Gordon Ramsay Culinary Academy to Open in Riyadh by End of 2025

Saudi foodies, sharpen your knives. By the end of 2025, Riyadh will welcome the first-ever Gordon Ramsay Culinary Academy in the Kingdom — a brand-new chapter for the British superstar chef and his world-famous kitchen school.

The academy is setting up at VIA Riyadh. Here, Ramsay’s culinary playground will mix high-gloss hospitality with hands-on cooking — a space where amateurs and professionals alike can roll up their sleeves and master everything from knife skills to signature soufflés.

Expect a menu of chef training programs, accredited courses, and snappy masterclasses for curious home cooks. Whether you’re chasing a career in the kitchen or just want to elevate your dinner-party game, the Riyadh branch promises to dish up internationally recognised qualifications alongside quick-hit workshops in global cuisines and techniques.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Gordon Ramsay without the right stage: the school will feature state-of-the-art teaching kitchens designed to mirror the energy and precision of Ramsay’s flagship UK academy. Think cutting-edge facilities, professional-grade setups, and a curriculum that balances rigor with the thrill of creativity.
