Gordon Ramsay Burger Expands South Korean Presence With New Busan Location

Michelin-star chef Gordon Ramsay expands his upscale burger empire in South Korea, debuting his second location in Busan. The grand opening follows the successful March launch in Gangnam, marking the continued international growth of the Gordon Ramsay Burger brand.

The Gordon Ramsay Burger has been opening stores around the world, and it has recently landed in South Korea. In March, the first outlet in the country was inaugurated in the posh local city of Gangnam.

Now the restaurant company revealed it is bringing its high-end brand to other parts of the country, and Busan has been picked as the next location. Officials of the Gordon Ramsay Burger said on Wednesday, June 28, that they are set to launch the burger store this week.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the outlet was built inside the Shinsegae Centum City Department Store, and those who are eagerly waiting to taste Gordon Ramsay's gourmet burgers and other items can already visit the Busan branch today.

Diners will enjoy various kinds of premium burgers, beverages, salads, and other menus. The new store can accommodate a total of 100 guests at a time. Visitors can expect to spend a lot on the restaurant as prices are quite steep.

It was mentioned that a single burger typically costs KRW 30,000 or about $22.93. The Korea Bizwire mentioned that one of the popular burger items is Ramsay's 1966 burger which is priced at KRW140,000, and this is only offered in South Korea, so customers can expect some local ingredients in the burger to suit the palate of the citizens. Moreover, this burger has a double Hanwoo beef patty; thus, the price is higher than the others.

Meanwhile, Gordon Ramsay Burger in Busan is the latest foreign restaurant chain to open a new store in the country. Five Guys just launched its first location this week, and with this, Korea has become the sixth country in Asia to have the store.
