To mark my leaving the BBC, starting a new role at Euronews and Cath’s birthday, we went for dinner at Le Gavroche in central London.
After being treated to some aperitifs by Sean, a friend of our son’s who works in the kitchen, we ate some amazing dishes from the tasting menu.
Michel Roux Jr did his usual tour of the tables to say hello. I mentioned that we were moving to Lyon and he said it was his favourite French city. So naturally I asked him for some restaurant recommendations.
He returned shortly and gave me this:
Plenty to try there.
He said La Mere Brazier is amazing – but not cheap. Cath is already talking of booking us in for our wedding anniversary.
Thrown to (the) Lyon 
Blimey. You’d best ask for a raise as soon as you get there to fund this high living.
