Internationally renowned chef Gordon Ramsay has announced the official opening of his latest restaurant, Ramsay's Kitchen by Gordon Ramsay, in St. Louis. Inspired by Chef Ramsay's travels abroad, the Ramsay's Kitchen concept takes guests on a global culinary journey. The restaurant will be located at the Four Seasons St. Louis hotel.
"St. Louis is an incredible foodie destination, with its own vibrant Midwest flavours and influences," said Ramsay.
"I'm delighted to open Ramsay's Kitchen at Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis, a stunning restaurant with amazing views of the Gateway Arch and famed Mississippi River. It really is the perfect location for family celebrations, date nights and breaking bread with friends."
Located on the hotel's eighth floor, Ramsay's Kitchen St. Louis offers a breathtaking backdrop of the iconic Gateway Arch and the mighty Mississippi River. With a capacity to accommodate more than 250 guests, the restaurant's spacious layout includes a bar and lounge, the main dining room with a seasonal patio, two private dining rooms and the outdoor RK Bar, providing a perfect setting for a memorable dining experience.
Celebrating Chef Ramsay's renowned dishes and introducing new favourites, Ramsay's Kitchen will offer an elevated yet approachable menu. Guests can enjoy signature entrees such as Chef Ramsay's legendary Beef Wellington, delectable Crispy Skin Salmon, crispy Fish and Chips, and mouthwatering Pan Seared Scallops. Starters include his buttery Parker Rolls, Tuna Tartare, Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, and his unique twist on a local fan favourite, STL Style Ribs. The dessert menu features British classics such as Chef's signature Sticky Toffee Pudding and Strawberry Eton Mess, as well as new takes on timeless confections like Chocolate Tart and Vanilla Mascarpone Cheesecake.
"The Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis team is thrilled to welcome Chef Ramsay to St. Louis and excited for both locals and hotel guests to enjoy his internationally inspired menu," said Alper Oztok, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis.
"Reflecting Chef Ramsay's relentless pursuit of excellence, this restaurant offers elevated cuisine in a sophisticated setting. It is a fantastic addition to the hotel, bringing fresh creativity and innovation that further heightens the overall guest experience."
Designed by California-based architecture and interior design firm AO, the restaurant decor features a warm colour palette of navy blue, sienna, and cream enhanced by rich furnishings, creating a cozy and intimate setting. The design elements evoke the warmth and effortless sophistication of Gordon Ramsay's cooking style, along with his bold persona. At the same time, it will pay homage to the local culture and landscape with design finishes native to the region. There is also a strong focus on elements that reflect the surrounding rivers, such as in the custom carpeting and bespoke artwork.
Just inside the restaurant entrance is the stylish lounge, with leather stools lining the marble bar and a relaxed seating area designed to spark conversation, creating a clubby ambience. The curated bar menu features creative handcrafted cocktails, such as the frothy and feminine One Last Kiss and the sophisticated and zesty Spiced Pear, as well as a comprehensive wine list and a selection of bar bites.
A floor-to-ceiling glass wine case divides the bar area from the dining room, where soft leather banquets and chairs are complemented by smoked glass mirrors and bronze metal accents. On the back wall, commissioned artwork combines the Gordon Ramsay monogram with a representation of the confluence of rivers that is distinctive to St. Louis.
