Would love to be locked in that cellar! Glad I had the opportunity to dine at Le Gavroche a few times on very special occasions . Sad that it has closed.

[@cibulis5347]

closed ? why

[@CooManTunes]

@@cibulis5347 Michel wanted to spend his time on other things in his life. Family, new businesses, etc..

❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙌🏻

Why has it closed? I would have thought a resaurant of that high calibre could be sold off easily as a business?

[@ethonica]

Michel Roux Jr, 63, said he was closing the restaurant to try to “make time for a better work/life balance, so I can spend more time with my family and on my other business ventures”. Now it has emerged that one of those business ventures is taking his famous restaurant to the high seas - or the Norwegian fjords to be precise. Starting in June, Roux will open “Le Gavroche residencies at sea” on board Cunard’s luxury Queen Anne and Queen Mary 2 voyages from the UK to Norway.

@@ethonica Ahh that makes sense then, so the physical building is moving, but the business, soul and food is moving to a new location on board a boat. That's good to know!

[@Lic.en.derecho]

Nice, so now he not only will be working but sailing somewhere away from town...smart

[@CooManTunes]

@@ethonica That's great to know. Le Gavroche is still alive. Thanks for the info!

[@darkarts59]

His kids didn't want to take it over.

[@tonyadeney1245]

That will start with “Le Gavroche at The Verandah” onboard Cunard’s flagship Queen Mary 2 for her sailing to Hardangerfjord, near Bergen, on 2 June. And Bray is still open which is a lovely restaurent hotel venue - on the Thames outside London .....

It is totally beyond my comprehension how he could sell the painting of Le Gavroche AFTER THE STORY OF ALBERT AND MICHAEL SR BUYING IT IN PARIS IN 1967 the beginning of the Roux story. But what do I know, very sad

[@CSJHUANG]

Why did you close it?????

[@markroberts2378]

Horrendously high rent!

[@awordon9631]

Remember to steal your Employees wages. That will ensure the restaurant lives on!

[@CooManTunes]

Nobody respects you, or cares about your existence.

[@evilmrmole3747]

When did this happen it was while in lockdown ?

[@CooManTunes]

The restaurant never lost business, half-a-brain.

[@davidcameron7597]

Yes, the secret to a profitable business is to illegally pay less than minimum wage. What a guy!

[@CooManTunes]

@@davidcameron7597 Yep. Definitely a great guy! Retired and closed his successful business, to move onto other successful business ventures.

[@leemichael1506]

It closed because he robbed the staff of their tips and everyone boycotted the place ….

[@CooManTunes]

That's why it has stellar reviews and was sold-out, night after night, right? Lolz. Back to your hole.

[@leemichael1506]

@@CooManTunes you’ve obviously not been there lately idiot !!!! It’s been half empty .

[@lavoltare6307]

What a shame, was the best in London.

[@leemichael1506]

He’s a complete fraud !!
