Gauthier Soho in City of London,Westminster

08/10/2020: At £55 without wine, this is the best Michelin set lunch in London. You can add wine if you wish. Three courses with three “options” to pick from in each course. The food is classic french, very high standards of taste and presentation. You can have cheese instead of dessert from the amazing cheese trolley. You can also add a famous Swiss cheese soufflé to your meal for £13 per portion. They normally have a wonderful fresh ice cream trolley as well but that is offline during Covid. Even during the pandemic it was a lovely environment and of course the general manager and also Michel Roux Jr come out to each table to say hello which is always a nice touch.Congrats to Nitesh & Sona !

01/08/2020: Prompted by a newspaper article by Michel Leroux, we returned for my birthday dinner yesterday evening. The tables may have been rearranged to comply with Lockdown rules, but it was as splendid as I remember it from 9 years ago. There is no lift down to the lower ground floor but I managed the stairs.Le Gavroche now has a fixed price menu of 4 courses at £80 inc VAT and service, which we chose.Each course was perfectly cooked and presented. After amuse-bouches, we had a slice of cured salmon, skate wing, and stuffed rabbit roundels. I cannot say there was a Wow taste with any though the very mature Comte I chose from the cheese trolley was superb.There was a full team of servers, neatly dressed with black face masks. It was all very efficient and professionalLoos are on the same floor as the restaurant and well maintained
