Gordon Ramsay’s Carnaby Restaurant Opens Today!

Disney just announced that 1960s British gastropub, known as the Carnaby by Chef Gordon Ramsay will soft open tonight in the second-level space above the new Earl of Sandwich restaurant at Disneyland Resort. Here are full details & photos, along with the full menu, operating hours, more.

This new location in Downtown Disney is officially named Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby. It joins several other new food & beverage options to explore on the west end of the Downtown Disney District, including the following:

• The all-new, world’s largest Earl of Sandwich is now open below the Carnaby, serving menu classics including The Original 1762, The Full Montagu and The Holiday Turkey, as well as other freshly baked sandwiches on artisan breads, soups, salads, sides, breakfast items and desserts.  
• Big Boi Lumpia is the newest cart addition in Downtown Disney, where guests can discover Filipino flavors including crispy lumpia with choices of sweet and savory, and refreshing juices.  
• Happy Ice brings their vibrant Philadelphia-style Italian ice to another new cart in the district. These refreshing treats are all-natural and made from scratch with real fruit, pure cane sugar and premium ingredients.

As for Chef Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant, it draws inspiration from the Carnaby Street era during the height of the 1960s cultural revolution. The restaurant blends British culinary tradition with modern technique in a social atmosphere designed to shift from day to night.

The Carnaby features three distinct dining environments, including energetic social dining spaces, more intimate settings for private gatherings and group occasions, and an expansive terrace overlooking the Downtown Disney District, offering a stunning view of the Disneyland fireworks on select nights.

Interior design at the Carnaby continues the Swinging London theme with curated artwork, a statement mural, and design elements inspired by the era, along with a soundtrack of 1960s British Invasion hits.

“All eyes were on London in the 1960s, a full on fantastic technicolour scene of people going out and having fun. We are bringing those cool vibes to Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby,” Chef Ramsay said when the restaurant was initially announced. “Stunning interiors, incredible food and great music, whether it’s date night or dinner with friends or family, The Carnaby is going to bring the very best of cool Britannia to Downtown Disney District.”

Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby will also come alive after dark with live music on select evenings. Keep the evening swinging with themed performances carrying the energy of the ‘60s, making it the perfect destination for both dinner and a night out.

Here’s the full menu for Gordon Ramsay at the Carnaby:

The menu centers on Gordon Ramsay’s approach to elevated comfort cuisine, including his Beef Wellington, Fish & Chips with triple-cooked fries, and Sticky Toffee Pudding, along with reimagined classics like Bangers & Mash and Cottage Pie. Globally influenced dishes include Branzino, Chicken Milanese, and a Chickpea Tikka Masala.

A defining element of the experience is the restaurant’s tableside Prime Rib Cart, where guests can enjoy hand-carved selections served with traditional British accompaniments, including Yorkshire pudding, roasted vegetables, and au jus. This interactive offering anchors the dining room and reinforces the Carnaby’s focus on experience-driven dining. We’ll be testing out this Prime Rib Cart soon–for research, of course!

The beverage program includes cocktails such as the Passionfruit Royale, finished with a fruit sphere, and the Cherry Baby, layered with elderflower, citrus, and botanical elements. A globally sourced wine list and curated beer selection round out the offerings.

The Carnaby accommodates 175 guests and has a vibe that’s conducive for a range of experiences, from regular ole fresh out of the parks daytime dining to sophisticated evenings out. We’d expect this to be a popular spot with attendees of the Anaheim Convention Center, including (especially) the 2026 D23 Expo, which is exactly one month away!

During its soft opening, The Carnaby will serve dinner nightly from 4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., with breakfast and lunch service to be added in the coming months. Reservations are encouraged and can be made via OpenTable, and walk-ins are welcome based upon availability.

We’re really looking forward the Carnaby by Chef Gordon Ramsay.

Our only real hang-up is with pricing. It looks pricey. It’s a lovely location, especially the open air second floor, but $14 for bread, $25 for a burger, $33 for fish & chips, $73 for beef wellington, and ~$15 for sides seems a bit on the high side. Here’s hoping the cuisine quality justifies those price points.

This is about on par with Paseo and Din Tai Fung (everyone’s favorite). Those are also pricey, but worth it. But as much as we enjoy Din Tai Fung and Paseo, Centrico is our sleeper pick as the best of the bunch and where we dine most often; it’s not really that expensive.

Ultimately, our hope is that Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby can match the atmospheric quality of Parkside Market’s second floor with the cuisine caliber of Centrico, but while bringing something unique to the table as a 1960s inspired British gastropub. This has the potential to be a winning combo, and one of the best restaurant concepts in Downtown Disney’s ever-improving dining scene.

Even after this, there are still several additions on the horizon at Downtown Disney, including the following:

• Arthur & Sons Steak and Bourbon, from Michelin-starred Chef Joe Isidori, will be a classic steakhouse serving up prime cuts of beef, fresh seafood, sandwiches and salads, and an impressive selection of bourbon and cocktails with a lively center bar.
• Pearl’s Roadside BBQ, also from Chef Isidori, will be a quick service eatery offering dishes such as pulled pork and beef brisket with house-made sauces, along with craft beers and moonshine cocktails.
• Porto’s Bakery & Cafe, an iconic Southern California destination known for its sweet pastries as well as California-Cuban-inspired dishes, to Downtown Disney. Foodies can look forward to picking up their signature Cheese Rolls, Potato Balls and other favorite goodies from the bakery and cafe, plus this new location will be the first Porto’s with sit-down table service and a full bar.

Construction on Porto’s Bakery is well underway, and the project site is absolutely massive. This one is probably at least still a year away from opening, despite being announced eons ago. For a while, we were convinced that this was going to be cancelled, but that now seems incredibly unlikely. Obviously, there’s less stability in regional restaurants, even hugely popular ones like Porto’s, but the building is being built and it’ll have a tenant one way or another by 2028.

On the other hand, progress on Pearl’s and Arthur & Sons is stalled. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen any movement on this project, and we’ve heard some pretty wild rumors about what could replace it. My assumption is that those are wrong, but that this restaurant actually is in danger of cancellation. Then again, everything I heard about Porto’s was wrong, so who knows. We’ll keep you posted.
