There is only space in the restaurant for 12 dinersGordon Ramsay is seen opening a 12-seater exclusive restaurant in his new Netflix series – but how much does it actually cost to eat there?
The TV chef’s new show, Being Gordon Ramsay, follows him on his biggest venture to date.
Gordon has acquired the top section of the iconic 22 Bishopsgate in central London and he has plans for five separate entries there.
The most extravagant is Restaurant Gordon Ramsay High, which sits a staggering 60 stories up in the air.
Diners can expect a three Michelin star tasting menu while seated among just 11 other customers. And the views are incredible.
But how much does it cost to eat at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay High? And what can you expect for your money?
Gordon Ramsay on Netflix: What is Gordon Ramsay High?
Gordon says in his Netflix show that Restaurant Gordon Ramsay High (RGR High) is a “12 seater unique dining experience”.
Diners can expect a Chef’s Table experience, with the open kitchen located right behind where they are seated.
Gordon explains: “RGR High is a unique space. Guests get to witness what it’s like up close and personal with a chef. And that intimacy takes a completely different beast to deliver.
“The job might look easy. ’12 covers, come one, this is..’ No, it’s not.”
He adds: “This is an open kitchen. We aren’t depending on a group of waiters. RGR High is about delivering perfection each and every night. Serving 12 customers only.”
How much does it cost to eat at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay High?
There is a sample menu on the RGRH website, with a set price of £250 per person.
For that, diners can expect 7 individual dishes. The sample menu features plates of Imperial gold caviar, 14-day aged farm duck and twice-baked cheese soufflé.
Other tasters include turbot, scallops and a cheese and onion Parker House roll. There’s champagne sorbet and a chocolate orange dessert to finish.
But what do customers actually think?
RGRH opened last summer and the reviews have been great. One happy customer wrote on Top Table: “Incredible. Expensive but worth it the view was next level.”
Another added: “What an outstanding menu! The culinary team did an amazing job preparing our tasting menu. The food was amazing and creative.”
However, someone else said: “This is a restaurant that is banking on you enjoying being ‘high up’. The views are… disappointing in that you can see Tower Bridge and that’s about it.
“Granted we went at night so it was dark and unfortunately the windows steamed up off and on throughout the meal so what you did see was through a ‘fog’. But the food was superb.”
