Many of you will know, that Michel Roux is closing Le Gavroche after 56 years in January 2024, although ‘Le Gavroche’ name will continue to be a familiar presence in pop-ups and in other Roux ventures. This will be a great opportunity to interview him and to sample his cuisine, just a few weeks after this difficult decision to close the restaurant. We have been able to attract some extraordinary Brilliant Minds and this year is no exception. Some are old, some are new, but all have one common denominator - they are world class performers.
Michel has kindly allowed us to host our celebration in the beautiful Grand Ballroom. It will be in this stunning room that our speakers will explore a variety of different themes. We look forward to celebrating with you on Thursday 8th February 2024 in a relaxed and intimate setting.
