Ramsay picks Melbourne

Gordon Ramsay reckons he will open his first Australian restaurant in Melbourne.

“I’d like to open here,” he told Sydney journos. “But I don’t think you open in Sydney before opening in Melbourne.

“Melbourne is like New York. It has that culture of foodies that are finicky, hard-ass and very possessive about their city.

“Sydney’s a lot more relaxed. A lot more cosmopolitan and flashier.”

He said he had already identified two or three potential sites for his restaurant in Melbourne. There have been conflicting reports about Gordo opening a restaurant at Crown Casino. The location is closely aligned with the Nine Network, but previous reports suggested there were no vacancies there either.

Meanwhile, Ramsay hinted his newest address would be open within the next 18 months and he will appoint a local chef to run it on a daily basis.

“It’s about the chef. That’s the fundamental key ingredient. I’d be stupid not to employ a local Aussie,” he said.

Ramsay said there were significant differences in food style between the two cities and “you only have to look at the wine lists in terms of who orders what and the integrity that goes into it.”

  1. ‘mydoona’….. Really, where do you eat out?? Considering the quality of produce available in Australia the average restaurant serves CRAP.
    Competition breeds winners.
    Bring him here and with any luck people can stop chopping the tall poppy and maybe learn something…

  2. AWESOME! Welcome to Melbourne Gordy!

    mydoona….. You’re a fool! And what a ridiculous unsubstantiated load of garbage your post is.

    fangera, couldn’t agree more!

    mydoona, you musn’t eat well and visit grotty, disgusting crumby restaurants often?

  3. Yeah I agree fangerA101 why can’t Gordon have a few restaurants in and as for fast food joints there are 5 maccas in a 10 kilometer radius of where I live

  4. IF MacDonalds, KFC and all those fake food places can have 1000’s of stores world wide then I can’t see why this guy can have a few around as well, its a damn site better than that fast food crap.

  5. Gordon…Please go away!
    You don’t need another restaurant especially in Australia.
    Why not concentrate on the 25 you already have. Someone should do a ‘kitchen Nightmares’ on one of YOUR restaurants,I’m sure they all can’t be up to scratch.He probably couldn’t even name them all.He’s SO just in it for the money and being a ‘celebrity’ now and has lost his passion for cooking.
