- The venue for tonight's fourth programme is La Riviera, a fine dining restaurant in Inverness. Owned by multi-millionaire BARRY LARSON and costing £8000 a week to run, the place boasts top French chef LOIC LEFEBVRE and an impeccably-trained kitchen staff with Michelin star-studded backgrounds. Loic is on a mission, to bring sophisticated French cooking to the home of haggis, tatties and deep-fried Mars bars. But though he's hungry for success he's French, he's arrogant and the food's pretentious. The locals aren't biting and the restaurant's empty most nights. There's a sharp smell of déjà vu in the air for Gordon whose own venture in Scotland - Amaryllis - had to close. This week it's personal as Ramsay tries to save La Riviera from the same fate. Can Gordon tone down their act, demystify the menu and, most importantly, get the punters in?—Anonymous
- Welcome to La Riviera in Inverness. Multi-Millionaire Barry Larson has established a fine dining restaurant in hope of getting the Scots to convert from their deep-fried mars bar to fancy french cuisine... but alas...
Gordon had a restaurant in his home town in Scotland that he was forced to close not too long ago, he therefore tries to help Barry in avoiding to make some of the same mistakes that he once did...
This restaurant has pretentious food, no marked research on what the local really want, steep prices, in other words head chef Loic Lefebre is french, well trained, young, extremely stubborn and arrogant and does not compromise...
The kitchen is stocked with the finest produce, meat & poultry...
Gordon tries to teach Loic a lesson; after numerous attempts to make him realise that what he's doing is wrong, he invites a food scout to come incognito to test Loic's food compared to Gordon's...
Not surprisingly the critic says the exact same thing as Gordon has the last half hour... Loic is NOT happy and feels set up...
Gordon has a plan for change ...
Enjoy!
