Gordon Ramsay Arriving in Australia and Confirms Melbourne Restaurant Opening

Author: Gordon Ramsay Unofficial Fansite // Category: Gordon Ramsay in Person

Gordon Ramsay arrives in Melbourne Thursday for the start of his extensive Australian culinary tour. In interviews conducted days prior Gordon Ramsay has confirmed that his ‘Maze’ restaurant, will still be opening at the Crown Casino complex next year and he will be checking on progress while completing his duties at the local Good Food and Wine festival this weekend.

Despite Gordon Ramsay’s admission of tough economic times severely hitting his restaurant empire, Gordon Ramsay Holding, and the forced sell-off of several overseas ventures, it seems that Maze will still be going ahead> It will be following Gordon’s Ramsay’s mantra of featuring local produce including Australian Seafood. In extensive interview with the Herald Sun Newspaper Gordon Ramsay was quoted as saying;

“It’s a tremendously exciting project for me where I’ll be among some of the best and most creative chefs in the world – Tetsuya, Matt Moran, Neil Perry and Shannon Bennett. “And bugger me, I’ll be in Melbourne, the food capital of Australia. What a place to open.”

Gordon Ramsay also stated in the same interview;

“Australia is home to some of the most spectacular produce in the world,” and that “seafood is in abundance, which is refreshing in comparison to some of the problems we’re having in the UK.”

The full interview can be seen at Gordon Ramsay opening new restaurant.
