My dear father in law who was fish and meat buyer for Selfridges loved this place. So much that when Donald died the photo on his coffin was him holding a tumbler of whiskey in this restaurant. X thank you for bringing our much loved Donald such pleasure.

Love how excited he is about cooking/ his new kitchen

I asked to come and see his kitchen many years ago which Michel gracefully agreed to. It gave me an amazing insight into how stressful and crazy the back of house can be. The food they make.....just incredible and so many talented people, but what a life. It's obvious there is no life outside the kitchen.

One day just one day ! I am saving so I’ll have a meal there ! 😂I love Michel ! He’s so classic and such a gentleman ! Did I mention he’s a great chef ? 😜

A phenomenal chef and a beautiful restaurant. I want to try his famous soufflé Suissesse.

I absolutely adore how down to earth you are, one day, when I have some real money, I will gladly come spend it here sir, bravo!

I like the decor very relaxing

Michel is awesome

wow as a chef for nearly 30 years would love to work in that kitchen.

In 82 i was dishwasher there for 9 months, with chef René and steven

I have dreamt of going to Le Gavrochr, if I ever manage to, I'd like to try the whole menu, no matter how many days it would require for me to vacation near them.

I didn’t think about the benefit of induction stoves where heat is concerned. Interesting point.

Some staff at TV chef Michel Roux Jr's London restaurant were being paid less than the living wage, according to a Guardian investigation. Some workers at Le Gavroche got as little as £5.50 an hour - below the living wage of £7.20 an hour for over-25s. In a statement, the Mayfair restaurant confirmed that it was paying some staff below the national living wage. 🤯🤯😂😂😂

I’d love to dine here one day. Hopefully, my wife’s 40th in 2022.

NIce fancy restaurant. Great food with high prices to match. Apparently many of the "sluggers" (i.e. the kitchen staff) were paid below minimum wage for the "privilege" to work there.

If my kitchen had that kind of equipment oh man that be awesome. Too bad my place is too cheap to renovate. Everything is currently breaking down after a week right after repairs too. Probably would have been cheaper if they just got new equipment. I really like that stove/cooler combo.

I think i'll book the Chefs Library birthday present for my brother.

I kind of agree. Decor could use some work but I think he's mainly trying to evoke a feeling of nostalgia, whilst serving contemporary cuisine. It's novel albeit rather tacky but I can see where he's coming from. Lot of history to uphold with the Roux name.

In November 2016, the Guardian reported that whilst Roux's restaurant made over £250,000 in profit in 2015, he was paying some of his chefs less than the minimum wage. A chef showed the Guardian journalist Robert Booth evidence that chefs typically put in over 65 hours of labour per week, only earning about £5.50 per hour. Work days began at 7am ending at 11.30pm, with only one hour break between lunch and dinner times and sometimes as little as fifteen minutes for meal times.

£250,000 in profit is nothing. I can hardly imagine that number to be correct for a place like Gavroche. The profit should be much higher. But let's assume 250k are correct, if you have 50 staff and they each work 200 hours a month an extra £2 per hour would mean that it's £120,000 a year less in profit plus social security and other cost. Very slim margin for investments such as a new kitchen, interior, repairs let alone owners profit.
