The DPL Verdict

“The best Dubai choice for diners who want a serious chef's-table format at a lower food price than the city's three-star restaurants.”

Restaurant Overview

Jason Atherton's 22-seat penthouse restaurant on the 45th floor of Grosvenor House, serving a multi-act tasting menu with Japanese ingredients and French technique.

Row on 45 offers one of Dubai's most controlled chef-led dining experiences. The restaurant seats only 22 guests and divides dinner into a sequence of spaces and courses. The current tasting menu is AED 845, with a vegetarian menu at the same price, a AED 345 non-alcoholic pairing and three wine-pairing levels. A AED 500 deposit and strict cancellation window apply, so diners should treat the reservation as a ticketed experience and arrive before the final 8:00 PM seating.
