About
The first UK restaurant to be awarded one, two, and then three Michelin stars, Le Gavroche remains a class apart. Since opening in 1967, this Mayfair bastion of French cuisine has been very much a family affair, and chef-patron Michel Roux Jr continues the tradition today. The elegance of the menu and the ambience is impeccably tailored, while the discreet service has won its own plaudits.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

An amazing experience! The dishes were rich in flavour and the level between classic and contemporary was just right! The chicken pasta dish was very flavourful and the pigeon was cooked well. The pear sabayon and shortbread dessert I chose instead of cheese was very...satisfying and pleasantly rich. The alcoholic drinks were reasonably priced as well. Meeting Michel Roux Jr. himself and getting a photograph and a signed menu was a great experience. I will miss this restaurant a lot. It's such a shame to see it close after having been open for nearly 60 years and having such an amazing history and role in the British fine dining scene. Keeping 2 Michelin stars for over 30 years is a sign of excellence and determination. I wish I had been able to go more times over the years. I had a fabulous meal both times I dined here! Thank you for the excellent food and hospitality. Wishing all staff the best of luck in their new jobs and Michel Roux Jr. a happy and relaxing time with his family and friends!More

Having dined previously at Michelin Star restaurants we were very much looking forward to our reservation at the Gavroche . We were a party of three and ordered the menu exceptional vegetarian , the menu exceptional and one meal from the a la carte menu.... Both menu exceptionals were disappointing , the only memorable course of both being the cheese soufflé , the cheese board offered a good selection but these are bought in and not made at the Gavroche , it’s also not the best idea to cut slices of different cheese using the same knives ! My wife who had chosen the a la carte menu enjoyed the cheese soufflé starter , the steak tournedos main and sticky toffee pudding dessert which interestingly wasn’t anything like sticky toffee pudding ! Perhaps it would be best to stay away from the menu exceptionals although this should not be the case ! Generally there was a lack of fine detail to the dining experience , a lack of enthusiasm from the staff other than the sommelier who was well worthy of a 2 Michelin star restaurant . Sadly we felt the whole experience was underwhelming and disappointing , perhaps tainted as a result of its upcoming closure .More

We were all so looking forward to our visit. We all eat out several times a week and so have a good understanding of food & service. This was our first visit to a 2 Star Michelin Restaurant in quite some time so we were...looking forward to that iconic step up that one should be able to justifiably expect at the prices charged. There was no step up from our usual eclectic mix of dining establishments - other than in pricing, and this was a very substantial step up! I’m not going into lots more detail because they’re closing anyway so it will achieve no purpose but at over £2000 spent for 4 (albeit with some very expensive Wines) it was very disappointing. I’m saddened as it’s put me off visiting other 2 Star Michelin Restaurants.More

Everything was perfect from pre dinner drinks through to an additional (and totally unnecessary) order of additional puddings and cheeses. Wine choices superb with red being perfectly decanted and both exceptional choices of white and champagne. For such a serious and celebrated restaurant it still...manages to be incredibly friendly and warm with the most wonderful atmosphere. .More

This was oh so disappointing- I really wish it wasn’t but all 6 of us can’t be wrong (we have very varied experiences and tastes). What a shame.
