Gordon Ramsay is taking his talents to South Beach; the celebrity chef, known for his reality show “Hell’s Kitchen,” signed a lease for a restaurant in the South-of-Fifth neighborhood, The Real Deal has learned. He will be opening a Lucky Cat restaurant at the Yukon building, at 119 Washington Avenue, according to sources.

Lucky Cat is taking a 9,000-square-foot space, listing broker Cyril Bijaoui of The Company Real Estate confirmed. The space was asking about $75 per square foot, triple-net. Sara Wolfe of Koniver Stern Group represented the tenant.

The restaurant will feature an open kitchen, raw bar, private dining rooms, a chef’s table, and a late-night lounge, according to a press release. It’s expected to open in the fall of next year.

Ramsay has a number of restaurants in the U.S., including in Las Vegas, Orlando and Atlantic City, but this marks the first in South Florida. The original Lucky Cat, an Asian-inspired restaurant, opened in London in 2019.
