Fodor's Expert Review Le Gavroche

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Master chef Michel Roux Jr. works the floor in the old-fashioned proprietorial way at this old-school Mayfair basement institution—established by his father and uncle in 1967—which many still rate as the best formal dining in London. Roux's mastery of classical French haute cuisine hypnotizes with signature dishes like lamb cutlet with sweetbreads and saddle of rabbit with Parmesan cheese. Desserts like the upside-down apple tart are expertly presented.
