Bad-boy UK chef Gordon Ramsay has taken up digs at the Trianon Palace, a newly renovated luxury hotel on the edges of Versailles, (where the Treaty of Versailles was drawn up in 1919, in fact). Ramsay has set up two different restaurants: the high-class Gordon Ramsey au Trianon, which seats 30 and offers a distinct fine-dining experience modeled on Gordon's eponymous, and 3 Michelin starred, London flagship restaurant. The more relaxed (and cheaper) brasserie La Veranda has a wonderful view overlooking the centuries-old trees and lush gardens of Versailles and offers classic dishes from breakfast through to dinner (count 50€ per head, including wine). It's quite a paradox for an Englishman (in fact, he's Scottish), and takes surely, quite some pluck, to come to this bastion of French tradition and luxury and dish up his modern interpretation of French cuisine back to the French. But his clientele are not snobby Parisians - who, as the Figaro food critic François Simon pointed out in his review, probably don't even realise that Versailles is a short taxi or train ride away - but rather the hoardes of British and American tourists who make the pilgrimage to Versailles every day.
Le célèbre chef Gordon Ramsay, plusieurs fois étoilé par le Guide Michelin, a inauguré son premier restaurant en France, au sein du légendaire Trianon Palace à Versailles. Gordon Ramsay, chef passionné et charismatique, élève de Joël Robuchon et de Guy Savoy, fait une arrivée attendue en reprenant la brasserie rebaptisée La Veranda et le restaurant gastronomique Gordon Ramsay au Trianon inspiré de son restaurant londonien 3 étoiles. ‘C'est la première fois que nous proposons un espace brasserie à côté d'un restaurant gastronomique. Cette possibilité d'offrir plusieurs options à nos hôtes est une opportunitétrès excitante'.
