Spanish Restaurants

Overview

Gordon Ramsay highlights Spanish restaurants, pitting the Hart brothers' Fino in Fitzrovia, central London, against Notting Hill's El Pirata Detapas, which can serve up to 600 dishes in one service. The fare on offer includes squid wrapped in pancetta, stuffed courgette flowers and Iberian pork cheeks with foie gras. The first four semi-finalists also face further scrutiny as the chef sends in his secret collaborators to assess the dining experiences they provide, before making a personal appearance with chef Angela Hartnett and critic Simon Davis.
