Two New Gordon Ramsay Restaurants Set to Spice Up Cebu
Exciting news for Cebuano gourmands: World-renowned celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay will open two new dining concepts in The Mactan Newtown, a township development located in Lapu-Lapu City. Set against the backdrop of one of Cebu’s premier beach destinations, Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips and Street Burger by Gordon Ramsay—scheduled to launch by the middle of the year—will be the restaurants' first-ever locations in the Philippines and will offer casual, quality-driven menus that reflect Ramsay’s signature flair.
The announcement, which signals the continued growth of the chef’s global restaurant portfolio in Asia, follows the success of Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill Philippines at Newport World Resorts and Ramsay's landmark first visit to Manila earlier this year. This recent expansion brings the total number of Gordon Ramsay restaurant concepts to 124 worldwide (32 in the UK and 92 internationally).

Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips will bring its fast-casual flair and over-the-counter style, serving variations of its signature take on the British classic, alongside crave-worthy Lobster & Shrimp, Dirty Chips, and decadent handcrafted milkshakes. Right next door, Street Burger by Gordon Ramsay is flipping the script on the classic American diner with a bold lineup that includes the much-hyped Idiot Burger, the G.F.C. (Gordon’s Fried Chicken) Burger, and the O.G.R. Burger, along with other fan favorites.
The Mactan Newtown is a 30-hectare beachfront township by Megaworld that blends business, leisure, and residential living into one vibrant community. It is home to two hotels with a combined total of over 1,100 rooms and will soon welcome the Mactan Expo, set to be Cebu’s largest stand-alone convention center. The township also features nine residential towers, eight office towers, the Newtown School of Excellence, and soon, the Mactan World Museum.
“Cebu is a dynamic center of tourism in the Philippines; and our township in Mactan Island is the perfect tourism hub in a prime location near the airport,” says Travellers International Hotel Group, Inc. (TIHGI) Executive Chairman Kevin L. Tan. “The Mactan Newtown is also a vibrant commercial and leisure hub. With the entry of Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips and Street Burger by Gordon Ramsay, we will introduce dynamic dining concepts that will further enhance the township’s appeal, not just for visitors, but also for the growing community who live and work there.”
