What’s On Award winning chef Scott Price has all he needs by the Marina…

I moved over from London in 2010. I think it takes time to fall in love with Dubai, but it’s inevitable.

My wife and I have married since we moved over here and now have a child; so it’s definitely home. We moved to Dubai Marina after three years in the city. I really like the Marina – it’s great for an evening out, it’s child-friendly, and there are many places to eat.

Baker & Spice is not a hidden gem, but it’s a great cafe that serves well-sourced ingredients cooked nicely. It’s a lovely place to sit outside with a coffee and we always pick up some of their freshly baked bread.

My wife is a huge fan of Marks & Spencer’s food and could spend both our salaries there if she had the chance. It provides a welcome taste of the UK if we’re missing home.

Bistro Des Arts is a lovely place that offers a real taste of France in the Marina. They run a really well priced Apertivo happy hour menu every evening.

When I get time I go fishing at The Jetti at Al Sufouh public beach. Early in the morning the whole beach is empty and it’s extremely peaceful. I tend to work Fridays at Folly and then have Saturday off. I’ll catch up on a bit of sleep on Saturday morning, although I have far less of that than I used to since our daughter Georgia was born ten weeks ago.

We often walk to JBR when we can. There’s a really nice grassy area outside Lime Tree Cafe where you can grab picnic food, then watch the world go by.

You can find Scott at the helm of the kitchen at Folly by Nick & Scott, Madinat Jumeirah.
