Refined and experiential dining in a penthouse-style setting

Sounds familiar: Acclaimed British chef Jason Atherton has made a triumphant return to Dubai’s culinary scene with a tasting menu concept inspired by decades of professional culinary experiences, as well as his personal travels.

Immersive environment: The dining experience, accommodating only 22 people at a time, is broken into three acts and enjoyed across three different spaces in the restaurant. Act I: The Finest Welcome sees guests invited to enjoy snacks and an aperitif;  Act II: The Pinnacle is the main event in full view of the open kitchen; and Act III: The Grand Finale allows diners to wind down with an aperitif in the chef’s library. If you can, book the intimate four-seater chef’s table.

An ode to Japan: Atherton’s love for Japanese ingredients and culture is evident through notable inclusions on the 17-course tasting menu featuring Hokkaido bafun uni, nodoguro and bluefin date maguro.

What’s in a name? Row on 45 is a combination of the acronym for Refinement of Work and a nod to its location on the 45th floor of Grosvenor House Hotel in the heart of Dubai’s marina area. Jumping an impressive 24 places up the ranking, Row on 45 is the winner of the Highest Climber Award 2025, sponsored by Ceder’s.
