Roux to take La Gavroche to sea with Cunard

Luxury Cruise Line Cunard has announced a world-class line-up for their first-ever Festival of Food & Wine on board Queen Mary 2.

The seven-night Transatlantic crossing will bring together leading authorities in the food and wine industry, including legendary chef Michel Roux Jr.

As chef patron of one of the UK’s finest Michelin-starred French cuisine restaurants, Le Gavroche, Roux will indulge guests in a feast of the senses with a series of hosted dinners in the Verandah restaurant as well as a three-course signature gala menu in the Britannia Grill.

He will be joined by Le Gavroche executive chef, Rachel Humphrey, and will also be holding a cooking demonstration during the crossing.

Roux said: “I am thrilled to be joining Cunard on the first ever Festival of Food & Wine voyage on their flagship Queen Mary 2, alongside a host of experts in their fields.

Award-winning wine writer and columnist Will Lyons and food editor Lisa Markwell will also be offering their valuable insight and knowledge on the food and wine industry.
