Here’s a look at the coolest things about this bar and grill, and why it is a certified hit. 

Multi-Michelin Chef Gordon Ramsay

You know him as the brutal chef on TV who harshly criticizes the dishes of aspiring chefs, but that’s to teach them, of course. Chef Gordon Ramsay hails from Britain. He is not just a chef and restaurateur, but a celebrity who has made a name for himself. He was first seen in the British television miniseries titled “Boiling Point” in 1999, then appeared eventually on shows such as “Hell’s Kitchen,” “Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares,” “The F Word,” “MasterChef,” “MasterChef Junior,” and so much more. The junior and kids cooks are hearing her profanities, too? You get the picture. 

“Hello, Manila! It’s me, your favorite Chef Gordon. Can’t wait to see you soon at the first-ever Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill in the Philippines!” the chef said in a video message on the official Instagram page of the restaurant.

Gordon Ramsay’s Restaurant Chain

It was in 1997 when Chef Gordon Ramsay founded his very first restaurant group, Gordon Ramsay Restaurants. He has several restaurants worldwide, but among the most famous are the Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in London – his signature restaurant – and his Hell’s Kitchen restaurant at Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip. 

Now, he’s venturing in the Philippines in the hopes that his Filipino fans can try his recipes and to introduce his food to the rest of the country.

Since its launch on August 31st, his first bar and grill here has caught the attention of Filipino influencers, such as YouTuber Cathrena Chen. 

“We really had super high expectations because it’s the Gordon Ramsay we’re talking about. Their menu is simple, not a lot of choices. For sure, we would come back to try their other dishes,” Chen said in her YouTube video.
