I am proud of working at the Waterside Inn, I only started in December of this year but felt like I been working here for years. Alain Roux is one of the best mangers I have had working in hospitality, I have never worked in a Michelin restaurant before I am proud to work for the Roux family.

What's it like working in a three star Michelin restaurant? I'm almost more fascinated by the discipline, dedication and hard work in the kitchen than I am eating at it. Long hours and low pay but an education of a lifetime I imagine.

Michels voice is so warm, it can melt an iceberg

Rest in Peace, dearest Chef Michel. Thank you for inspiring the young chef, to the eldest experienced. I wish I had a chance to work with you. The divine must have been jealous of the food you were giving to the mortal. Until we meet again.

Rest in peace, Michel Roux Sr. You were an inspiration and a pioneer.

The service is everything. Diego was the magic.

Wonderful - just wonderful... Truly exceptional in every way!

I had the pleasure to work there in 1995 as a kitchen porter , that was my first job in England and I still have wonderful memories ,specially collecting the herbs from chef Michel personal garden☺☺

I had a great Kitchen porter working in my kitchen for Ten Years , John Gallagher, he was the most important member of my team , I wonder where he is , probably retired as well , a most loyal fellow who was such an asset to have .

Driven by perfection. I hope to eat and stay here in the near future. It looks magical!

Absolutely gorgeous and very, very special !

I have been fortunate to eat at some amazing restaurants. The Waterside is one of the best restaurants in Europe, and definitely the best in the UK!

So much love for the Roux brothers in these comments, richly deserved and it says a lot about them .

Fantastic restaurant, Vive La FRANCE and Michel, Alain, René ROUX !

Fabulous! Count me in.

May Albert and Michel Sr. Rest in peace.

A must go!

The economics of this level of cooking always blow my mind. 24 highly-trained chefs working tirelessly for around 50 covers and producing top-tier cooking for every single one of them consistently and without fail. Add to that the acquisition of the best ingredients nature can provide and the tools to apply the techniques honed by perfectionist chefs...this is what people can't understand when they see the price tag and put it off as too expensive. And I didn't even mention location and other overheads...it's mind-boggling.

As a paramedic, I cannot afford these type of meals. How I wish I could. I’ve even tried to learn how to cook so I can treat my childhood sweetheart, my wife to such luxury

That's a good idea Ambo Guy, when you are cooking at home you may not have the skillset of the finest chefs, but you can give your dishes a lot of close attention to detail.

Your love ones will appreciate more when you cook at home. I watched different cooking videos and make it at home in my own interpretation. Don’t worry if you mess up the cooking. It is part of the learning experience. Happy cooking!

If you take a look at the "who's who" of UK restaurant scene for the last 40+ years and trace their training back... It tends to go back to the Roux or pass through their kitchen scions. Whom Chef Albert (RIP) used to affectionately call 'my babies' (MPW, GR, Koffman, Wareing etc etc...

Absolutely fortune

beautiful

Could listen to Michel read the yellow pages.

It´s really impressive, that a small, obsure little town like Bray, contains two, three Michelin starred restaurants...........

Rest in peace Michel Roux and Andrew Grant x

Hey

About 20 yrs ago I was a head chef in a small restaurant nearby serving gourmet food. I met Michael Roux in a booksigning in Maidenhead. I asked if I could come and work free at the Waterside inn. He was delighted and asked me to contact his secetary (?) about the date. As I was head chef with obligues to my work I couldnt do just any day. I gave them date I could work and in return I got this very nice letter kindly saying they give the time Id be allowed to come to their kitchen. He wished me all the best fot the future and wished me well. Would have been very nice to experience that but on the other hand I have a letter signed for me by Michael Roux

What does OBE stand for after his name? Sorry if that’s a dumb question

Tbh shocked at 1.08 to see the Taste Tatin as a cut piece from a larger one. Not what I would expect from a 3 star Michelin standard.

Says alot when so many staff team members have been there so long....

Good ears, you heard correctly - 24 chefs in a 3 Michelin star restaurant

Everyone has a French accent

If you decide to stay overnight the most beautiful waitresses are happy to make your dirtiest dream come true for a generous tip.

That's too many nationalities. Imagine a restaurant that hires based off of what your passport says, instead of what your resume says. Who is this restaurant trying to please, anyway??? Restaurant to applicants: 'Oh, I see you have tons of culinary experience, but, unfortunately, we already have enough French employees. Sorry!'

its a French restaurant, run by French people. ofcourse it gets three stars from Michelin. the most biased restaurant guide in history. if it was run by Englishmen it would lose a star automatically.

Being established long ago and having roots in French culinary cooking and service tradition - all has its consequences, which cannot and will not be changed by critique. Especially when it is coming from other countries, which built their restaurant service on what they have learned from classical French cuisine.
