Highly regarded amongst Asian’s finest French cuisines, Le Normandie at Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok is delighted to welcome back the gastronomic extraordinaire, Michel Roux, OBE of The Waterside Inn, an internationally acclaimed ‘restaurant with rooms’ nestling on the banks of Thames, in the charming 16th century village of Bray, Berkshire, UK.
The Waterside Inn has been serving inspirational French cuisine since 1972 gaining the first Michelin star in the Guide’s first edition in 1974, a second followed in 1977 before the ultimate accolade for a three-star status in 1985. Today, it remains the only establishment outside France to have retained those coveted stars for more than 30 years. Sophisticated diners from all over the world have been flocking to the picturesque village of Bray fairly to visit The Waterside Inn.
The Roux family is legendary within the culinary luminaries, Michel Roux and his brother, Albert, has made an unprecedented influence on British fine dining scenes. They have together opened their first restaurant in 1967, Le Gavroche, in London’s prestigious Mayfair district. It was the first restaurant in Britain to gain three Michelin stars. The Rouxs separated their business interests in 1986, Albert chose Le Gavroche while Michel opted for The Waterside Inn, where his son Alain Roux is now Chef Patron, and Diego Masciaga has been Director of the Dining Room since 1988.
In 2002, Michel Roux was awarded an honorary OBE (Order of The British Empire) by HM Queen Elizabeth II to recognise his culinary achievement for the United Kingdom.
