DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Celebrity chef and TV personality Gordon Ramsay is saying goodbye to Dubai.

The famously foul-mouthed Briton's company said by email Monday that his consultancy deal with Verre restaurant in the Gulf city-state is coming to an end.

Gordon Ramsay Holdings says it scrapped the deal after a regular review of commercial operations. It didn't elaborate, though a number of Ramsay's eateries have taken substantial financial losses.

Verre opened in the Hilton Dubai Creek hotel in 2001. It was Ramsay's first international restaurant.

Hilton confirmed the deal is ending this month but didn't say what's next for the highly rated restaurant. Verre's top chefs say they are working on a new project that will be unveiled soon.

Rachel Wilson-Couch: Feeling a Little Underwhelmed by Ramsay's @BreadStKitchen

After a recent and brief foray into Asia on our TVs, Ramsay has disappeared behind our TV screens to build an empire of food. The BSK is just this: a sexy theatrical warehouse hung with reclaimed lightshades, lamps and iron bars to the tunes of dance music and moody (mostly green) lighting.

He was losing money big time on that place.... when Bourdain went.. it was a GhostTown in there... Dubais bubble burst a while back and there is no sign of recovery for them any time soon.
