Gordon Ramsay at The Residence Shanghai is also the celebrity chef's first restaurant inside a private club.
on a gray and drizzly day last February, he dispelled the slightest signs of drowsiness with his fiery personality and a generous dose of cool Britannia.“It’s a tough one, that one, isn’t it? Because I’m a chef of the people, and it’s my first intimate private club in my portfolio of restaurants,” Ramsay says.The 48-seat restaurant sits on the second floor of The Cha House, a century-old terracotta mansion that lives at the heart of the busy Chinese metropolis.
Ramsay’s work with Harrods goes back to when he opened his burger joint in the luxury department store more than four years ago, so partnering up with the retailer again was a no-brainer., bringing Ramsay to Shanghai was not only “a real coup,” but a move that helps convey an actual Harrods experience on the other side of the world.
“We see The Residence as a way of communicating to our customers in market,” the executive says. “And if you look at what the big luxury brands are, they’re following their customers into the market and this is exactly what Harrods is doing. The Residence plans to eventually recruit 250 members. This group of like-minded people — the connectors, the intellectuals, the entrepreneurs — will not only be able to sip on the best wines and spirits served by master blenders, but also enjoy bespoke benefits such as a curated wine cellar and special offers from Halcyon Gallery Shanghai, a Harrods partner.
