Traditional French bistro serving authentic food and great wines
"Sadly, it would have been the tasting menu extravaganza that was Le Gavroche, which closed last year." - Edward Barsamian
"Before coming to the U.S., Lawrence made a name for himself in the UK working alongside the Roux Brothers at high-profile restaurants, including the Michelin-starred Le Gavroche." - Clair Lorell
"A long-established, Michelin-starred restaurant referenced as the place where the chef served as a former sous chef, providing the rigorous classical training and technique that he now applies to reinterpretations of kebab flavours." - Adam Coghlan
"A Michelin-starred restaurant whose then-chef Michel Roux Jr admitted the establishment treated the on-bill service charge "as revenue," keeping all sums added to bills — reportedly amounting to several thousand pounds a week. The revelation provoked public outcry and helped focus attention on varying industry practices for distributing tips and service charges, feeding into later investigations and debate about whether staff receive the full value of customer gratuities." - Emma Hughes
"Once regarded as a bastion of high-end French gastronomy, it has recently attracted a blistering takedown from legendary gourmand Bruce Palling (who allegedly carries his own Laguiole knife), with the critic declaring the experience closer to appalling — a verdict that eclipsed expectations that Marina O’Loughlin would deliver the week’s headline critique." - George Reynolds
