Gordon Ramsay Launches Two New Casual Dining Concepts in Cebu

Gordon Ramsay Launches Two New Casual Dining Concepts in Cebu

Lapu‑Lapu City, Cebu – July 2025 – British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is set to amplify his presence in the Philippines with the opening of two new restaurant brands in The Mactan Newtown township — Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips and Street Burger by Gordon Ramsay — expected to debut by mid‑2025.

The announcement follows the successful launch of Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill Philippines at Newport World Resorts in Metro Manila in late 2024, and the chef’s landmark first visit to the Philippines in early 2025.

Casual Dining with a Global Flair

• Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips will deliver a fast‑casual, over‑the‑counter experience featuring Ramsay’s reinterpretations of the British classic. Diners can expect signature fish and chips alongside indulgent options like Lobster & Shrimp, Dirty Chips loaded with toppings, and rich, handcrafted milkshakes.

• Street Burger by Gordon Ramsay, located side‑by‑side, offers an American diner–inspired menu featuring bold entries such as the Idiot Burger, G.F.C. (Gordon’s Fried Chicken) Burger, and O.G.R. Burger, among other fan favorites.

The dual venture marks the first time Ramsay has introduced these two brands in the Philippines and underscores his broader strategy to bring approachable yet high‑quality global dining experiences to Southeast Asia.

Strategic Location at Mactan Newtown

The restaurants will be situated in Mactan Newtown, a 30-hectare mixed‑use beachfront development by Megaworld Corporation in Lapu‑Lapu City. The township boasts two hotels with over 1,100 rooms, several residential and office towers, the Newtown School of Excellence, and soon, the Mactan Expo—the largest standalone convention center in Cebu—as well as the upcoming Mactan World Museum.

In announcing the opening, Kevin L. Tan, Executive Chairman of Travellers International Hotel Group Inc. (TIHGI), highlighted Cebu’s appeal as a growing tourism hub and emphasized the proximity to the Mactan–Cebu International Airport as a strategic advantage. He stated that the new Ramsay brands will “further enhance the township’s appeal, not just for visitors, but also for the growing community who live and work there”.

A Growing Culinary Footprint in the Philippines

Ramsay’s decision to expand in Cebu comes after a surge in bookings at his Manila outlet—with over 10,000 reservations in its first month of operations—demonstrating strong local interest in his brand. During his Manila visit, he also teased plans for further expansion in the Philippines, potentially including a high‑profile concept such as Hell’s Kitchen.

As his Filipino portfolio continues to expand, Ramsay is balancing stellar culinary credentials—including multiple Michelin stars—with accessible, casual formats tailored for local and international diners alike.

What to Expect

Opening Timeline: The two outlets are expected to open by mid‑2025, likely between June and July.

Dining Style & Offerings: Expect fast‑casual, flavor‑forward menus: Fish & Chips serves British comfort food with a twist; Street Burger brings bold, inventive burgers to Cebu.

Why It Matters: Positioned within a fast‑growing leisure‑tourism zone, these restaurants signal Ramsay’s confidence in Cebu’s rising profile on the global gastronomic map.
