Iconic steakhouse Rowley’s expands from London to Dubai 

The Jermyn Street restaurant is famous for its Entrecôte Steak.

Restaurants have long been making their way between the United Kingdom and UAE. Now, London’s spectacular steakhouse, Rowley’s, is set to expand to Dubai. While the location and opening date for Rowley’s Dubai has not yet been confirmed, here’s what we do know.  

The original Rowley’s restaurant can be found in Jermyn Street, London. The first location was home to the Walls meat business, and where Richard Walls learnt his trade. Over the years, the business has been kept in the family, and prides itself on maintaining the same high quality.  

In 1976, Rowley’s opened its restaurants, and gained a reputation for its steaks. The concept showcases steaks that are dry aged and grass fed, and traditional British food. Today’s menu spans bites, starters, house specials, mains sides, sauces and desserts. The signature dish is the Entrecôte Steak, which is served with the restaurant’s secret herb, roquefort and butter sauce.

While the menu for Rowley’s Dubai has not yet been unveiled, the London menu is filled with dishes that have put the concept on the culinary map. House specials include British Chicken Supreme, Fillet Steak and Sirloin Steak. Mains include Battered Line Caught Cod, Roasted Gourmet Cheeseburger and Roasted Salmon. Sides include Buttered Green Beans, Mashed Potato and Tenderstorm Broccolli. Plus, desserts include Apple Tarte Tatin, Chocolate and Hazelnut Mousse Cheesecake, and Sticky Toffee Pudding. 

The original venue boasts an old-world charm. The décor includes floor-to-ceiling windows that look out on the classy St James’s crowds. The design boasts dark brown woods, dramatic mirrors, framed photographs, and a classic clock. Let’s hope that the Dubai venue manages to replicate this same classic charm.
