The Return of a Modern Legend Michel Roux at l’abeille October 13-15, 2026

Following the success of last year’s residency, l’abeille is honored to welcome back the legendary Michel Roux for the next chapter of what is becoming an annual New York tradition.

For three nights only, Chef Roux returns to l’abeille, bringing the legacy of London’s iconic Le Gavroche—the two-Michelin-starred institution that helped define modern French dining in the United Kingdom and beyond.

Since Le Gavroche closed its doors in 2024 after 56 remarkable years, Chef Roux has continued its legacy under the Chez Roux family banner, creating exceptional dining experiences through international residencies, collaborations, and special engagements.

For this year’s residency, Chef Roux once again joins Chef Mitsu for a dialogue between classical French refinement and Japanese precision. Their collaborative eight-course tasting menu features Le Gavroche classics, including Soufflé Suissesse; Artichoke Heart filled with truffles and foie gras; and Roast Duck Supreme with sunflower purée and port jus.

Also returning to New York are Ursula and Silvia, the beloved “twins,” whose unmistakable warmth and gracious service were an essential part of the Le Gavroche experience.
