Gordon Ramsay’s Liverpool restaurant Bread Street Kitchen & Bar has opened and it looks like customers are in for a treat.
It was announced late last year that the celebrity chef was to open a restaurant in the city centre and now the wait is over.
Gordon’s new premises opened in the same venue where rival chef Jamie Oliver had his ‘Jamie’s Italian’ restaurant until it closed back in 2019 after nearly a decade in the city.
