Gordon Ramsay keeps a low profile as he jets into Melbourne Airport ahead of his restaurant pop-up
Gordon Ramsay was spotted this week flying into Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport before he was due to bring his famous Michelin-starred restaurant to Australia.
The celebrity chef, 56, kept a low profile as he landed, carrying a backpack and quickly making his way through the terminal, escorted by a staffer.
Gordon kept it businesslike in a black T-shirt and jeans after the long-haul flight.
A fan saw Gordon at the airport and posted a picture they took of him Reddit.
The ticketed restaurant, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, will take over Aria, head chef from Australian chef Matt Moran, in the heart of Sydney from May 8-10, showcasing the “very best Australian seasonal produce.”

Despite the cost-of-living crisis hanging over Australia, top chef Gordon brings his three-Michelin-starred restaurant Down Under for nearly $800 per person.
Tickets for the once-in-a-lifetime experience cost $495 per person, which includes a seven-course meal, with a premium wine pairing option for $295, bringing the total to $790 per person.
An Aria spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia that the staggering price has been set because this is the first time the high-end restaurant has ventured internationally and the menu has been personally curated by Ramsay and Moran.

The menu features restaurant Gordon Ramsay’s signature dishes, including shellfish raviolo and pecan dessert.
Word of the event quickly spread on social media, with guests raving about the outrageous prize.
At first, many seemed excited to visit and bring a friend, but were turned away after seeing the cost.
“For almost $500 per person, the food should be amazing,” one woman commented on Facebook.
“$800 each?” another asked, a third joked: ‘If you take out a home loan, you can buy an entrance!’

“I hope it’s an improvement. Aria is extremely overrated,” added another.
Others said they would only be tempted to pay and go if Ramsay made a guest appearance for the duration of the three-day event.
“I’d love to sit at the chef’s table with Aria if Gordon Ramsay was on the pass,” one woman wrote.
Ramsay said: ‘Working with my good friend Matt Moran, and talented chef, Matt Abé at Aria, with its stunning views over Sydney Harbour, to create a menu that uses Australia’s incredible local produce whilst retaining the finesse of our 3-star Michelin delivers menu is a dream come true.’
Moran added: “What an absolute honor to have Restaurant Gordon Ramsay do their first residency outside of London with Aria.
‘Gordon is one of my best friends and Abé cooked with me in the Aria kitchen for five years before moving to London where he solidified his position as one of the best chefs in the world.
‘These three evenings will be a real highlight in Aria’s 23 years of existence; I can not wait.’
