Gordon Ramsay Is Charging A Whopping $470 For His New Year's Eve Menu

It’s perhaps no secret that Gordon Ramsay is one of the most famous chefs on the planet. As well as working with a host of notable names and opening his own chain of restaurants, Gordon’s time in his own TV shows has seen him earn a host of new fans.

Sadly, many have been left scratching their heads after learning Gordon Ramsay is charging a whopping $470 for his New Year’s Eve menu. While many want to know what it’s like to eat a meal cooked by one of the top chefs in the world, others are struggling to see how the chef can justify the cost.

People will receive a host of options for Gordon Ramsay’s $470 meal

Ever want to know what the rich and famous do for New Year’s Eve? It seems many want to head to eat at one of Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants, with plenty of people looking to recreate the magic for themselves. Still, many are less than impressed that Gordon’s New Year’s Eve menu costs a staggering £400 (approximately $470) per person. Still, they do get to choose from some delicious meals for that price. Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea, London, comes with a sample menu that’s filled with things like peanut praline parfait, roast veal sweetbread, and Dover sole cardinal. On the other end of things, people can choose from dishes such as Orkney scallops and duck tea.

Adding drinks will add hundreds of dollars to the bill

One of the main reasons that people are so surprised by Gordon Ramsay charging a whopping $470 for his New Year’s Eve menu is one fact alone: it doesn’t include drinks. If you want to have something sweet to wash down your meal, you’ll need to find another £275 (approximately $325.) All in all, it could set diners back almost $800 per person just for one night on the town. Still, there might be a slightly cheaper option, as Gordon’s restaurant Pétrus, is offering up a New Year’s Eve menu that comes in £100 (approximately $120,) taking the night’s total to £300 (approximately $355) per person instead. 

Gordon Ramsay has already been in trouble for his high prices

The cost of things, including food, is something that’s got people talking in recent months. It’s also why Gordon Ramsay got in so much trouble with several fans last year, as the chef advertised a portion of fish and chips - for £31.50 (approximately $37.) Gordon announced the dish on social media as it was added to the menu at his The River Restaurant in London. Plenty were quick to take to the comments to talk all about the high prices and how most people living across the nation would never be able to afford such a meal. Still, that didn’t stop plenty from defending Gordon, claiming that people might be better off skipping the restaurant if they were unhappy with the prices.

Gordon Ramsay is charging a whopping $470 for his New Year’s Eve menu, and it appears that most people are less than impressed with the news. Still, that hasn’t stopped plenty from making reservations in the Michelin-star joint, with plenty keen to get a taste of what money can buy.
