From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2009

Perhaps the link to its fine-dining, Gordon Ramsay-owned neighbour, Verre, has influenced the food for the better.

Or perhaps it’s the fact that Verre’s chef, Matt Pickop, oversees the menu here as well. Regardless, given the high quality of the food at Glasshouse, the bill at the end of the night is always surprisingly low.

The mussels, served in a divinely lemony broth, make a hearty and comforting main course. Lovers of pork belly are also in for a treat, as the variant here is meltingly delicate. The gooey, teeth-clinchingly sweet banoffee cheesecake makes a decadent end to a splendid meal. Friday brunches – a cut above the usual Dubai booze-fests – are also a popular option here, as are the Monday drink deals (Dhs10 per drink when you order two courses.

Basically a grand spot if you want Verre-quality food at a lower price.

I found this restrauant to have the ambience of a coffee shop and the food was poor. I felt cheated by the promotion for the Dhs10 drinks promotion.
I would definately not be going back.

I recently went to the Glasshouse for a big group dinner with friends and we had the best time. It was also quite refreshing to visit another part of Dubai!

We went all out and had starters, mains and desserts all of which were absolutely fantastic and quite a delight to see a significant change in the menu as I have been going to the Glasshouse for quite some time!

Thoroughly recommend this restaurant to all

Very good food, fantastic service and great drink deals on a Monday and Wednesday. We have been several times including brunch and found it to be one of the best restaurnts for value and deals in the city. Why is it not listed inthe time out recognition awards?
