According to the Westminster Council website, Union Street Cafe Limited - a company associated with the Gordon Ramsay empire - has successfully applied for a premises license transfer for the 43 Upper Brook Street restaurant.
The designated premises supervisor named on the application is industry front-of-house legend Silvano Giraldin, who oversaw the front-of-house at Le Gavroche for over 30 years.
It will be a homecoming of sorts for Gordon Ramsay, who first cooked at the restaurant in 1989, in his early twenties, under then-chef patron Albert Roux.
The purchase will be the latest in a string of major acquisitions for the group.
Earlier this month, Gordon Ramsay Restaurants launched an enormous multifaceted restaurant Project in The City of London.
Le Gavroche closed in January 2024 after 56 years. At the time, chef patron Michel Roux Jr. said he was looking for a better work/life balance without the daily demands of a busy Michelin-starred restaurant.
Initially opened in 1967 by brothers Albert and Michel Roux Sr, Le Gavroche was the first UK to gain one, two, and three Michelin stars (it lost its third in 1993) and was renowned for its classic French haute cuisine. The restaurant moved to its current location on Upper Brook Street in Mayfair in 1981.
In 1991, Michel Roux Jr., son of Albert Roux, took over the restaurant and continued to lead it until its closure.
