Galvin La Chapelle to celebrate 15th anniversary with restaurant refurbishment
Chris and Jeff Galvin are to refurbish Galvin La Chapelle in London's Spitalfields as part of plans to reinvigorate the restaurant to mark its 15th anniversary.
The 130-year-old, Grade II listed, St Botolph's Hall, will be given a more contemporary feel as part of the renovations, while new dishes will be created to be enjoyed in the modernised space.
The redesigned interiors will highlight the vast high-beam ceilings, to create a lighter and brighter atmosphere, while new artwork collaborations will be established to highlight the restaurant's place in the community.
Galvin La Chappelle will continue to focus on modern French cuisine, with the menu representing the new space while taking inspiration from 15 years of operation.
The Galvin's iconic crab lasagne has been updated by head chef Arturo Granato and now takes the form of a Dorset crab raviolo with dashi ‘beurre blanc', braised fennel and caviar.
Meanwhile new dishes will include pine smoked squab pigeon with celeriac gratin, fermented fig, pink radicchio and dark chocolate as well as Orkney scallop ballotine served with gambero rosso, squid ink aioli, kimchi water and nasturtium oil.
Chris Galvin said: "As we celebrate 15 years of Galvin La Chapelle, it's a reflection of our commitment to championing traditional French cooking. The journey has been nothing short of incredible, and we owe our success to the unwavering dedication of our team and the wonderful patrons who have become part of the Galvin community."
Jeff Galvin added: "Galvin La Chapelle turning 15 is a testament to our dedication to French fine dining. Each year has been an amazing chapter and we're excited to continue evolving."
