Michel Roux JrCelebrated Michelin-Starred Culinary Expert and Broadcaster

Michel Roux Jr is one of the most distinguished figures in British gastronomy, having spent decades at the helm of the legendary two-star Michelin restaurant Le Gavroche. Born into a dynasty of culinary excellence as the son of Albert and nephew of Michel Roux Snr, he underwent a rigorous apprenticeship in France before joining the family business. His diverse background includes service in the French Army and qualifying as an accountant, experiences that provided him with a unique breadth of discipline and business acumen before he took over the flagship London kitchen from his father. A familiar face on television, he has shared his expertise on programmes such as MasterChef, Hell’s Kitchen, and The Apprentice. Beyond the professional kitchen, he is a prolific author of titles including The Marathon Chef and Matching Food and Wine. His dedication to fitness is as notable as his culinary skill; he has completed the London Marathon twenty times to support the charity VICTA. Most recently, he continues to uphold the Roux family legacy of excellence and remains a central figure in the UK’s fine dining scene. Audiences book Michel for his unparalleled authority on culinary standards, his disciplined approach to leadership, and his engaging presence as one of the world's most respected chefs.
