2 X MICHElIN STARS

Wednesday 11th evening dinner.
Thursday 12th festive woodland lunch.

Michel Roux Jr. is the ex chef-patron of Le Gavroche, one of London's most esteemed & iconic restaurants. Founded in 1967 by his father Albert Roux and uncle Michel Roux Sr.

Le Gavroche was the first UK restaurant to earn three Michelin stars. Michel Roux Jr. took over in 1991, maintaining its legacy while adding his own touch of modern French elegance.

He stands out for his mastery of French cuisine, honed through rigorous training and an innate passion for food. Raised in a family of culinary legends, he absorbed the art of precision and flavor from a young age.

Michel Roux Jr previously cooked at YOXMAN in 2023 and we can't wait to welcome him back for the December 2024 event.
