Celebrated chef Gordon Ramsay delighted guests at The St. Regis Doha in an exclusive sold-out event last week, as he prepared special dishes and shared stories at his two restaurants Gordon Ramsay Doha and Opal by Gordon Ramsay Doha. Ramsay and his team of chefs led by Michelin Star-holding Head Chef Gilles Bosquet, prepared one sitting of a five-course dinner at Gordon Ramsay Doha, and two sittings of a three-course dinner at Opal by Gordon Ramsay Doha. Both Gordon Ramsay Doha and Opal by Gordon Ramsay Doha are two of the top dining destinations in Qatar. Gordon Ramsay Doha provides a five-star avant-garde dining experience of contemporary European cuisine, while Opal by Gordon Ramsay offers bistro-style dining in a relaxed, social environment. Both restaurants are directed by Michelin-starred Head Chef Gilles Bosquet, who trained under Gordon Ramsay at The Connaught restaurant in London. Guests – including food connoisseurs, local chefs, food bloggers and members of the media – came from all over the Arabian Gulf to meet Ramsay and enjoy specialties that had never before been served in Qatar. The Scottish chef holds eleven Michelin stars, including one of only four Three-Michelin starred restaurants in UK, which is one of the highest awards in the culinary world. Chef Gordon Ramsay said: “I'm delighted that so many food-loving guests from the region were able to attend these dinners, and to have helped to enhance Qatar's culinary scene, which has grown tremendously over the past five years. I am proud of what Chef Gilles and his team have accomplished so far and look forward to the growing success of our two restaurants in Doha.” At Gordon Ramsay Doha, guests dined on European lobster and pear salad, pan-fried sea bass and roasted lamb loin, along with a berry meringue and sorbet for dessert. Ramsay met with all guests in the intimate setting inspired by a classical English manor. — SG
