Gordon Ramsay may have achieved celebrity of a more mundane variety through his televised exploits, but to the world's fussiest gourmets he has long been a celebrated proponent of culinary perfectionism. His self-titled restaurant in London is the only three-starred Michelin eatery in the city, which is not to suggest that those are the only stars he has accrued in his illustrious career. As formidable as three stars are, he has gone on to earn five additional Michelin stars for his efforts.

| Although this master chef has now opened restaurants across the world, his first foray outside of the United Kingdom was in Dubai. A city widely recognized for its prestigious fine dining and general attitude of excellence in all things, it was perhaps the natural place for Chef Ramsay to expand his base of exceptional eateries. |

Since opening in 2001, Verre has garnered almost as much praise as his flagship eatery in London. Located on the first floor of the rather arresting modern Hilton Dubai Creek luxury hotel, those who find themselves enveloped in the characteristically chic, modern interior will be summarily transported to world of fine food, great wine and no distractions.

| While the menus are filled with Ramsay delights, both loved and new, the daily task of bringing them to life is the charge of Executive Chef Matt Pickop. Like many of those who have donned their aprons and sharpened their knives in the kitchen of Verre, Chef Pickop is destined for great things. |

| Realizing the contemporary European fare to Chef Ramsay's exacting standards, diners are in for a treat par none. This is painstakingly prepared cuisine of the most gilded realm, food which is consistently exceptional and the main reason that Verre has garnered so many awards. Verre by Gordon Ramsay is the restaurant which has raised the bar for all Dubai's fine dining establishments. |

Diners who are familiar with the delights of any Gordon Ramsay eatery might head straight for their favorite bite on the a la carte menu.
As with the other menus, you're likely to find more than a few signature dishes, although the kitchen's strict ethic of sourcing only the finest produce, both locally and internationally, means that certain dishes change according to season and the availability of the perfect ingredients.
But those who are excepting the magical delights of the pan-fried halibut, line-caught no less, served with the now legendary lobster and herb risotto and finished off with a shellfish reduction, baby leeks and lobster velouté, might just find it waiting for them. |

|
| The Menu Prestige is a tantalizing option. To hope find yourself experiencing the unfolding treasures you'll be know that it is a menu true to its name. From the bursting freshness of Vine Tomato Minestrone with Basil Pesto to such delectable offerings as Roasted Sea Scallops served with Caper and Raisin Dressing, Cauliflower Purée and a Port and Red Wine reduction, flavor, freshness and inspired vision are apparent with every mouthful. The Mango Parfait and Raspberry Sorbet with Chocolate Tuile and Lime Foam might just spoil you forever. |
|
| No longer is fine dining the preserve of ravenous carnivores. Vegetarians are testing the culinary talents of chefs far and wide. Verre is at the forefront of delicious dishes for all discerning vegetarians who desire great food and refuse simply to pick at a salad while carnivorous companions move boldly in to the second and third courses. More than simply food for those who don't eat meat, the Tagliatelle of Forest Mushrooms, Parmesan and Italian Rocket is one of Chef Ramsay's most celebrated dishes of any sort. |
