Gaston Savina’s Ambitious Plans
“Since MasterChef, I’ve always dreamed of opening a little restaurant in London… and gosh, it’s happening,” said Gaston Savina, a finalist on MasterChef: The Professionals 2024. His dream is now becoming a reality as he prepares to open a new restaurant in the former site of Cépage in London’s Notting Hill.
Savina, who moved to London in 2014 and launched his private cheffing business in 2017, has been a prominent figure in the culinary scene since his appearance on the show. His journey has inspired many aspiring chefs, and his upcoming restaurant is highly anticipated by food enthusiasts.
Anthony Ghiglieri’s Culinary Journey
Another notable participant from the show is Anthony Ghiglieri, who reached the quarter-finals of MasterChef: The Professionals. At just 27 years old, Ghiglieri currently serves as a Sous Chef at Upstairs by Tom Shepherd. His talent was recognized by the judges, including Matt Tebbutt, who remarked, “You’ve made it really gutsy and I really like that.”
Ghiglieri’s culinary skills have also been praised by Marcus Wareing, who noted, “I love that Mediterranean feel about your dish with the tomatoes and the asparagus. Your lamb is lovely, beautifully cooked.” These endorsements highlight Ghiglieri’s potential in the competitive culinary landscape.
Gordon Ramsay’s New Venture
In addition to Savina and Ghiglieri, renowned chef Gordon Ramsay is making headlines with his plans to open a new restaurant at The Mere in Cheshire. This establishment, named Gordon Ramsay at The Mere, is part of a multi-million-pound refurbishment and expansion of the venue.
Ramsay Restaurants is also gearing up for a significant milestone, preparing to open its 100th restaurant globally in May 2026. This ambitious expansion reflects Ramsay’s enduring influence in the culinary world and his commitment to delivering exceptional dining experiences.
Looking Ahead
As these chefs embark on their new ventures, the culinary scene in London and beyond is set to evolve. With Savina’s restaurant opening soon and Ramsay’s expansion plans, food lovers can expect exciting developments in the coming months. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact opening dates and menu offerings, but the anticipation continues to build around these talented chefs and their contributions to the industry.
