Gordon Ramsay, a well-known chef and restaurateur, has officially opened Hell’s Kitchen Miami. As Ramsay’s first business in South Florida, the eatery, which was inspired by his distinctive dishes from his popular culinary competition TV series Hell’s Kitchen, had its grand opening on Saturday, September 23.

The eatery is situated at 333 Biscayne Boulevard Way in the Met Square Complex in downtown Miami, which is a part of the Metropolitan Miami mixed-use complex. It is on the north bank of the Miami River. The property has 188 luxurious apartments, a museum honoring the Tequesta tribe, a hotel, a Silverspot Cinema, and more than 40,000 square feet of retail and dining space.

The enormous, two-story Hell’s Kitchen restaurant is spacious with a patio, terrace, open kitchen, two bars, two chef’s tables, and numerous private dining rooms on the main floor.

The open kitchen, which was intended to be the restaurant’s center point and features a combination of dramatic lighting and slick, white marble counters, will attract those who enjoy watching the line. Through a dedicated observation area located above the kitchen, even customers seated on the second level will be able to observe the cooks in action.

Along with Miami-exclusive dishes like steamed mussels with Spanish chorizo in a tomato saffron broth and churros served with cinnamon sugar, Mexican chocolate sauce, and dulce de leche ice cream, the Hell’s Kitchen menu will feature Ramsay’s signature classics, including his beef Wellington, crispy skin salmon, and sticky toffee pudding.

The Miami Hell’s Kitchen dining room’s open kitchen was intended to be the room’s focal point. A three-course prix-fixe menu including carefully chosen wine pairings that emphasize fan favorites is available to diners. There are vegetarian and vegan versions available, such as a vegan tomato saffron risotto and pan-seared tofu “scallops.”

Expect to discover both traditional and specialty drinks at the bar, including the inventive “Smoke on the Water” from the restaurant, which is served in a smoke-filled lantern. The “Notes from Gordon,” a drink that comes with a personalized note from Ramsay, is recommended.

Ramsay and Lion Capital signed a contract in 2019 to take his restaurant concepts nationwide. Currently, the company operates over a dozen eateries, including Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips, Gordon Ramsay Burger, Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza, and Gordon Ramsay Steak, in cities including Boston, Orlando, Baltimore, and Kansas City in addition to Las Vegas and Chicago.

In a statement recently released from Gordon Ramsay’s company, Ramsay will establish a Hell’s Kitchen branch in downtown Miami in late 2022. It will be the third Hell’s Kitchen establishment, after those in Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe. Two more locations, in Chicago and Washington, D.C., are also on the way.

The Miami location will be just as big and just as iconic as its other locations. The site itself will be located at the Metropolitan Miami Development which lies just north of the river in Brickell.

The space spreads out 16,000+ square feet over two floors, there will be a ground-floor patio and a second-floor dining terrace. Like its counterparts, there will be an open kitchen, bar, and signature fire depictions throughout the restaurant.

The menu will include the show favorites but with a Miami twist. Think oysters, shrimp cocktails, and seared scallops featuring Cuban and South American spices and classics. Other foods like beef Wellington, chicken scallopini, meatballs, and foie gras will also be on the menu.

You will know what you pay for with the fixed-price options that range from $75 to $85.

Ramsay himself stated, “I’m so excited to bring [the restaurant] to Miami. With its impressive food scene, Art Deco architecture, and amazing people, they really know how to bring on the heat, and I know Hell’s Kitchen will feel right at home.”

Gordon Ramsay is a British chef, tv personality, and restaurateur. He founded Gordon Ramsay Restaurants in 1997 and has been awarded 16 Michelin stars overall and currently holding 7. He began Hell’s Kitchen in 2004 and it received national recognition in 2005. Ramsay is known for his incredible skills, fiery attitude, bluntness, and his excessive use of profanity.

Hell’s Kitchen Miami will open in the fall of 2022. Aria Group and Architecture will be in charge of the design of this location.
