Le Gavroche- "A fine dining Dream"

Located in the heart of Mayfair since 1967, Le Gavroche was the first reataurant in the UK to be offered a Michelin award. It offers a truly luxurious dining experience offering classic French cuisine with a mordern twist to it. This Restaurant should definitely be on your to-go list, especially for a special occasion.

I visited on my 25th birthday and had a truly pleasant time. The restaurant, although small, had comfotable leather sofas and seats. It is artistically decorated with flowers and vintage ornaments. The place is quiet and all customers are expected to be well dressed. Staff all wore uniform and were all professional.




The restaurant received countless awards including 2 Michelin-Stars and One of the 50 Best Restaurants in the World. The attention to detail, from decorations to food, is a key to why this restaurant deserves a lot of hype.

The Food
We were greeted with a complimentary (and truly delicious) canapés. Truly scrumptious!


Our Menu Exceptionnel included the following...
(nb: Each tasting menu gives you the wine option you could add in which for every course you would be served a glass of carefully chosen fine wine)

Soufflé Suissesse

Cheese Souffle Cooked on Double Cream

A very interesting dish. Soft yet so full of texture with a hint of yet not overwhelming cheese and pepper flavours. You'd expect souffles to be sweet but this one is special!

Terrine Marbrée de Foie Gras aux Epices Gelée au Madère et Croque aux Champignons

Spice Crusted Foie Gras Terrine , Madeira Jelly and mushroom Toast

Gratin de crabe au Perdil et piment d'Espelette

Snow Crab in a light Hollandaise sauce flavoured with Parsley and basque chilli

Filet de Maigre Parfumé au Ras-el-Hanout Fenouil et Riz Rouge de Camargue

Stone Bass and Pastilla, Scented with Arabian Spices Fennel, Red Rice and Meat Jus

Joue de Pore braiseé et fumee, Cromesquis de couennes

Braised and smoked porkcheek. Cripsy belly ravioli, Red cabbage Condiment

Agneau de lait rôti en persillade

Roast Pyrenean lamb with garlic and parsley thyme scented jus

OMGGGGGGGGG!!!

Editor's favourite!! The most tender and delicious piece of lamb I've had in my entire life. The meat was left to season for long hours before it was cooked- giving it time to absorb all flavour possible. The lamb was so perfectly cooked and blended with the sauce so well- immaculate dish! I will definitely return, just for this dish! (Full size option available for RRP £59)

Le Plateau de Fromages Affinés

Selection of French and British Farmhouse Cheese

It was the first time for me to see such a massive collection on a cheesboard! So colourful and pretty I wanted to carve the cheese myself!

Petite tarte tatin aux poires et glace à la vanille de madagascar

Pear tart tatin with Vanilla ice cream

The chef was so attentive he added a little something to my dessert, as a birthday greet :) Happy Happy Muji.

Café et Petits Fours

Another absolute bonus to visiting this restuarnt- Chef Michel Roux works there! Every evening he would come outside the dining room to greet customers and get feedback. I was one of the lucky ones to get a photo taken with him!

Me and Chef Roux!

Le Gavroche is a truly luxurious fine dining experience that you will not be able to forget. Although it is  pricey, I recommend booking this restaurant for your loved ones on a special occasion such as birthdays or anniversaries. It is most likely to put a smile on your loved one's face- it's all worth it right?
