Gordon Ramsay reopens the Savoy Grill

Following a beautiful transformation, Gordon Ramsay Restaurants has reopened the doors to London’s most famous and historic dining room. An elevated menu, breath-taking new bar and sublime new wine experience room are just some of the updates.

Ahead of its 125th anniversary, the iconic Savoy Grill has been reimagined by Gordon Ramsay and the Restaurant Group. This vision has been brought to life by the multi award-winning design studio Afroditi, where Afroditi Krassa and team drew inspiration from the glamorous 1920s Hollywood Regency style, a period characterised by the bold use of color and contrast and sumptuous materials.

The renaissance imbibes a Gatsby era, vibrant and opulent. Deep-red velvet lined booths, blush silk lined walls and the abundance use of metallic and glass accents capture the essence, stylish, yet luxuriously comfortable.

British artisanal production and craftsmanship has been celebrated throughout with several bespoke features such as the handmade feather tiles, the scalloped pewter bar, and the specially commissioned artwork by celebrated fashion illustrator Thom Botwood.

The historic Swarovski chandeliers, Churchill’s favourite clock, as well as the original layout of the tables have been retained in honour of the long history that epitomises the world-renowned Savoy Grill.

Known for being just as likely to draw A-listers as political heavyweights, the Savoy Grill is renowned for its fine cuisine made with the very best, seasonal ingredients. Executive Head Chef Michael Turner has curated a delicious new menu with hero dishes like Louet-Feisser Oysters, sitting alongside Savoy Grill classics including, Lobster thermidor, Duck à l’orange and Gordon Ramsay’s signature Beef Wellington.

The Grill will also serve an Arnold Bennett souffle, a nod to the famous omelette Arnold Bennett. The renowned omelette was invented in the Grill in 1929 in tribute to Bennett, a regular, who at the time was among the world’s best-selling authors.

The ‘very best service’ experience in the Savoy Grill continues to be perfectly choreographed by Restaurant Director, Thierry Tomasin, seamlessly connecting his guests in the dining room with his magical French style.
