As of January 2024, Le Gavroche has closed it doors permanently after 56 years. His daughter Emily will not be taking over the restaurant. She runs her own restaurant named Caractere, together with her husband Diego. Le Gavroche was the first restaurant in Great Britain that obtained 3 Michelin stars. Michel Roux Jr, who is 64 years of age, explains: ''I must make time for a better work/life balance, so I can spend more time with my family and on my other business ventures.''

Souffle Suissesse Serves 4 45g butter 45g plain flour 500ml milk 5 egg yolks Salt and freshly ground white pepper 6 egg whites 600ml double cream 200g Gruyere or Emmental cheese, grated Heat the oven to 200 C. Melt the butter in a thick-based saucepan, whisk in the flour and cook, stirring continuously, for about a minute. Whisk in the milk and boil for 3 minutes, whisking all the time to prevent any lumps from forming. Beat in the yolks and remove from the heat; season with salt and pepper. Cover with a piece of buttered greaseproof paper to prevent a skin from forming. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form firm, not stiff, peaks. Add a third of the egg whites to the yolk mixture and beat with a whisk until evenly mixed, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites. Spoon the mixture into four well-buttered 8cm diameter tartlet moulds and place in the oven for 3 minutes, until the tops begin to turn golden. Meanwhile, season the cream with a little salt, warm it gently and pour into a gratin dish. Turn the soufflés out into the cream, sprinkle the grated cheese over them, then return them to the oven for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Though this might be the recipe that they have given, it doesn’t work. Far too much milk. If you look at his bechamel it was thick and paste-like. I found using 45g each of butter and flour and 125ml milk works best. Also you must use shallow moulds. The mixture does not cook properly with normal soufflé ramekins leaving the middle uncooked meaning it does not plop out of the ramekin onto the plate without completely falling apart. Still trying to get this recipe bang on, but those are my two insights.

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
