Cebu's Gordon Ramsay: Value for Money Evaluation?
Gordon Ramsay's Street Burger and Fish & Chips in Cebu: A Luxury Dining Experience
Gordon Ramsay's Street Burger and Fish & Chips, located in the upscale Mactan Newtown township in Cebu, Philippines, have been making waves in the Asian dining scene since their opening on July 26. These restaurants, the first of their kind in Southeast Asia for Street Burger and all of Asia for Fish & Chips, are not generally considered overpriced in the region.
The prices at both establishments range from ₱500 to ₱1,200 (about USD 9-22) per burger. The classic burger at Street Burger is priced at ₱549, while the double-patty version costs ₱1,199. At Fish & Chips, the Alaskan Pollock, paired with Avocado Cream sauce, and the locally inspired Lechon Burger are among the most affordable items on the menu.
Food critics and reviews have praised the quality and unique flavors offered at both restaurants, justifying the cost. The Alaskan Pollock with Avocado Cream sauce at Fish & Chips, for instance, is highly recommended. At Street Burger, Hell's Kitchen, Gordon Ramsay's signature dish on a fast-food burger, is a must-try.
The placement of these restaurants in Mactan Newtown, a luxury resort township, aligns with these price points, making them seem sensible rather than overpriced for the market and dining experience. While these prices may be higher than typical street food or fast food in Asia, they reflect a premium brand experience in a high-end setting.
However, opinions on the pricing of Fish & Chips have been divided, with some finding it overpriced. This debate, centred around the perceived value of the food compared to what one might cook at home, highlights the subjective nature of pricing in the dining industry.
Despite this, both Gordon Ramsay's Street Burger and Fish & Chips are viewed as a sensible luxury dining option offering specialty dishes and brand prestige. In fact, for Gordon Ramsay super fans, the pricing at Fish & Chips is worth every peso.
Mactan Newtown is also the host of the IRONMAN 70.3 Philippines on Aug. 10, with Megaworld as the event presenter. This high-profile event further cements Mactan Newtown's position as a luxury beach resort township.
With both restaurants in a 30-day opening sprint, it's an exciting time for food enthusiasts in Cebu and beyond. The Lechon Burger, exclusive to Cebu and combining local flavors with Gordon Ramsay's cooking style, is just one of the many unique offerings that diners can look forward to.
