There are GR sightings in many places. He was most recently reportedly spotted at O\u2019Donovan\u2019s Irish Pub in downtown Minneapolis, just a short distance from the Target Center.<\/p>\n<p>GORDON&#8217;S A SMART MAN<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not completely surprised. I think it&#8217;s a smart move! He&#8217;s stopped by our state at a perfect time of year. Minnesota is busy right now. We are back to work, back to school, and the weather couldn&#8217;t be more perfect. I am starting to wonder just how many Minnesota restaurants Gordon Ramsay will visit before he heads home. I say the more the merrier!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diningandcooking.com\/chefs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/WWJOFM.png\" alt=\"98.1 Minnesota's New Country logo\"\/>GORDON RAMSAY VISITS HAVE INCLUDED GREAT LOCATIONS<\/p>\n<p>Ramsay has already reportedly filmed at Lake Cafe in Big Lake, Pizza Factory in North St. Paul and Maggie\u2019s Restaurant in Wayzata. Now O\u2019Donovan\u2019s appears to have joined the list.<\/p>\n<p>According to a recent\u00a0article, there are even more reports of Ramsay making the rounds in Minneapolis. He has reportedly been seen at Vinai, Gai Noi, Spoon &amp; Stable, and Silver Fern Community Cafe.<\/p>\n<p>That is a pretty impressive restaurant tour!<\/p>\n<p>RELATED STORIES BY AUTHOR KELLY CORDESCelebrity Chef Continues His Minnesota Run<\/p>\n<p>We first started hearing about Ramsay\u2019s Minnesota visits when he showed up in Big Lake. Then came the North St. Paul sighting at Pizza Factory. Now we are seeing more and more reports from restaurants across the Twin Cities.<\/p>\n<p>WE STILL DON&#8217;T KNOW WHAT SHOWS ARE BEING FILMED<\/p>\n<p>Of course, nobody seems to know exactly what Ramsay is filming yet. That is the part that has a lot of people curious.<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota has a lot of restaurants, and we have a lot of people who take food seriously. At a time when restaurant owners are dealing with higher costs and customers are watching their spending, having someone with Gordon Ramsay\u2019s name and worldwide audience shine a light on Minnesota restaurants could be a pretty big deal.<\/p>\n<p>I also love that this isn\u2019t just a tour of the biggest, most famous restaurants in Minnesota. Some of the places connected to these reports are neighborhood restaurants and local businesses that Minnesotans already know and love.<\/p>\n<p>For the restaurants involved, having a world-famous chef walk through the door is certainly something you would remember!<\/p>\n<p>For the rest of us, it has turned into a pretty fun guessing game.<\/p>\n<p>Where is Gordon Ramsay going next? At this point, I don\u2019t think we are done finding out. Have you seen him recently in your neighborhood?
