STAFF at Glasgow's Cail Bruich restaurant have received the best possible commendation after world-renowned French British chef Albert Roux sat down for a meal on Sunday night.

The award-winning West End restaurant said it was an 'absolute honour' to cook for Roux, who launched Le Gavroche in London, with his younger brother Michael, which was the first British restaurant to win a first, second and third Michelin star.

It quickly became a favourite of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

In 1984, he and Michel set up the Roux Scholarship and went on to train Michelin starred chefs Gordon Ramsay, Marco Pierre White, Pierre Koffmann and Marcus Wareing.

Glasgow Times:

Le Gavroche is now run by Albert's son, Michael Roux junior, former MasterChef judge and continues to attract a who's who of celebrities and members of the Royal family.

A spokesman for Cail Bruich said: "Chef Roux visited us as a regular customer yesterday evening. The team were very honoured to welcome a chef of his stature to the restaurant."

The restaurant declined to give any details about Mr Roux's order.

Glasgow Times:

Le Gavroche, in Mayfair, is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as having served the most expensive meal per head when three diners spent $20,945 on one meal (including cigars, spirits, and six bottles of wine costing $19,248) in September 1997.

In a poll by Caterer and Hotelkeeper magazine in 2003, Albert and Michel Roux were voted the most influential chefs in the country.
