Ramsay's Restaurant 1890 to open at The Savoy

Gordon Ramsay's Restaurant 1890 will be opening at The Savoy, London, on 23 February. 

1890 marks the year Georges Auguste Escoffier joined The Savoy and began his outstanding contribution to global culinary standards. Ramsay's Restaurant 1890 celebrates Escoffier's culinary achievements whilst offering an exclusive, contemporary fine dining experience. 

The intimate space will hold 26 covers and will only be open for dinner service. On the restaurant concept, Ramsays says: "[It] creates a blend between unparalleled service, culinary creativity and exquisite wines. 

"The tasting menu is seasonal modern French with European influences, prepared with great flair under the very talented executive head chef James Sharp and our hand-picked team.

"It's the third gastronomic jewel operated by our restaurant group at The Savoy and we're incredibly excited to offer this new experience."

Sharp has most recently been cooking as senior sous chef at Ramsay's Michelin-starred Pétrus, having joined the group in 2015 at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Royal Hospital Road. 

Using the finest globally-sourced ingredients, Restaurant 1890 complements the existing Gordon Ramsay restaurants at The Savoy, including the Savoy Grill, which was taken over by Ramsay in 2003, and the recently opened fish- and seafood-focused River Restaurant.

Sharp describes 1890 as offering an exclusive kitchen table experience, but in a restaurant setting: “It’s always been a dream of mine to run an intimate tasting menu restaurant in such a beautiful location.”
