Gordon Ramsay, Nobu Matsuhisa or Wolfgang Puck at your home? Why celebrity chefs are opening restaurants in luxury residences

Dani Garcia, Wolfgang Puck and MasterChef Italia winner Giorgio Locatelli are just a few of the chefs opening restaurants in residences overseen by Four Seasons, Edition Hotels, Dubai’s Atlantis and more
Deprived of their usual opportunities to dine out this year, foodies the world over took to their home kitchens in droves.
According to Erin van Tuil, partner at Knight Frank Australia, the opportunity to dine in-house with an internationally celebrated culinary great is a huge drawcard in the eyes of the discerning property buyer.

“Offering globally renowned chefs and world-class restaurants within luxury residences creates a level of exclusivity for purchasers that cannot be found elsewhere,” she explains. “Access to distinguished chefs and restaurants at one’s home address provides not only convenience, but quality entertainment for family and business associates without stepping outside the building.”
Van Tuil adds that, when speaking to purchasers of these homes, the culinary offering is a highly attractive selling point.
“Residents are often able to request priority bookings to restaurants or order dishes to their homes through the concierge service,” she said. “Purchasers seeking this level of serviced living and direct access to amenities are prepared to pay the premium attached.”

To help find these epicurean experiences, Knight Frank has compiled a list of the world’s best residential buildings with Michelin-starred resident chefs.
