Move over Jamie! Now Gordon Ramsay announces he’s opening a Hong Kong restaurant
Gordon Ramsay to open branch of London restaurant Bread Street Kitchen in Central two months after Jamie's Italian launches in Causeway Bay
Two of Britain’s best known celebrity chefs will compete for the attention of Hong Kong diners after Gordon Ramsay announced that he will open a restaurant in the city – hot on the heels of television rival Jamie Oliver.
Rumours that 47-year-old Hell’s Kitchen star Ramsay was bringing his London establishment Bread Street Kitchen to the city were confirmed yesterday after weeks of speculation, with a September opening slated for the Lan Kwai Fong branch.
Located in the Hotel LKF by Rhombus on Wyndham Street, the restaurant will serve "British European" food, with dishes from its London counterpart.
“This is an exciting step for the group, not only to be entering the Asian market which has such an amazing food culture but also to bring one of our concepts which has proved such a success in London,” Ramsay said.
Ramsay’s television rival Oliver revealed in March his plan to open a branch of his Jamie's Italian chain in Causeway Bay next month.
