Family Restaurant: The Quons

The Family Restaurant—the world’s favourite culinary docu-sitcom—is back for a sizzling third season (10x30 minutes) with a whole new family! Dig into the dim sum, because it's time to turn up the heat in the kitchen with The Quons!

The Lingnan is more than a Chinese restaurant—it's an institution. Amy and Kinman Quon are the kind of hosts that greet you at the front door, seat you at your favourite table, and bring you your regular order without even having to ask. To them, “predictable” isn’t a bad word—it denotes comfort and consistency, and, in the case of the Lingnan, it has defined more than sixty years of popularity.

But, while mom and pop Quon serve mounds of pork dumplings to their devoted clientele, their kids are planning a coup. Young Miles and his sister Mandy are proud of the Lingnan’s legacy, and they love the restaurant’s faithful fans, but they’re ready to spice things up. Will these young upstarts manage to reinvent the 60-year-old haunt and drag their parents kicking and screaming into the 21st century? Will their parents—and the Lingnan “regulars”—stand for it?

The Family Restaurant is Anaïd Productions’ groundbreaking (and often hilarious) glimpse into one family’s life in the high-pressure restaurant biz. Once again, the series serves up an unforgettably eccentric cast of characters, a steady diet of colourful, behind-the-scenes stories, and platter after mouthwatering platter of amazing food.

Cooking frenzies, communication breakdowns and front-of-house antics abound. The daily trials and triumphs of running a busy restaurant ignite family friction, often with hilarious results. But the Quon family's bond runs as deep as their passion for the Lingnan, and the result is a fast and funny series.
