Is Gordon Ramsay's restaurant popular in Paris?

Question

I cannot bring myself to believe Parisians would eat food cooked by a British chef

Answer 1

French food critics have almost universally panned the place and damned Chef Ramsey in the most personal, vitriolic terms.

Of course, some of those critcs had damned the restauarant even before it opened which makes their opinion more than a little suspect.

By contrast, several French chefs have said nice things about it including Guy Savoy (Ramsey's mentor) and Jacques and Laurent Pourcel.

Myself, I trust chefs much more than critics when evaluating a restaurant.

EDIT@Gauth...Scots are British. What they aren't is English.

Answer 2

Gordon Ramsay's restaurant is not in Paris, it's in Versailles, so parisians won't have diner there, but mostly tourists would

And the chef in that restaurant is italian not british  

and by the way GR is not british, he is scottish (and i doubt that he still cooks himself nowdays) But everyone agrees he cooks divinely...

Since the best chef of the moment is spanish... why not eat in one of GR restaurants

Answer 3

Parisians can be strange people, but then Paris is full of tourists anyway, so it'll probably be quite busy.

I'm going to Paris in a fortnight and may just check it out.

Answer 4

"British" and "chef" ?- impossible -

  Gordon Ramsay ........- what a strange name ......... would fit for jeans, bourbon or any similar c**p - no excusez-moi but nobody connaît this person in Paris
