“It has long been an ambition of mine to open a restaurant in Shanghai, and it was always about the perfect time and the perfect location. I’m delighted to be partnering with Harrods on The Residence, a truly exclusive and exciting opportunity where we will be bringing a very special and thoughtfully curated menu of British cuisine to the members and their guests, later this year,” said Gordon Ramsay.
