The Restaurant is a British reality television series which is based on the Australian television show My Restaurant Rules, where a group of couples competes for the chance to set up a restaurant financially backed and personally supported by French chef Raymond Blanc. The winning couple was given their own restaurant to run. For the winners of the first series, the prize restaurant was in Oxfordshire, near Blanc's own Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons. For the second series, it was in Marlow, Buckinghamshire.

The first series aired on BBC Two on 29 August 2007 and a second series aired on 10 September 2008. The first series also had a spin-off, The Restaurant: You're Fried! (a play on The Apprentice: You're Fired!) which aired on BBC Three after the main programme; it did not return for either of the subsequent series. The third and final series was broadcast on 29 October 2009.

In the US, the show was retitled Last Restaurant Standing by BBC America. The first series aired in spring 2008, the second in spring 2009, and the third in winter 2010.

In July 2010, the BBC announced that the show has officially ended.
