INTERIOR DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE
LW Design , Atherton , and Grosvenor House Dubai granted complete creative freedom to create an upscale residentialinspired restaurant concept . The result is a space that exudes refinement , warmth , and eclectic beauty .
Designed to resonate with a sense of accomplishment , Row on 45 embraces the very essence of refinement and elegance . The restaurant ’ s concept revolves around the idea of a celebrated old friend ’ s home , creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that delights and comforts guests . Every aspect of the design exudes sophistication , from the classic wall panelling and timber corniches to the intricately crafted architraves and detailed profiles reminiscent of a distinguished private residence .
Upon arriving at Row on 45 , you are greeted by a stunning foyer adorned with a leather and brassclad welcome desk , complemented by solid parquet flooring and a lush fur wallcovering backdrop . A leather reading chair nestled in front of a builtin bookcase completes the inviting entrance . The culinary journey begins in the Champagne Lounge , offering breathtaking views of Palm Jumeirah . You are treated to an aperitif and welcomed by the resident sommelier in a room featuring a residentialstyle bar boasting the finest collection of champagne .
Poltrona Frau wing chairs in emerald leather provide a comfortable setting to savour the view and indulge in the introductory courses , whilst satirical artworks add a touch of humour .
Moving through a corridor , you are led to the theatre-style Dining Room , where a live stage awaits , showcasing Jason Atherton ’ s culinary artistry in a state-of-theart residential show kitchen . Seated at the chef ’ s table , you will witness each course being diligently prepared and presented as a work of art , engaging all the senses . Swivel armchairs with whimsical fringe details allow you to enjoy the kitchen spectacle and the stunning Dubai Marina view whilst relishing a tailored dining experience .
The final room , the Chef ’ s Library , is the pièce de résistance . As you journey through the private wine cellar , a solid marble mantlepiece comes into view ,
framing the magnificent scenery beyond . Surrounded by vintage furniture , faultless joinery , bookcases and the same fur textile wallcovering as the entrance , the library provides the perfect setting to enjoy the last course .
The execution of Row on 45 encompasses 733 square meters of space , accommodating only 22 covers to ensure an intimate and extraordinary dinner experience . The sequence of events throughout the evening takes you on a captivating journey through the various meticulously designed spaces of Level 45 .
No detail has been spared in the creation of Row on 45 . The venue exudes a sense of timeless elegance from bespoke timber , marble , leather , and metal finishes executed with an authentic classical touch .
The allure of Row on 45 extends beyond its exquisite design and culinary excellence . Plans are underway to expand the concept to London , with a sister restaurant set to open on the iconic Savile Row , solidifying its position as a true culinary destination .
Row on 45 is a testament to the vision and creativity of celebrity chef Jason Atherton and the collaborative efforts of the design team at LW Design , headed by Pooja Shah-Mulani and Jesper Axel Petersen . Together , they have transformed the venue into a haven of gastronomic delight , refinement , and luxury .
