Welcome to the Petit Journal our Quarterly Newsletter from Galvin Restaurants |
| We would like to thank all of our much-loved guests for your continued support and good wishes during what has been an incredibly busy and challenging year. We have opened two new restaurants in Spitalfields, La Chapelle which we are thrilled to announce was awarded Restaurant of the Year 2010 by Tatler Magazine Restaurant Guide and Café a Vin. But, it is true to say that we still enjoy ‘rattling the pans’ as much as we have ever done, if not more so and always look forward to seeing you when you visit us at the Bistrot, La Chapelle or Café a Vin. Chris and Jeff |

News from Galvin Bistrot de Luxe  Galvin Bistrot is indeed a very special restaurant and this year it will be five years old! We are so pleased that it continues to go from strength to strength and that many of you have grown with it, no doubt witnessing all the fun and tribulations along the way.Jason McAuliffe is our newly appointed restaurant manager and he looks forward to welcoming you to the Bistrot from the 1st June. Jason has an amazing pedigree in hospitality and has worked at some of the best restaurants in London including Chez Bruce and the Grill Room at the Dorchester. He also has a top knowledge of wines and is sure to want to share this with you.

News from Galvin La Chapelle  Tracey MacLeod of the Independent wrote in her review that La Chapelle ‘is the kind of place you will see in the movies’ and this statement perfectly describes the glamour and elegance of the restaurant. It certainly is a room with the wow factor. For those of you who have yet to give it a try, the food offering is very similar to that which we have created at the Bistrot. It’s very much what we do best, good honest French Bistrot cooking.La Chapelle is open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner, so why not join us for Sunday lunch? when we offer a set three course menu at £24.50 per person as well as a Sunday Roast from the wood fired oven and our a la carte selection. Children are very much welcome and we have a Sunday Lunch Children’s menu at £9.50 per person, after all even the youngest minds appreciate a little bit of glamour now and again. |

News from Galvin Café A Vin  Our busy little Café next door to La Chapelle offers relaxed, informal and (weather permitting) al fresco dining. Situated on Bishops Square in Spitalfields there is much to entertain with Old Spitalfields Market on the doorstep and a vast array of street culture taking place in and around the area.Many people have found the Café to be a hidden gem with its fixed priced 2 course menu at £14.95 per person and a wine list that promotes natural and biodynamic wines. It’s a great place to hang out with friends and our popular aperitivi hour (4pm – 7pm) provides an excellent opportunity to meet up after work. |
