If you asked chef Gordon Ramsay what is one dish he’d eat before shuffling off this mortal coil, he’d choose beef Wellington. “Beef Wellington has to be the ultimate indulgence, it’s one of my all-time favorite main courses and it would definitely be on my last supper menu,” Ramsay says on his website.
That’s some big energy for a dish, and you can indulge in its glory for yourself at Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen, the celebrity chef’s first Las Vegas restaurant (he now has six total across the Strip). The design of the fine-dining restaurant, opened in 2018 and still going strong, is mirrored after his hit Fox TV show Hell’s Kitchen, with blue and red kitchens serving as the focal point. With floor-to-ceiling windows and a luxurious bar area, the restaurant has long been booked out for weeks since opening its doors—a testament to the popularity of the British chef’s culinary mastery.
You’ll find the famous beef Wellington dish on the menu, a must-try if you’ve never had it before. The cut of beef, pictured, is cooked medium rare, wrapped in puff pastry with a layer of mushroom duxelles (a French technique that turns the chopped mushrooms into a rich paste with shallots and herbs mixed in) and plated with a divinely smooth and creamy potato purée and glazed root vegetables with a red wine demi-glace topping. Signature dishes continue with Ramsay’s famous dessert, sticky toffee pudding, a memorable dish made with a sweet cake topped with toffee sauce and a scoop of rich brown butter gelato. One bite and you’ll be hooked!
Venture around the rest of the menu to try other delicious creations like the jidori chicken, roasted branzino, braised short ribs, oven-roasted octopus and the simple yet mouthwatering endive, pear and apple salad with a piquant white balsamic vinaigrette. Special note: Hell’s Kitchen is vegan-friendly, so ask your server for options.
You’ll find specialty, handcrafted cocktails aplenty here, but try a day one sip, the Notes From Gordon, a mix of No. 3 London dry gin, green tea, lemongrass, peach, lemon and a little cheeky message from Ramsay written on a piece of paper attached to the cocktail.
