Michel Roux Jnr. caters for the MPs...
Just across the road from Westminster, Michel Roux Jnr’s new London restaurant in the Institute of Chartered Surveyors building has 2008 Roux Scholarship winner Dan Cox as head chef. There is a separate first-floor bar serving snacks and smaller dishes and the 56-cover restaurant features a French/Mediterranean-inspired menu. It's a beautiful building with a stunning view of Westminster and Big Ben.

"To be sure, these things make for a “good” restaurant, in a strict, uptight kind of way. They do not, by any stretch of the imagination, make for a sexy one." READ REVIEW
"Alas, this latest entrant into the pantheon of London’s ‘fayn daynin’ destinations is about as much fun as a day spent transcribing John Redwood interviews." READ REVIEW

"The last word in fashionability (or, we suspect, critical appeal) this establishment is not, but for a professional or lobbying lunch – and why else would anyone ever be likely to come here? – it is most certainly ‘fit for purpose’." READ REVIEW
"Will Roux at Parliament Square overcome the various challenges ranged against it? My conclusion is that it will, thanks to the talent of newcomer Daniel Cox." READ REVIEW
