Ramsay has been listed several times among the world’s most Michelin-starred chefs and is a well-known, admired and respected figure in the UK (he received the Order of the British Empire in 2006). A few years earlier, in 2001, he was awarded 3 stars at his flagship restaurant: Restaurant Gordon Ramsay.
The chef runs more than 30 restaurants of all kinds: from fine dining to burger joints or casual pizza and fish and chip establishments. Most of them are located in the UK, but some are also in Europe or on the other side of the world. In the past few years, several of his restaurants have closed, thus losing their Michelin stars. Before the pandemic, he had 14 stars and was the third most awarded chef in the world in this sense. As of June 2022, Gordon Ramsay is the eighth most awarded chef in the world. Gordon Ramsay’s Michelin-starred restaurants
Restaurant Gordon Ramsay is perhaps the chef’s most cherished project. It was his first solo restaurant. The restaurant opened in 1998 and has maintained its quality and reputation. Located in London, on Royal Hospital Road, the restaurant was awarded three Michelin stars in 2001. Now run by Matt Abé, the elegant restaurant has a formal dress code and serves French cuisine with a British twist.
Le Pressoir d’Argent, at Le Grand Hôtel in Bordeaux, is a charming, classically designed restaurant in Bordeaux, France. The restaurant’s unique name comes from the Christofle lobster press where the dish is prepared. Bordeaux and Aquitaine cuisine (from the southwest of France) are the absolute stars of such a romantic setting. This charming Bordeaux spot offers attentive and impeccable service.
Gordon Ramsay at Trianon, in Versailles, has 1 Michelin star. Since 2016, the restaurant has been run by Frédéric Larquemin and is located inside the Waldorf Astoria Versailles, Trianon Palace. Naturally, this sophisticated and welcoming restaurant also serves French cuisine in a historical and interesting setting. There are two spaces: a formal one and a more relaxed one, but the whole concept is extremely elegant. The restaurant serves a business lunch or a relaxing dinner with equal diligence.
Pétrus, in London, has 1 Michelin star and is one of Gordon Ramsay’s professional gems. Of all the restaurants mentioned above, this one probably has the most special atmosphere and decoration. The name of this restaurant is a reference to the famous Bordeaux wine. Again, like the others, the cuisine here is French in origin. Like Au Trianon, the Chef’s Table Experience was introduced to share the dining experience closer to the chefs themselves and their creations. Another feature is that the vegetarian options are of the same quality as the general menu, which is available at most restaurants.
