A guide to Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants in London

He might have a somewhat ‘angry’ reputation but we know that many of you have a soft-spot for the world-famous chef, Gordon Ramsay. And even if you’re not a fan of the man, we’re fairly certain you’ll be a fan of his food. His restaurant portfolio in London is undeniably impressive but how many have you ticked off your list? In this definitive guide to Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants you’ll find everything you need to know to conquer the celebrity chef’s ever-burgeoning empire in the capital.

Gordon Ramsay is a British chef, restauranteur, writer, television personality and food critic. Born and bred in Scotland, Ramsay rose from humble beginnings and up against some testing family circumstances. A keen sportsman, he channelled his early ambition towards a football career where he showed promising potential. After a brief debut with football team Rangers, a knee injury forced Ramsay to reconsider his sporting dreams. Quickly turning his attention to another interest – food – Ramsay enrolled in Tech College and never looked back. Rising his way up through the ranks of many a hotel and restaurant kitchen, he’s worked under some of the biggest names in the business; Marco Pierre White, Albert Roux, Guy Savoy and Joel Robuchon to name just a few. Now possessor of an OBE for his services to the industry, Ramsay is currently the holder of seven Michelin stars worldwide and over the years his restaurants have been awarded 16 Michelin stars in total.

The world-renowned chef currently operates a grand total of 15 dining concepts in London, two of which hold Michelin stars. And the restaurants aren’t just surviving, they’re positively thriving. Gordon Ramsay Holdings made headlines in 2018 when it announced profits of £500,000, bucking the industry trend of restaurant closures.

The restaurants range from fancy fine-dining hotspots to casual low-key eateries. So whatever your budget and whatever your style there’s sure to be somewhere that appeals.

Gordon Ramsay restaurants London: where to find them

Whether you're in the mood for fine dining or a casual meal, Gordon Ramsay's restaurant portfolio will have something for you. The crucial details of what you’ll find and where you’ll find it are all below, so get stuck in.

Lucky Cat, Mayfair

What: Lucky Cat is one of the latest in Ramsay’s London portfolio, situated in Mayfair’s shiny Grosvenor Square with interiors that draw inspiration from the drinking dens of 1930s Tokyo. The menu comprises Asian-style small plates and dishes from a robata grill, but it’s the restaurant’s huge bar and nightclubby vibe that draws in its glitzy clientele.
Where: 10 Grosvenor Square, W1K 6JP

Pétrus, Belgravia

What: As you would expect from a Belgravia institution, Pétrus presents a no-expense-spared menu of elegant and luxurious Michelin-starred dishes. The food has a modern European leaning – diners can expect the likes of turbot served with smoked potato, coastal herbs, leek and a seaweed beurre blanc or Devonshire duck with fennel, bitter orange and a spiced jus.
Where: 1 Kinnerton Street, SW1X 8EA

The Savoy Grill, Covent Garden

What: Everything about The Savoy Grill oozes old-school glamour, from the plush furnishings to the glittering chandeliers. Although the menu has a distinct Ramsay style it also pays its dues to The Savoy's culinary heritage featuring omelette Arnold Bennett and Peach Melba – both of which were reportedly invented here. Other favourites include Gordon’s signature beef wellington served with crêpes suzette that are theatrically flambéed at the table.
Where: Aldwych, WC2R 0EU

Maze Grill Park Walk, Chelsea

What: This casual venue still has a stylish feel to it, making it perfect for special occasions that don’t break the bank. Inspired by the grill rooms of Manhattan, you’ll find numerous cuts of rare-breed beef on the menu cooked to your exact requests and served on heavy wooden boards, as well as a selection of immaculately presented sushi and sashimi platters. Alongside the food, Maze Grill boasts an extensive wine list and the slick service makes it popular hit with the Chelsea crowd.

Maze Grill Royal Hospital Road, Chelsea

What: Much like its Park Walk counterpart, Maze Grill Royal Hospital Road serves a menu of rare-breed steaks as well as fish and poultry dishes hot off the grill.

The Narrow, Limehouse

What: This modern British riverside restaurant takes the form of a gastropub with a menu of refined pub classics. The Narrow’s friendly low-key atmosphere and affordable crowd-pleasing food make it a popular destination for families with the added bonus of a free kids menu for children under the age of 12 designed by Gordon’s daughter Tilly. The outside terrace is a particularly popular spot for Sunday lunch when the weather’s nice.
Where: 44 Narrow Street, E14 8DP

Heddon Street Kitchen, Mayfair

Popular eat-in choices include the classic short-rib beef burger, as well as smaller sharing dishes like the salt and pepper Sichuan squid; burrata with black truffle, almonds and toasted focaccia; and chicken wings with tamarind sauce.
Where: Airside, Terminal 5 Heathrow Airport, TW6 2GA

York & Albany, Regent’s Park

For those looking for a more upmarket offering the restaurant menu includes dishes such as pan fried scallops with corn puree and Alsace bacon jam; braised ox cheek with parsnip puree and vegetable crisps; and sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream.

Bread Street Kitchen, One New Change
