Bonapartes

Michelin-starred chef Gordon Ramsay is back with his trademark mix of tough talking and inspirational leadership.Irrepressible and irresistible, Gordon has a well-earned reputation for offering a radical approach to fixing failing restaurants, taking viewers to the heart of the harsh reality of running a business, forging cast-iron recipes for success and offering the owners the chance of redemption, even in the most unpromising situations.This time around, Gordon explores new territory by visiting some of Europe's holiday hotspots and meeting Brits abroad struggling with restaurants in crisis.At first, it's off to Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol, and Mayfair – a restaurant in a prime location on the busy seafront that should be raking it in, but is almost empty. Next up is Capbreton, a popular coastal town in south-west France, where Tim and Debbie are struggling with their three-year-old restaurant, Le Deck. In the white-washed mountain village of Gaucin, half an hour from the Costa del Sol, a brand new upmarket restaurant is already heading for disaster. And finally, Gordon visits a family-run restaurant on the Costa Blanca that's losing 3,000 euros a week.Whether it's lazy chefs, filthy kitchens or crackpot business ideas, Gordon wastes no time in cutting to the chase.
