As many fancy new restaurants open in Dubai, as existing also new places introduce new menu’s and concepts. It’s often worth keeping an eye our for new menu’s as they can be as interesting as the opening of a new concept. The Gary Rhodes restaurant W1 opened about two years ago in the Grosvenor House, it’s been well received but isn’t a house hold name nor widely spoken about as a must visit on the top restaurants in Dubai. However, there is no real reason why it shouldn’t be. Here are 5 reasons you need to check it out…<\/p>\n

First, for those short on time… here is a quick snapchat review compilation video…<\/h3>\n
<\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>1. They have a new Anglo-French cuisine only menu<\/h3>\n<p>The highlights for me were the steak tartare which was simply amazing. And the chicken kiev, which was like what my mum would have cooked twenty years ago, and not the fast food chicken kiev’s that have become common. Diners can opt for \u201cThe Classic\u201d set menu for the entire table where guests start with a delectable <strong><em>Amuse Bouche<\/em><\/strong> of white tomato soup, followed by <strong><em>Seared Foie Gras<\/em><\/strong>, with crushed ratte potato cake, passion fruit jus and macerated grapes. Up next is the <strong>Crab Lasagne, <\/strong>warm crab lasagne with Avruga caviar and a light crab bisque sauce. Tuck into delicate <strong><em>Halibut<\/em><\/strong>, served with poached prawns, samphire, lime and vanilla dressing and then enjoy the <strong><em>Fillet of Beef, <\/em><\/strong>served with red wine burgundy ragout of button onions, mushrooms, pancetta and frogs\u2019 legs confit. Moving onto dessert, indulge in <strong><em>Whipped Brie<\/em><\/strong> served on toasted raisin bread and finish off with melt in the mouth <strong><em>Raspberry Souffle<\/em><\/strong>, clotted cream ice cream and hot raspberry sauce.\u00a0<br \/>There is a separate grill\u00a0that offers a selection of <strong><em>120+ Day Grain FED USDA Prime cuts<\/em><\/strong>, including Fillet, Sirloin, Rib Eye and Chateaubriand<\/p>\n<figure class=\"content__image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"296\" alt=\"Screenshot 2016 10 30 15 09 51\" src=\"https:\/\/cloud.lovindubai.com\/images\/uploads\/2016\/10\/_blogWide\/Screenshot-2016-10-30-15.09.51.png?mtime=20161030155657\"><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"content__image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Screenshot 2016 10 30 15 09 31\" src=\"https:\/\/cloud.lovindubai.com\/images\/uploads\/2016\/10\/_blogWide\/Screenshot-2016-10-30-15.09.31.png?mtime=20161030155624\"><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"content__image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"296\" alt=\"Screenshot 2016 10 30 15 09 23\" src=\"https:\/\/cloud.lovindubai.com\/images\/uploads\/2016\/10\/_blogWide\/Screenshot-2016-10-30-15.09.23.png?mtime=20161030155552\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"c-adunit c-adunit--mpu_mid\">\n<div id=\"mpu_mid\" class=\"c-adunitcontainer\"> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>2. The service is so quintessentially British with a French accent<\/h3>\n<p>Even with a casual dining venue, the\u00a0Which is why the service is so important. Each waiter that came to our table held our attention, (even the one who told silly jokes). You would expect nothing less of a Gary Rhodes restaurant, he has just spent the summer in France, so that combination is evident in every element of the restaurant, from the new menu to the flair of the staff.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>3. The cocktails are great<\/h3>\n<p>Finding a mixologist who really appreciates whisky is hard. Finding one who can make an Old Fashioned taste great without sugar is even harder.\u00a0Igor at W1 is one such guy. I personally would come back to the Old Fashioned alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>4. The entrance, setting and interior are all tastefully done<\/h3>\n<p>There is a lot going on in the Grosvenor house. Once you navigate your way (down to the right – up one level – straight, left then straight again)\u00a0to W1, you are quite relieved to see such a nice restaurant entrance. It’s like entering into a VIP enclosure at Wimbledon tennis championships. The main dining area has white-table cloth fine dining element to it, that brings up the casual dining ambience a level, and the terrace has nice views of the marina.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"contentimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"296\" alt=\"Screenshot 2016 10 30 15 09 16\" src=\"https:\/\/cloud.lovindubai.com\/images\/uploads\/2016\/10\/_blogWide\/Screenshot-2016-10-30-15.09.16.png?mtime=20161030151504\"><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"content__image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"302\" alt=\"Screenshot 2016 10 30 15 09 07\" src=\"https:\/\/cloud.lovindubai.com\/images\/uploads\/2016\/10\/_blogWide\/Screenshot-2016-10-30-15.09.07.png?mtime=20161030151437\"><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"content__image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"291\" alt=\"Screenshot 2016 10 30 15 08 37\" src=\"https:\/\/cloud.lovindubai.com\/images\/uploads\/2016\/10\/_blogWide\/Screenshot-2016-10-30-15.08.37.png?mtime=20161030151410\"><\/figure>\n<h3>The details & the verdict<\/h3>\n<p>Rhodes W1 is open for dinner from 7pm-11.30pm and is closed on Sunday.
