The most anticipated dining experience in Asia, Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill in Sunway City Kuala Lumpur is opening its doors at Sunway Resort this month – becoming the iconic chef’s inaugural restaurant in Malaysia, and the first Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill outside the UK. This landmark launch also represents the culmination of a once-in-a-generation transformation of Sunway Resort.
The restaurant blends Gordon Ramsay’s British heritage with the grace and grandeur of Sunway Resort. A series of intimate spaces include a trio of private dining rooms – 8 Mayfair, 10 Soho and 12 Chelsea – a grand dining room with semi-private seating booths and a glittering cocktail bar with floor-to-ceiling windows, seating up to 150 guests at a time.
The interior design features robust furnishings with a rich red and forest green colour scheme accentuated by polished walnut hardwood flooring, brass finishes, 24 karat gold leaf hand-placed ceiling and more. Monochrome portraits of British style icons by celebrated photographers Terry O’Neill and Arthur Steel feature The Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger, the original 007 Sir Sean Connery, supermodels Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy, line the walls of the main dining room.
The exquisite menu, inspired by one of London’s most iconic restaurants, Savoy Grill, showcases only the finest ingredients presented with culinary flair from the highly-skilled, Gordon Ramsay-trained team. Diners can look forward to savouring prime cuts of meat dry-aged in-house and Chef Ramsay’s most desirable dishes, such as his ‘Classic Beef Wellington’, served tableside, the ‘Spiced Beef Tartare with Egg Yolk Confit’, his must-try ‘Arnold Bennett Twice-baked Cheese Soufflé with Mornay Sauce’, the ‘Dover Sole with Grenobloise capers sauce’ and more. For guests looking to wind down in the evenings, take a seat at our bar and sip on concoctions from a masterly crafted menu of classic favourites, cocktails with Malaysian-inspired flavours and a host of premium wines and spirits. Adjacent to the cocktail bar, a dedicated wine cellar showcases an extensive global wine list for wine enthusiasts and a private room welcomes intimate evenings for tastings, social gatherings and more.
“This is a very exciting and momentous occasion for us. The opening of Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill at Sunway Resort marks the start of a new era of international epicurean excellence in Malaysia. It also represents the culmination of our once-in-a-generation transformation to enhance every aspect of Sunway Resort as we embark on a bold drive to seal our position as Asia’s leading fully-integrated premier hospitality and entertainment destination,” said Alex Castaldi, senior general manager, Sunway City Kuala Lumpur Hotels.
Gordon Ramsay added, “I am delighted to finally introduce the stunning Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill at Sunway Resort, Malaysia. This is a concept that was born in London and exudes the British sophistication created out of its original Mayfair setting, however, we always wanted to introduce Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill to an international setting once we had found the perfect partners and the perfect location. Malaysia is a wonderful country with a rich heritage and an exciting future, and I am confident that local guests and international visitors will have an exceptional dining experience in our beautiful new restaurant.”
