It was the first UK restaurant to receive a Michelin star in 1974, a second in 1977 and a third in 1982. The name Le Gavroche comes from the fictional character Gavroche in Les Misérables.

The restaurant offers classical French food, although some dishes come with something of a modern twist. The Food is a work of art. Here are some of the excellent taste of food we recently had the opportunity to indulge in… (apologies for the poor photography skills this time)
