All Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares Restaurants That Are Still Open Today
The UK version of Kitchen Nightmares, titled Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, has featured significantly fewer restaurants and boasts a less favorable success rate. This is likely in part because the show hasn’t filmed a new season in ten years, meaning restaurants will need to have really stood the test of time to remain open to this day.
Of the 27 restaurants featured in the show’s run from 2004-2014, only these four are still open in 2024.
