Alexis Gauthier's place...
Chef patron at the Michelin-starred Roussillon, Alexis Gauthier, has left his Pimlico restaurant to open up his own place in the heart of town, with French cuisine in the marvellous setting of this Georgian townhouse.

"It felt like ambitious restaurants used to feel the last time I was doing this job back in 1995. What redeemed Gauthier Soho was the level of the cooking." READ REVIEW

"Each dish is beautifully composed, the elements as polite and harmonious as a string quartet or a performance by Justin Bieber. The word exquisite comes to mind." READ REVIEW

"...I would say you cannot go wrong on this menu. It is not enormously surprising, but then a lot of surprises aren't good ones." READ REVIEW

"The meat course sees a reversal of fortunes. "Every other course is just mean," my companion smiles as my saddle of Welsh lamb is un-domed, exposing four miniature fingers of meat." READ REVIEW
"While not groundbreaking in style or content, there's no doubt that Gauthier is a worthy addition to the motley collection of bars and restaurants of Soho, and it would be very mean to dismiss the food there based just on the rather staid and uncomfortable atmosphere in its upstairs dining room."

"This is one of the best restaurants in town just now – and certainly a good place to try purple sprouting broccoli, and other seasonal veg, if you haven't already." READ REVIEW
"...a two-star dinner, a four-star lunch, so a three-star grade." READ REVIEW

"The definition of the word savoury (or umami as is currently in vogue) would have a picture of my Veal Sweetbreads with Morels next to it." READ REVIEW
Remarkable food and excellent service. Staff is friendly and well trained. I loved everything about the food. Combination of flavours was fantastic and the service was relatively quick. Also enjoyed the small touch of picking your own olive oil to go with your bread. The oil was great too! Would highly recommend it - I went for the 4 course lunch which was great value for the type of food you get. A wonderful experience indeed.
