhabi Seafood with Japanese Precision

Seafood with a real sense of place

Catch at St. Regis is not simply another restaurant attached to a luxury hotel. It sits within the Nation Riviera Beach Club side of The St. Regis Abu Dhabi, giving the dining room and terrace a direct relationship with the water. Marriott describes the kitchen as contemporary and occidental with particular attention to caviar, oysters, sushi and crab. That combination sounds broad on paper, but the MICHELIN Guide gives the menu a clearer shape: Japanese influence runs through the nigiri and sashimi, while plates for sharing and charcoal grilling keep the restaurant rooted in seafood rather than turning it into a general Asian menu.

The menu rewards people who order across categories

The pleasure here comes from moving between raw, chilled and grilled dishes. A table can begin with oysters or sashimi, shift into sushi and sharing plates, then finish with fish or shellfish carrying the deeper flavour of the charcoal grill. Michelin specifically calls out the Blow Torch Dynamite Roll as a strong opening move, which captures the restaurant’s style: polished, technically careful and willing to add a little theatre. The luxury ingredients are obvious, but the restaurant is strongest when those ingredients are handled with restraint rather than treated as status symbols.

Recognition that still feels relaxed

Catch remains listed by the MICHELIN Guide and is currently shown open every day from noon until midnight. Independent diner feedback in 2026 continues to highlight the waterfront setting and the breadth of the seafood selection, while Tripadvisor records a 2025 Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best distinction. The practical information is unusually straightforward: Nation Riviera Beach Club on Corniche Road, +971 2 694 4553, and lunch through late dinner seven days a week. For Simply Abu Dhabi, Catch belongs in the guide because it balances three things that do not always coexist: resort polish, a genuine seafood identity and an outdoor setting that makes the Corniche part of the meal.
