Jean Michel Gauffre: about to experience the Ramsay effect

Fancy a table at La Garrigue in Edinburgh? If so, you’d better book now ‘cos Jean Michel Gauffre’s Languedoc-inspired food is about to be in huge demand.

Next Tuesday, La Garrigue goes up against Scunthorpe’s Winteringham Fields in Ramsay’s Best Restaurants program on Channel 4.

Last year, Edinburgh’s Chop Chop made an appearance and their phone has scarcely stopped ringing since.

Chef proprietor Jean Michel Gauffre, also the owner of L’artichaut, is bracing himself for a similar effect.

You can see what 5pm offers La Garrigue has here.

Appearing on Ramsay’s show has been just one of many big events in JM’s life over the last year. His diary is here and it gives a sobering insight into what it’s like to run a restaurant.
