Founded in 1967 by Albert and Michel Roux, Le Gavroche quickly became a benchmark for fine dining à la française in London’s exclusive Mayfair. Continuing the family tradition, Michel Roux Jr. took over in the kitchen in 1991. A new look, a new burst of creativity, combined with the incomparable recipes of his father and uncle, such as the Soufflé Suissesse, all further cemented the restaurant’s international renown. Grand Chef Roux Jr. showcases the very best of French produce with his seasonal cuisine, with dishes that feature Challans duck and lamb from the Pyrenees, making this a truly unique dining experience in the heart of London. Ava Gardner, Charlie Chaplin and Robert Redford have all dined here, the clientele being as brilliant as the menu.
