Based on two of Gordon Ramsay’s most successful concepts: his first and
eponymous London flagship, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay and the most recent
addition to the Ramsay stable, Maze: Gordon Ramsay at The London offers
two distinct dining experiences.
Formal dining, with seating for 45, takes cues from the contemporary
elegance, exquisite cuisine and unparalleled service of Restaurant Gordon
Ramsay on Royal Hospital Road in Chelsea, the only three Michelin starred
restaurant in London.
The London Bar offers a more casual dining and bar experience for up to
70 guests alongside a further 45 seats for guests to drink in the bar.
Modeled on the small-plates concept of Gordon Ramsay’s latest British
restaurant, Maze, The London Bar offers a daily changing menu of market
specials alongside a variety of tasting dishes.
Chef de Cuisine Josh Emett oversees the menus at Gordon Ramsay at The
London whilst Restaurant Director Jean-Baptiste Requien orchestrates the restaurant floor. Previously Head Chef at Angela Hartnett
at The Connaught, Ferguson joined Gordon Ramsay Holdings in 1995 as sous
Chef at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay and has experience working in the kitchens
of a number of three Michelin-starred restaurants including L’Espérance and
L’Arpège in France.
The seven-course Menu Prestige features dishes such as Gordon Ramsay’s
signature Cappuccino of White Beans followed by Lobster ravioli poached in a
lobster bouillon, celery root cream, shellfish vinaigrette and chervil
velouté. À la Carte dishes include Hand Dived Sea Scallops, caramelized with salardaise potatoes, Alsace bacon, vinaigrette of black truffle and herb
salad followed by Striped Bass Fillet, Steamed with fennel purée, fresh
pasta and Oscietra caviar velouté. Desserts include Pain Perdu, poached
custard apples, Griotte cherries, pistachio ice cream and cherry crémeux and
Bitter chocolate cylinder with coffee granité and ginger mousse.
Chef Sommelier Gregory Condes presides over what looks to be one of the
finest cellars in New York. Wines at Gordon Ramsay at the London are
stored in a floor to ceiling custom built Eurocave along the back wall of
the restaurant. These four large glass fronted cabinets hold the wine at
their various required temperatures. There are also a large number of
wines available by the glass.
Internationally acclaimed designer, David Collins, has undertaken the design
and décor of the New York restaurant. David Collins Studio has designed the
restaurant interiors to showcase the best of classic British style and
Manhattan vivacity. Shades of emerald and rich timber panels define the mood
of Gordon Ramsay at The London whereas diners at The London Bar will be able
to enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner, cocktails and traditional English tea
service while seated in patchwork leather furniture in shades of blue and
green.
Within the kitchen is The Chef’s Table: a renowned feature of five of
Gordon’s UK restaurants. At Gordon Ramsay at The London, up to eight guests
are able to experience the pace and drama of the kitchen in full service
whilst enjoying a specially created menu by Neil Ferguson and his team.
