"Milanese drinks and stuzzichini, minus the flight to Milan."
Scala gives DIFC the civilised version of after-work drinks: handcrafted cocktails, Italian stuzzichini and four hours in which dinner can happen naturally or not at all.
The mood is mid-century Milan rather than loud happy hour, making this a useful daily plan for one excellent drink that quietly becomes three.
★ MUST DO
“Start with the Ottagono 1956, Scala's architectural take on a Negroni.”
Gate Village 1, DIFC, Dubai
★ LOCAL TIP
“Come close to 4pm for the room at its calmest. By dinner time, DIFC has remembered it likes a scene.”
