Defining Dishes
Beef Wellington
The dish made iconic by Chef Ramsay. Melt-in-your-mouth beef wrapped in mushroom duxelles and golden puff pastry, and finished with red wine demi-glace. Taste the star of every service, straight from the show to your table.
Pan-seared Scallops
The only thing raw on this plate is the culinary talent. Fresh from Hell’s Kitchen’s hall of infamy, savor the scallops that have inspired a sizzle-reel of TV meltdowns. Seared to golden perfection, this dish steals the limelight night after night.
Lobster Risotto
An on-screen staple that's more than earned its place on the menu. Rich, velvet-smooth rice loaded with sweet, butter-soft lobster and crowned with a snowfall of aged Parmesan. There's no half-measures here.
Sticky Toffee Pudding
A sticky date pudding of devilish indulgence, drowned in bubbling toffee sauce and finished with a scoop of vanilla ice cream so decadent it feels a little sinful. Try the dessert that’s on the hit list of sweet-toothed foodies worldwide.
Crispy Skin Salmon
Skin so crisp it turns heads, a fillet so fresh you can almost hear the ocean's waves. Resting on a bed of beluga lentils with a shaved fennel salad and drizzled in rich beurre blanc, this is the healthier option that feels naughtier than a juicy sirloin.
Wagyu Meatballs
The meatballs to ruin all other meatballs, in a red sauce that rivals any family recipe. These tender morsels arrive bathing in slow-roasted tomato marinara, topped with crispy polenta croutons and a flurry of aged Parmesan.
