Roux at The Landau Opens at the Langham Hotel in London
December 3, 2010 - Father and son Albert and Michel Roux Jr. are working together for the first time in 19 years in a new collaboration with The Langham, London. This new partnership brings the Roux's legendary culinary expertise and creativity to the newly re-named Roux at The Landau, their second West End address.
With its own dedicated entrance on Portland Place opposite BBC Broadcasting House, Roux at The Landau is the stunning David Collins designed signature restaurant at Langham Hotels' flagship property - The Langham, London.
Roux protege Chris King has been chosen as Chef de Cuisine. He has worked at Le Gavroche over the past five years. He completed his apprenticeship there and was given the opportunity to cook at Thomas Keller's Per Se in New York, before returning to Le Gavroche and then Roux at Parliament Square as Sous Chef.
The front of house team will continue to be headed up by industry veterans Franco Becci, Restaurant Manager, and Zach Saghir, Head Sommelier, who have been with the restaurant since its opening three years ago.
Michel Roux Jr. says of the new Chef: “Chris King is a rising star, and his menus reflect the Roux trademark style of classically-constructed French dishes, blended with today's tastes for lighter choices. He has a modern approach to combining ingredients, and a contemporary style of presentation.” Some classic British dishes, which are customer favorites, will also feature on the menu.
Katie Benson, Regional Vice President for Langham Hotels and Managing Director of The Langham, London adds: “This is a true partnership, bringing together the formidable talents of Albert and Michel Roux Jr. With the Roux's new talent of Chris King, we can build on the restaurant's acknowledged standards of elegance and seamless service with exceptional new food.”
Chris King's team will also be creating the food for Postillion, the discreet and enchanting private dining room, which is available for dining for up to 18 persons.
The wine list at Roux at The Landau will be enhanced with the addition of some selected wines hand-picked by legendary Le Gavroche former General Manager Silvano Giraldin.
