Amethyst restaurant in Mayfair, London is set to close after chef Carlo Scotto announced his departure citing “differences with his business partners”.
The restaurant was opened in 2021 and its opening was announced by Scotto while he was head chef of Xier in Marylebone, London.
The restaurant was listed in the Michelin Guide for its “12-course surprise menu of delicate and fine-looking dishes”.
Scotto said: “The last 12 months has been an exciting, yet challenging journey and I’d like to thank my customers for their support. We picked up many positive reviews and accolades in our 12 months of trading, including being the only new recipient of four AA rosettes this year.
“I am going to take a short break whilst I consider my options to ensure my next role that allows me to continue to showcase my passion for fine dining and commitment to delivering some of the best food in the UK. Stay tuned, I am excited for the next chapter.”
