Michelin starred chef Gary Rhodes opens restaurant at Grosvenor House

The eagerly anticipated arrival of celebrity chef Gary Rhodes brings to Dubai the best of modern British cuisine served in one of Dubai's most stunning restaurants.

The Michelin starred chef will be taking over the flagship Mezzanine restaurant at Grosvenor House. Rhodes, famous in the UK for having successfully re-introduced the nation to their rich culinary heritage, and for having placed British cuisine firmly back on the international map, is on a mission to delight Dubai local and expats palates.

"Since opening, Mezzanine has become one of Dubai's most renowned restaurants, and I look forward to building on this solid foundation to create a truly exceptional culinary destination in Rhodes Mezzanine. Dubai is a wonderfully vibrant city with an eclectic mix of cultures all fused together in harmony," commented Gary Rhodes. "Food connoisseurs both living in, and visiting Dubai are able to sample the delights of an array of delectable foods from across the world. I am really looking forward to wooing customers and challenging their current perceptions of modern British cuisine."

Often referred to as 'the chef's chef', Rhodes is world renowned for his tireless attention to detail and unique mastery of the great British classics, which continue to set him apart from the rest. Rhodes Mezzanine adds to the list of 7 stunning restaurants across the worlds, which have won Rhodes a constellation of Michelin stars.

"Gary Rhodes will bring with him the superior standards found in each one of his restaurants," commented Pam Wilby, general manager Grosvenor House. "We believe that Gary's relentless pursuit for perfection and dedication to his art makes him the perfect match for Grosvenor House and we are looking forward to introducing Dubai to exceptional British cuisine with an exciting modern twist!"

"His challenging of the modern attitude towards British food fits perfectly well with the other celebrity chef we have in the two properties. Chef Sandolval at Maya and chef Bathia at Indego all join chef Rhodes in changing people's perceptions and widening our horizons," concluded Wilby.

Rhodes Mezzanine is a visual masterpiece - daring to be different by fusing baroque style furniture with modern lighting, all set to enhance the experience of mouth watering traditional and classical British dishes with an elegant modern flare. Located on the Mezzanine level at Grosvenor House, Rhodes Mezzanine is open to guests from 8pm - 12am, Monday to Saturday.
