Michel Roux Jr explains the history of the famous Michelin-starred restaurant.

I’ve had the pleasure of dinning at Le Gavroche and The Waterside Inn many times, for both business and pleasure. Aside from all the obvious accolades, both Michel Jr and Alain are wonderful people. They are perhaps the best face of London’s premier restaurant scene. I love Michel, nobody can argue he has such vibrancy and noticeable passion for his craft. He has a gift for inviting people into his realm, unlike many of his peers with pretentious attitudes. You notice this right away.

Albert

[@zfilmmaker]

@@StraightHeffin their names are Alain and Micheal Roux. I don’t know who Albert is.

[@rexregum6693]

Kids think Gordon Ramsay is the best. Men think Marco Pierre White is the best. Gordon and Marco think the Roux Brothers are the best.

[@stevenhowell9457]

I fucking love this

[@mitchand9]

Kids don't think that the fuck?

[@davekeyser2530]

Yes they do what the fuck?

[@SamBrickell]

@@mitchand9 Your last name is Mitchell... You don't have any excuse for poor English. Stop being a useless slob and improve your communication skills and your life.

[@MrDavey2010]

The current Roux is appalling. I ate there & the service was appalling. The food was poor. Not as good as it thinks it is.

[@flappospammo]

chef michel is incredibly charismatic

[@mateuszz9032]

I hope to get a table before closure.

[@herczeus9341]

Too bad it lost it's 3rd Michelin Star. Michel Roux Jr deserves it!

[@cordes85]

the Roux family, simply the best chefs imho, there are.

[@JonnievonHeldreich]

Shame that was so short but love this sort of bio history

[@lavoltare6307]

Amazing food best i have eaten anywhere in the world.

[@flappospammo]

chef michel is a class act

[@owen7185]

I reckon Albert would have had a temper 😂😂. RiP to both legends

[@spwicks1980]

Albert was responsible in part for Marco's coke and booze habit ;) Roasted him like a joint of meat.

[@MrinalsBlog]

The best restaurant in the world!

[@LBStirlo]

Nothing short of magic

[@nagayoshii]

Agree! Back and face reality...

[@estebancorral5151]

What do the French think of Le Gavroche? Oh, these poor deprived Britons, they know no better. Or is it? La Gavroche is beacon of hope to an otherwise bleak and bitterly cold isle. It makes us proud.

[@prodigypenn]

kind of late with this, in fact 7 years late, but whatever. The Roux bros. were well respected across the world, they hold a competition every year for young restaurant cooks, and the winner gets to work in any Michelin starred restaurant in the world, of their choosing, for 1 year and they will pay for travel and housing

[@thedrunkgriller1874]

awesome video....deep

[@Kameenah]

All about Southern Fried Chicken.

[@jeffreymorris11]

Amazon should commission Michel for a show of his own. Why did the resturant lose a Michelin Star? I believe it now has two stars, once three.

[@SchweitzerMan]

+Jeffrey Morris According to Marco Pierre White, a Michelin inspector said that many of the meals they had weren't up to the three star status.

[@jeffreymorris11]

+SchweitzerMan Thanks!

[@MichelRouxLeGavroche]

+Jeffrey Morris Actually, Michel didn't want to keep 3 stars. He is happier having 2. His dad Albert had 3 stars.

[@EC2019]

Regarding the loss of the third star Michel Roux Jr said that "Certainly I would love three stars. I believe in the system and the recognition would be wonderful. But I am not cooking that style of food. There are dishes that are worthy of it but my style really doesn't suit that status."[3] ---- Whoops. Nope.

[@giannis5229]

music? anyone knows the composer???

[@wtsang1]

Rest in peace

[@dino1261]

Most of their food is standard French recipees ..

[@helloworld0911]

The most expensive dish is on that old menu was £118/-. You can't even buy a meal in McDonald's in today's money.

[@danlieter5673]

Not one mention of the Marco, Unbelievable

[@estebancorral5151]

The French can be bitterly cruel in their open frankness, but much worse in their covert silence.

[@burlyliftlock8117]

the truth is mpw is the greatest

[@lukemackenzie2944]

Levi Lock lol no chance

[@jd236236]

I believe you mean to say classical French.

[@Ingeborg70]

I may be wrong but I thnk that the Roux brothers started long ago in the South of France at "LA COLOMBE D'OR" in St Paul de Vence

[@eb5857]

Do they really on pay there employees 5.5 pounds a hour?

[@ssteacup]

Lol

[@louiswilliamson5937]

All of these celebrity chefs are con men

[@SamBrickell]

It seems to be like an internship that means that you likely can make it as a head chef at a prestigious restaurant relatively quickly. Since slavery is illegal at this point in history in the UK, I imagine they pay a wage that ensures that they get enough employees who are up to their standards.

[@spwicks1980]

The apprentices perhaps... But the minimum wage is about 7.50 ish for a 21 year old.

[@dino1261]

Once you work in here..No one w'd hear abt you young chefs..It is only made for this family...U'll always live on bread line. As self employed chef.I jumped from £270 pw to 400 a shift . If you have a good culinary culture and you food tastes good ,clients don't care who you worked for..so dn't get slaved by these tv chefs

[@SamuelDPyke]

Didn't make it, huh? Blame others, huh? What a prick and loser you are!

[@nativesun7661]

To anyone able to answer: what is the name of the painter mentioned at 0:38? Phonetically, it's "Pouk of Monmat" - what is the actual name and correct spelling please?

[@panathasg13]

au Montmartre

[@harisrex7532]

Oui'd roux

[@lilou0024]

Yu mad man

[@suaveslavchov8836]

sorry but expensive restaurant with that name...please....!!!!

[@kunt1969]

400 quid a shift! bollocks

[@delottayez]

'Fine-dining' is a horrible experience. You are under constant observation by poorly-paid, terrified, waiters and obliged to dance to the chef's tune and consume on command. Awful. The diner should call the shots and eat and drink as he or she pleases.

[@suzannebaily5293]

Have you been to many fine dining restaurants? It doesn't sound like you have. I have been to many, including Le Gavroche, many times, and I would say in my experience, you are completely wrong..

[@suzannebaily5293]

@Htx457 Haha!

[@mitchand9]

The diner does. If you're going to fine dine because you're concerned about the wait staff then you're going for the wrong reason.

[@markmcdonnell8566]

it lost a star because the standards dropped

[@UnOxonien]

Unlike Marco and Gordon, you mean? Pipe down.
