High profile chef Gordon Ramsay is opening a second restaurant in France in partnership with Financiere Immobiliere Bordelaise (FIB) at the Grand Hôtel de Bordeaux & Spa in Bordeaux.
The new restaurant will extend the Ramsay group’s partnership with corporate real estate and hospitality group FIB, which is the owner of The Waldorf Astoria Trianon Palace in Versailles where Ramsay has operated a two Michelin-starred restaurant for the past seven years.
The five-star hotel in Bordeaux will serve dishes made from seasonal ingredients from the region matched with local wines.
Ramsay said: “I’m thrilled we are opening our second restaurant in France, following on from the two Michelin-starred Gordon Ramsay au Trianon in Versailles. To open a restaurant in the wine capital of France with its world-class vineyards and glorious regional produce is extremely exciting. The Grand Hôtel De Bordeaux and Spa has an incredible history dating back to 18th century and we are really looking forward to working with the hotel team at this incredible listed property in the heart of the City’s golden triangle.”
Michel Ohayon, chief executive of FIB and owner of the Grand Hôtel de Bordeaux & Spa said: “The Pressoir d’Argent has always been a jewel in the historical Grand Hôtel de Bordeaux & Spa’s crown. It is an honour to work with Gordon Ramsay Group and the new Bordeaux restaurant provides FIB in France with two gastronomic centres of excellence. Gordon Ramsay’s arrival in Bordeaux is the cause of much excitement here.”
Gordon Ramsay Group has a total of 25 restaurants globally and 7 Michelin stars, with international restaurants from Europe to the US, the Middle East and Asia.
