River Cree Resort & Casino has just announced that it will be home to Canada’s very first Hell’s Kitchen restaurant, set to open in early 2026.

That’s right!

Chef Gordon Ramsay is bringing the heat, the flair, and that legendary Beef Wellington just minutes from the city.

This major announcement is a delicious milestone for River Cree Resort and Casino, the premier entertainment destination on Enoch Cree Nation just west of Edmonton. Known for its world-class casino, hotel, an event space sized at 24,000 sq. ft.. The Venue hosts concerts, galas, trade shows, and more. River Cree is no stranger to big things.

And this one’s going to be red-hot.

What to Expect at Hell’s Kitchen

Inspired by the hit TV show, Hell’s Kitchen promises a dining experience unlike anything else in Alberta. The high energy, bold flavours, and signature dishes like Ramsay’s Beef Wellington and sticky toffee pudding will likely be on full display.

I had the chance to visit Hell’s Kitchen in Las Vegas, and trust me; the hype is real. The Beef Wellington was perfection, but it was the sticky toffee pudding that truly stole the show (yes, it’s that good, and yes, I’ll be dreaming about it forever).

Ramsay’s Canadian Culinary Footprint

While this is the first-ever Hell’s Kitchen in Canada, it won’t be Ramsay’s first restaurant in the country. He already has Gordon Ramsay Burger and Gordon Ramsay Steak in Coquitlam and Richmond BC. But with the Hell’s Kitchen concept now coming to Albertans won’t have to go out of the province for that foodie moment.
