Rowley’s
Rowley’s is a classic, no frills, steakhouse. The original UK establishment opened in 1976, with Dubai its first overseas operation. The décor is a loving homage to what a hedge fund manager imagines Paris must look like after two glasses of rosé – think plush red banquette seating and lighting that flatters no one except the foie gras. The menu is an unrepentant Anglophile’s fantasy, with steak frites so reverentially served that there’s not much point perusing the rest of the menu. Service pirouettes between overbearing and invisible. There’s an innovative hidden bar, Tap Line, with draught cockails to try.
