User:Steph 270/Alexis Gauthier

Alexis Gauthier, 31 (born in Avignon, Provence) is a French chef who achieved a Michelin star in 2000. He was the former Chef Patron of the Michellin-starred Roussillon in London.

Gauthier chooses to operate along unusual lines, he takes a more Californian, almost British approach allowing the seasons and his suppliers to influence and determine what he and his talented brigade cook with a particularly strong, and rather un-French, emphasis on the freshest vegetables and salads.

Gauthier is due to launch a new restaurant at Lindsay House with Roberto della Pietra, the previous head sommelier at Roussillon. Gauthier will retain his share of ownership in Roussillon.
