Le Gavroche, founded by Albert Roux and Michel Roux Snr in 1967 and run by Michel Roux Jr since 1991, is a stalwart of the London restaurant scene – it was the first French restaurant of its kind in the capital and also the first restaurant in the UK to earn one, two and then three Michelin stars. Le Gavroche still serves French haute cuisine across a la carte and eight-course tasting menus, with showstopping dishes like grilled & glazed langoustine with tomato tartare & consomme, and barbecued pigeon supreme with crispy leg, beetroot & fermented blackberry.
