Frommer's "This is French haute cuisine, but with a nod towards London's more relaxed style." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The celebrated chef's Mayfair Park restaurant has earned three Michelin Stars since opening in 2008. The contemporary dining room has a neutral creamy palette and high ceilings." Full review
Gayot17.0
"Enter the room, designed by Patrick Jouin, to find a soothing, sophisticated space with light wood panels and natural materials in varying shades of tan and cream." Full review
Independent "The no-expense-spared philosophy shows in the svelte Patrick Jouin-designed room, with its decaffeinated-coffee-and-skimmed- cream colours." Full review
The Guardian "Ducasse's proxy, Jocelyn Herland, produces dishes that are genuinely beautiful to the eye, but less memorable to the tastebud than that triple-star rating might suggest." Full review
Time Out "The cooking and setting are undeniably lovely, yet the overall experience lacks wow factors... largely because of its unfashionably restrained, traditional approach to fine dining." Full review
Zagat4.7
""Top class in every respect"." Full review
Not For Tourists "Better known for its extortionate prices than michelin-starred food."
Michelin Guide 3 Stars
"Alain Ducasse is one of France's greatest post-war chefs and his London team display a confidence in their ability and maturity in their attitude that does justice to his reputation." Full review
Evening Standard "Alain Ducasse has more three Michelin starred restaurants than London does. He has three, we have two. And, er, one of those, this one, is his." Full review

Fodor's "Roux's mastery of technically-precise and classical French cuisine hypnotizes all-comers." Full review
BlackBook "Known as much for its illustrious history – Ava Gardner and Charlie Chaplin were regulars – as its delectable, classic French cuisine."
Gayot17.0
"Since it opened on a previous site in the '60s, Le Gavroche has been an established part of London's culinary history, serving haute cuisine to a discerning, well-heeled clientele ever since." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Brothers Michel and Albert Roux have been synonymous with fine dining in Britain for decades, and the Gavroche is their flagship London restaurant."
Time Out "This restaurant colossus offers unapologetically old-school fine dining." Full review
The Guardian "This kitchen has always enjoyed a fondness for savoury mousselines, and rarely will you find a more practised hand than here." Full review
Zagat4.8
""Gifted" chef Michel Roux Jr. presents a "culinary extravaganza" of "beautifully presented" French "classics" at this "sophisticated", "expensive" Mayfair dining room." Full review
Travel + Leisure "A new kitchen and the introduction of a private dinning room, the “Chef’s Library,” move this restaurant, founded in 1967, firmly into the modern era." Full review
Departures "Try the cheese soufflé; Scotch beef and foie gras; and something from the dessert menu. Lunch here is also a fantastic (less gouging) option. " Full review
The Nudge4.5
"The well-rounded meat and fish menu ranges from sautéed lobster with a lemongrass and coconut infused lobster jus, to a roast saddle of rabbit with crispy potatoes and parmesan." Full review
