Restaurant Gordon Ramsay

Restaurant Gordon Ramsay has held its corner of Royal Hospital Road in Chelsea since the late 1990s, and it remains the chef's flagship and one of the longest-standing three-MICHELIN-star dining rooms in the country. The room is deliberately small: a calm, light space of around forty covers dressed in soft lilac and grey, with a sculptural ceiling light and full-length windows onto the street. Kim Ratcharoen leads the kitchen, cooking a modern French menu built on classical technique.

For a private occasion the whole restaurant is available on exclusive hire, seating up to 44 guests or receiving up to 70 for a standing reception. It suits a landmark celebration, a wedding, or a seated dinner where the cooking is the reason people are in the room. A dedicated events team handles menus and planning.

At the heart of the restaurant sits the Inspiration Table, a four-seat chef's table set against a panel of the kitchen's signature gilded hearts. It is the closest a guest gets to the pass of a three-star kitchen, and the most intimate way to take the restaurant privately.
