We say…

toptable Dining Awards 2010 - Runner-up: Over £45, Celebrity Chef Restaurant and Romance.

Holder of two Michelin stars and, more importantly, winner of the Toptable Best Food award, Michel Roux Jr’s Le Gavroche is among London’s most well loved restaurants. An unimposing doorway in the heart of Mayfair leads in to a temple of gastronomy. Whet your palate with an aperitif in the cosy bar with its country house atmosphere before moving in to the classically designed main restaurant where crisp white linen meets heritage paint colours and tasteful artwork. There may be a dress code here but Le Gavroche is nonetheless unpretentious and comfortable – sink in to a comfortable chair and be spoilt for choice by some of the finest French food the UK has to offer and the pick of a 60,000 bottle wine cellar.

Signature dish

Roast saddle of rabbit with crispy potatoes and parmesan.

Sample dishes

  • Mousseline de homard au Champagne et caviar (lobster mousse with caviar and Champagne butter sauce)

Reviewer: (Anonymous)

We went for the tasting menu with wine. The wines perfectly matched each course, however some of the food was too rich, and some dishes were average at best. A great cheese selection and the appearance of M Roux himself were the highlights, but expected more for the money.

Amazin experience dining at Le Gavroche. I could not find anything that was less than perfect. We had the menu exceptionel with the wine. The service was faultless. Well worth splashing out for a very special occasion.

Reviewer brian chuang  -  foodie

Given the credential of the 2 star michelin, the food was good but not extraordinary The highlight of the night was the lobster salad with black truffle The service was good but I think they are over-hired in terms of staff. Too many waiter/waitress standing around mostly not doing much. The atmosphere is very French but perhaps is more suited for a business meal rather than a date.
