Jason Atherton has opened a tiny 22-seater restaurant in Dubai Marina

Row on 45 only serves a 17-course fine dining menu

The OG Dubai Marina hotel, Grosvenor House Dubai has opened a new fine dining concept, Row on 45, which only seats 22 people at a time.

The new restaurant, which was created by famed British chef Jason Atherton, offers a 17-course “haute cuisine menu” presented in three acts — Act I: The Finest Welcome, Act II: The Pinnacle, and Act III: The Grand Finale.

The name of the concept, Row on 45, derives its name from the idea of: “Refinement of Work” (ROW) and is located inside City Social.

You will start your evening at the bubbly lounge featuring a residential-style bar. The main dining area showcases an open “art show kitchen”. The Grand Finale takes place in the chef’s library.

What you can expect to eat at Row on 45

The menu at Row on 45 represents a lifetime of Atherton’s culinary exploration.

The evening starts with oysters and pearls, featuring Gillaudeau oyster ice cream set in buerre blanc, salt-washed kaluga N25 caviar, yuzu, nori meringue, cucumber jelly, and shiso flowers. This is followed by a Hokkaido scallop dish, and the saroma Wagyu A5 served with roasted carrot, miso butterscotch barbecue aubergine puree and finished with pomme aligot to name a few.

The meal ends with a classic British tradition-inspired jelly and ice cream, showcasing Japan’s seasonal fruit with elements like kyoho grapes, verjus jelly, nashi pear sorbet, matcha foam, and fresh zest of yuzu.

Row on 45 offers two grape-paring experiences that bring some of the finest selection of grape from around the world to complement each course.
