Disney simply introduced that Chef Gordon Ramsay is taking his skills to Earl of Sandwich, opening an all-new Nineteen Sixties British-themed gastropub known as The Carnaby on the second stage of the massive new restaurant coming to Disneyland Resort. Listed below are full particulars, recent idea artwork, and extra.
This new location in Downtown Disney, which has already added loads of stellar new eating choices within the final couple of years with extra on the best way, is named Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby. As the placement and identify recommend, this British-themed gastropub comes from the creators of Earl of Sandwich and the extremely embellished, world-famous Chef Gordon Ramsay.
The pub will convey the Brit pop vitality of the swinging ‘60s London, together with a collection of Gordon Ramsay’s iconic and scrumptious British traditional dishes delivers culinary star energy. Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby will likely be situated atop the brand new Earl of Sandwich and is poised to be an awesome gathering spot for vacationers and Californians looking for an eclectic mix of British hospitality and elevated pub favorites.
Friends will step into an area impressed by London’s famed Carnaby Road through the top of the ‘60s cultural revolution. The inside will function plush seating, iconic British pop artwork, and an irresistible soundtrack of “British Invasion” rock bands–all transporting patrons to a groovier, extra glamorous time.
Soak within the sights from two trendy outside terraces, collect on the energetic bar space, or cozy into cubicles, whereas savoring Gordon Ramsay’s globally-renowned delicacies. The menu pays homage to traditional British fare, together with Chef Ramsay’s legendary beef Wellington, crisp and tender fish and chips, and decadent sticky toffee pudding.
To enrich Carnaby’s delicacies, the restaurant will supply a wide-ranging record of wines and beers, in addition to a collection of signature cocktails, every crafted to evoke London’s most iconic pubs and lounges.
“All eyes have been on London within the Nineteen Sixties, a full on incredible technicolour scene of individuals going out and having enjoyable. We’re bringing these cool vibes to Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby,” Chef Ramsay mentioned. “Beautiful interiors, unimaginable meals and nice music, whether or not it’s date evening or dinner with buddies or household, The Carnaby goes to convey the easiest of cool Britannia to Downtown Disney District.”
Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby can even come alive after darkish with stay music on choose evenings. Preserve the night swinging with themed performances carrying the vitality of the ‘60s, making it the proper vacation spot for each dinner and an evening out.
Chef Ramsay’s new location provides to different notable cooks who’ve or could have a presence at Downtown Disney together with Carlos Gaytán of Paseo, Céntrico and Tiendita, and Joe Isidori of the upcoming Arthur & Sons Steak and Bourbon, and Pearl’s Roadside BBQ.
Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby additionally comes at what has been an, ahem, tumultuous few years for Earl of Sandwich at Disneyland Resort. The sandwich store went from being evicted from their signature location for the proposed (however cancelled) luxurious lodge to having two momentary areas.
There was one level earlier this 12 months when Earl of Sandwich appeared poised to lose each momentary areas, as building was slated to start on Porto’s Bakery, however that was delayed–each the closure and building–but once more. All of the whereas, building crews have been engaged on the large two-story Earl of Sandwich location that appears prone to open in 2026 over by Parkside Market (close to the authentic Earl of Sandwich store).
My recap of this saga actually doesn’t do it justice. The turnaround instances on the Earl of Sandwich information have been comically absurd, as if some Disneyland govt has Lord John Montagu, the eleventh Earl of Sandwich, on pace dial and calls him up for pinch hitting sandwich duties each time Downtown Disney has issues with different tenants.
When La Brea Bakery abruptly closed, Earl stepped as much as the plate inside hours. When Porto’s delayed building, Earl instantly prolonged operations. That pop-up pod has ping-ponged between being open and closed primarily based on different operational wants of Disneyland. It’s been amusing to observe this saga.
It’s nice to see Disneyland lastly reciprocate on this relationship, and facilitate the everlasting placement of a formidable sandwich store in Downtown Disney. We’re actually trying ahead to this two-story Earl of Sandwich, which ought to lastly open in 2026.
The brand new Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby and Earl of Sandwich two-story store jogs my memory a little bit of the placement at Disneyland Paris, besides modernized. That’s simply the restaurant at which we’ve dined most at DLP, largely as a result of it’s one of many few eating places on the resort that doesn’t shut at like 4:30 pm.
Just like the Tavern at Disneyland, the Earl of Sandwich location at Disneyland Paris additionally serves (or served, if the present on-line menu is correct) a wide range of non-sandwich choices. We’d count on Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby to equally fill this position, having a extra bold menu befitting of each Chef Ramsay and its standing as a gastropub.
Our solely actual trepidation with that is pricing. We haven’t achieved a standalone overview, however the close by Parkside Market is dear. It’s a beautiful location, particularly the open air second flooring, however the meals is wildly overpriced. And it doesn’t assist that Parkside Market is mainly airport meals.
Parkside Market will not be on par with the opposite new choices like Paseo, Centrico, or Din Tai Fung (everybody’s favourite). All of these are additionally dear, however price it. As a lot as we get pleasure from Din Tai Fung, Centrico might be our sleeper decide as the very best of the bunch and the place we dine most frequently, and it’s not likely that costly.
In the end, our hope is that Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby can match the atmospheric high quality of Parkside Market’s second flooring with the delicacies caliber of Centrico, however whereas bringing one thing distinctive to the desk as a Nineteen Sixties impressed British gastropub. Because the title suggests, this has the potential to be a successful combo, and among the best restaurant ideas in Downtown Disney’s ever-improving eating scene. Once more, we will’t wait!
