The new suburban Chicago restaurant owned by Gordon Ramsay will officially open next week.
The second Ramsay’s Kitchen restaurant to open in the Chicago area, the newest location in downtown Naperville is scheduled to open on Tuesday.
According to a newly released statement, the restaurant will feature an “all-day dining menu” that celebrates the celebrity chef’s “most inspired, talked about, and favorite dishes from his esteemed culinary career and travels.” The menu will also provide “a glimpse into Ramsay’s personal kitchen.” Menu things incorporate things like a roast beef sandwich, crispy skin salmon, Ramsay’s signature beef wellington and more.
“Bringing Ramsay’s Kitchen to Naperville allows us to share some of my favorite dishes from my career and highlight cuisines from my travels around the world with locals and visitors of the area,” Ramsay said in a statement. “The restaurant’s team and I are also thrilled to immerse ourselves in the warmth of the Midwest. Great food brings people together, and we can’t wait to welcome guests into the restaurant and become part of this great community.”
The restaurant expects to offer a “casually elegant and approachable atmosphere,” with seating for in excess of 160 guests all at once inside the 5,656-square-foot space, which incorporates a bar and lounge, a seasonal patio and more.
Diners will have a front-row seat to all the action and ingredients thanks to the open-concept kitchen, which is “at the heart of the room.”
The design is intended to be a pairing of the history of Naperville and Ramsay’s British heritage.
Prior to becoming a restaurant space, the area was involved by Oswald Pharmacy from 1930 to 1980.
“The bar’s custom millwork will reference the apothecary store formerly in the space, introducing modern details while retaining the artful character, and local vernacular, including the original limestone wall made from the abandoned quarry, now Centennial Beach,” according to Ramsay’s team.
In December 2021, Ramsay opened Gordon Ramsay Burger in Chicago. He also plans to open Hell’s Kitchen, a new concept, in Chicago. The restaurant, which is inspired by the Fox TV series with a similar name, will be situated at 508 N. State St.
