Le Gavroche

A true London institution and enduring bastion of classic French haute cuisine, Le Gavroche has been on the restaurant scene since 1967, when it was opened by the legendary Roux brothers Albert and the late Michel Roux Sr. Albert's son, Michel Roux Jr, carries on the family tradition and maintains impeccable standards with French dishes served in intimate, club-like surroundings.

Le Gavroche is open for dinner and diners can go all-in with the seven-course Menu Exceptionnel tasting menu, in omnivore or vegetarian versions, or choose from the à la carte menu. Sample dishes such as seared Loch Duart salmon, roast turbot on the bone or their renowned Soufflé Suissesse, a rich cheese soufflé made with double cream. Add a choice of wine flights selected by the sommelier to pair perfectly with each course.

The comfortable dining room is formal yet relaxed with a gentlemen's club feel, decorated in rich jewel colours with fresh flowers and artworks on the walls. For an even more intimate experience, book the private dining room for up to six guests.

Numerous notable chefs have earned their chops in Le Gavroche's kitchen, from Marco Pierre White to Gordon Ramsay and the restaurant has retained the two Michelin stars it first gained in 1977.
