'I tried Gordon Ramsay's first European Hell's Kitchen - here's what it was really like'

Gordon Ramsay has opened his first ever Hell's Kitchen restaurant outside of the US, with a new restaurant in none other than Ibiza, Spain. Whether he's shouting that beef is underdone or garnish isn't ready, the TV chef has some iconic lines from his long-running Hell's Kitchen series.

But while chefs might be feeling the heat inside the kitchen, the restaurant experience at Gordon's newest location wasn't short of luxury. Serving up signature dishes such as the Beef Wellington and scallops, alongside new European offerings such as a mouthwatering short rib and chorizo croquette, the food doesn't disappoint.

While it's not something I've seen on the show, Hell's Kitchen Ibiza offers a Basque style blueberry and blackberry cheesecake, which was a surprising highlight of the meal for me.

Based inside the newly refurbished Unexpected Hotel, which was previously known as Ushuaia Beach Hotel, the restaurant has the iconic HK walkway as you enter and serves up special edition Pharrell Williams Moet champagne and cocktails.

The restaurant is the newest to join the Unexpected Hotel, and is amongst others such as the Oyster and Caviar Bar, Minami Japanese Restaurant, rooftop bar Up Ibiza Sky Society and The Beach - where the breakfast buffet includes champagne and freshly made burritos.

Gordon has several Hell's Kitchen locations across the US, including in Las Vegas and Washington D.C, where his iconic show of the same name has been filmed. Beginning in 2005, the restaurants serves as sets for aspiring chefs to learn from Gordon and eventually win a place working for him.

You may not find Gordon shouting at his chefs if you book in for a dinner at the new Ibiza location, but there will be plenty of unexpected twists going on throughout the five-star hotel - including fortune tellers in the lobby, DJs in bedrooms and dancers abseiling down the poolside buildings.

While the hotel's bedrooms are fitted out with everything you could imagine needing, including face masks, a 'maxi bar' containing snacks, drinks and large bottles of spirits, and a huge bathtub on the balcony. If you're booking the presidential suite, which I imagine Gordon will be booking out for his visits to the White Isle, there are DJ decks in living room area, alongside a sprawling patio-style balcony.

Across the road from the lively hotel is iconic open-air Ibiza superclub Ushuaia, where I headed across to after my six-course Hell's Kitchen meal to dance off the lashings of food consumed at Gordon's newest spot.

Whether you want to try some of Gordon's classics or you're just looking for a spirited stay in Ibiza, the Unexpected Hotel will certainly do both.
