LONDON, Jan 6 — French chef Albert Roux, who with his brother Michel brought Paris-style fine dining to London in the 1960s and inspired generations of chefs, has died aged 85, his family said today. He had been unwell for a while. “He was a mentor for so many people in the hospitality industry, and a real inspiration to budding chefs, including me,” said Albert’s son Michel Roux Jr, who runs Le Gavroche restaurant founded in 1967 by his father and uncle.The brothers, originally from the small town of Charolles in central France, arrived in London at a time when the British capital was not known for sophisticated gastronomy.

Le Gavroche was the first restaurant based in Britain to obtain three Michelin stars, the ultimate accolade in the world of haute cuisine.
