Gordon Ramsay Burger is to open its first UK site at Harrods in London's Knightsbridge before the end of the year.

It will be the second location for the chef's gourmet burger restaurant chain, which opened its flagship site at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas back in 2012. 

The concept focuses on 'traditional' burgers served alongside hand-cut crispy fries, ‘secret sauces' and thick milkshakes.

It was reported back in August that Ramsay's ambition to 'create a billion-dollar dining proposition' had been undented by the Covid-19 pandemic, with the chef laying out plans to open 50 new UK sites.

This expansion is expected include a major rollout of his Bread Street Kitchen concept across the UK. 

He has also previously outlined intentions to open a third Street Pizza will open in Southwark this year.

Ramsay's current UK portfolio is concentrated in the capital, and also includes a number of singular, high-end restaurants such as the three Michelin-starred fine-dining flagship Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea; Petrus in Belgravia; and Lucky Cat in Mayfair.

Of his global concepts, a second Hell’s Kitchen is opening in Dubai this year (the first is in Las Vegas); and a Pub and Grill is scheduled to open in Macau this autumn.

A license agreement in France has also been renewed for a further five years.
