About Us

From the extensive main courses, the Potée Auvergnate is a must! Another age old recipe from Frédéric’s grandfather, the stock for this traditional pork hotpot is lovingly prepared and patiently simmered for at least eight hours. The result - a hearty and flavoursome broth laced with cabbage and garden fresh vegetables, with tender meat that simply falls off the bone.

Contrary to a couple of other reviews, my experience at Brasserie Gavroche has been nothing short of stellar. I've only discovered this gem of a restaurant this week and I have since returned twice within the week. So what's the allure? 1. Refined and Consistent Execution One of their winning starters is poached eggs in red wine sauce (Oeuf Poche Meurette) and having ordered it twice, I might have to commend them on the perfect harmony of flavours. The red wine sauce was richly infused with the umami flavours of grilled lardon and mushrooms but yet, these balanced delicately against the poached eggs. This makes for a hearty starter and don't forget to save some bread to mop up the wicked blend of red wine sauce and runny yolks. 2. Fresh Interpretations of Classic Dishes while maintaining transitional sensibilities Duck confit - a quintessential dish that could perhaps be all too predictable. Not here however. Gavroche's interpretation of this dish finds expression in a gratin dish which combined the various components of the traditional dish into one flavour bomb. Unexpected but it sure worked. Quenelles - fish mousse served with a crayfish jus. Once again, a successful balance of flavours, great textures and an elegant flavour profile. 3. Great selection of wines 4. Good service Timely and attentive. My wine and water glasses were never empty and the maitre d' was accommodative of our requests. Even though they were running a full house on a Friday evening, the staff checked back on us 3 times just to be certain that we were well taken care of. Overall, this was a honest and wholesome dining experience that celebrates good produce, solid execution and a great dining ambience. If you're in the mood for a bit of Paris Je t'aime, this is it.
