The Gordon Ramsay Academy has made its international debut in Riyadh.
This new outpost marks Gordon Ramsay's third academy worldwide.
The academy will offer a wide range of culinary courses and diplomas for all skill levels.
Academies are set to open across the Kingdom.
Saudi Arabia’s dining scene has been on a roll lately, attracting some of London’s most celebrated names. The likes of Gymkhana, Zuma, and others have been delighting diners. Now, something a little different has crossed over from the United Kingdom. The Kingdom has welcomed the very first international branch of the Gordon Ramsay Academy.
The Gordon Ramsay Academy has made its international debut in Riyadh. The academy occupies a prime spot at Narjis View Mall. This new outpost marks Gordon Ramsay’s third academy worldwide. Extending across more than 1,000 square metres, the academy combines world-class training facilities with three kitchens, a demonstration kitchen, dining and lounge areas, and purpose-built preparation spaces.
The Riyadh academy will offer a wide range of culinary courses and diplomas for all skill levels. From beginners who’ve never picked up a knife to seasoned cooks, there is something for everyone. Expect hands-on classes covering everything from British classics to Asian favourites, along with dedicated training in bakery and confectionery. There are also classes for the little ones with a movie night.
The move to establish the Gordon Ramsay Academy here comes at a time when Saudi Arabia’s interest in gastronomy is soaring. With more people eager to explore professional cooking, baking, and pâtisserie — and with the growing demand for homegrown talent in the Kingdom — the academy’s arrival feels perfectly timed. Partnering with Saudi Arabia’s education and training leader, Alkhaleej Training and Education, there will also be openings in Jeddah and Al Khobar.
The Gordon Ramsay Academy is backed by Gordon Ramsay himself — one of the world’s most recognisable culinary figures. A renowned restaurateur and TV personality, he has built an empire of restaurants across the globe. From mentoring contestants on MasterChef to publishing bestselling cookbooks, he has earned a reputation within the culinary world and beyond.
The Gordon Ramsay Academy in Saudi Arabia has also welcomed its inaugural students. So, if you’re dreaming of mastering a beef wellington, creating Instagram-worthy desserts, or kickstarting a culinary career, sharpen those knives.
