From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Michel Roux (born 1941) is a French-born restaurateur working in Britain.
Born in Charolles, Roux moved to Paris with his family after the war, where they set up a charcuterie (delicatessen). At the age of 14 he became a patissier (pastry chef), and later followed his elder brother Albert back to Paris to work as a chef.
When Albert moved to London, Michel again followed him, and in 1967 they opened their first restaurant, Le Gavroche, which became the first restaurant in Britain to gain one, two and then three Michelin stars. In 1972 they opened the Waterside Inn.
