Wolfgang Puck Restaurants Key Takeaways:

  • Wolfgang Puck operates 100+ restaurants and outlets globally as of 2025.
  • Core brands include Spago, CUT, and Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill in fine and casual dining.
  • His name appears in airports, hotels, and resorts via licensed venues and partnerships.
  • The Wolfgang Puck Express and Kitchen + Bar brands account for most casual locations.
  • Puck also runs a major event catering division, serving elite venues and award shows.

Wolfgang Puck is a celebrity chef-turned-restaurateur whose name graces dozens of eateries worldwide. 

Today his empire spans over 100 restaurants on multiple continents. These range from flagship fine-dining destinations to casual café outlets and even catered events. Puck’s operations are organized under three companies – Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group, Wolfgang Puck Catering, and Wolfgang Puck Worldwide – reflecting this breadth. 

In sum, his brand portfolio includes roughly 20 core restaurants (e.g. Spago, CUT, Bar & Grill) and scores of licensed ventures (airport cafés, hotel cafés, grocery store outposts, etc.). 

Below we summarize them in a table, then break down the key concepts and locations in Puck’s restaurant network.

The table below summarizes the current restaurant brands under the Wolfgang Puck banner, their general type, and the approximate number of outlets in operation:

Each number above reflects current venues as of 2025. (Note that Wolfgang Puck Express and Kitchen + Bar outlets are not listed in this table but collectively account for dozens more locations at airports and casual settings.)

Fine-Dining Concepts

Wolfgang Puck built his reputation on upscale California-inspired cuisine, and several fine-dining brands still bear his signature. 

Chief among these is Spago, Puck’s pioneering restaurant. Spago (now based in Beverly Hills) has blossomed into a small international chain. 

Contemporary Spago locations serve innovative Californian fare (from wood-oven pizzas to seasonal tasting menus) and can be found in roughly seven cities worldwide. Notably: Beverly Hills Spago, Maui, Bodrum (Turkey), Budapest, Istanbul, Las Vegas (Bellagio), Singapore, and a Riyadh location.

Another cornerstone is CUT, a sleek steakhouse concept. Launched at the Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire, CUT has grown into about six or seven venues (Beverly Hills, Las Vegas, London, New York, Singapore, Washington D.C., Bahrain) serving high-end steaks and seafood.

Other one-off upscale eateries round out the portfolio. For example, Chinois on Main (Santa Monica) offers Pan-Asian fusion in a stylish setting (it opened 1983), and Merois (West Hollywood) is a chic rooftop bar-restaurant with ocean views. 

There’s also re/Asian Cuisine, a modern Asian-fusion fine-dining spot that opened in the Four Seasons Bahrain Bay, and CARAMÁ, a cocktail lounge/nightclub at Mandalay Bay (Las Vegas). 

Each of these concepts currently counts only one location, but together they reinforce the global reach of Puck’s fine dining group.

Casual, Café and On-the-Go Outlets

Beyond the white-tablecloth venues, the Wolfgang Puck name also appears on a variety of more casual eateries and grab‑and‑go counters. 

For example, Wolfgang Puck Express is a chain of fast-casual airport cafés serving salad, pizza, sandwiches, and Puck’s signature dishes (truffle fries, tuna tartare, etc.). Though an exact count isn’t published, Puck’s licensing agreements cover dozens of airports and travel hubs worldwide. 

Similarly, Wolfgang Puck Kitchen + Bar outlets have appeared at resorts and hotels – such as Shanghai Disneyland and the Amway Grand (Grand Rapids) – offering a lively bar-and-grill atmosphere.

In shopping and hospitality venues, you’ll also find one-off concepts like the Wolfgang Puck Restaurant & Café in Nagoya (Japan) and the Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill at Disney Springs.

He even extends into event catering: Wolfgang Puck Catering serves banquets, corporate functions, and large events (the company holds catering contracts at venues like L.A. Live and the Newseum in Washington). 

In short, Puck’s network isn’t just sit-down restaurants – it includes quick-service shops in airports, cafes in resorts, and off-premise catering.

International Reach and Partnerships

Puck’s restaurants have a truly global footprint. Fine-dining and casual venues can be found across North America (e.g. Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Orlando, Montreal), Asia (Singapore, Istanbul, Dubai, Bali, Bangkok), Europe (London, Budapest, Istanbul), and the Middle East (Riyadh, Bahrain). 

As Wolfgang Puck’s own site notes, “Fine Dining restaurants can be found in Las Vegas, Beverly Hills, Maui, London, New York, Singapore, Budapest, Istanbul, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia”
– illustrating the geographic breadth. 

His brand also partners with major hotel and entertainment groups: for example, CUT in Bahrain is inside a Four Seasons hotel, Spago Las Vegas is at the Bellagio (MGM Resorts), and Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill was developed with Disney at Disney Springs.

In 2022 he even opened his first Austrian restaurant at Vienna Airport (a Wolfgang Puck Kitchen + Bar) in partnership with SSP, underscoring his global franchise reach.

In many cases, Puck’s venues tie into travel and hospitality networks. He has restaurants in luxury hotels (Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills, InterContinental Hong Kong, Kempinski Dubai, Ritz-Carlton Maui, Pendry West Hollywood, etc.), in casinos (MGM Grand Las Vegas, Wynn/Encore), and in major airports (Vienna, LAX, DFW, BOS, DEL, BLR, HKG, etc.). 

He’s even explored cruise partnerships, health-care dining (cafés in hospitals), and supermarket meal counters. All told, the partnerships amplify his portfolio – for example, over 100 locations bear his name worldwide, from flagship Spagos to airport eateries.
