The brothers, who run Galvin La Chapelle and Galvin Bistrot & Bar in London and Galvin Green Man in Essex, will mark 20 years since the launch of their debut Galvin Bistrot de Luxe on London’s Baker Street with a series of events and offers.
The focal point of the anniversary celebrations will be a gala dinner at Galvin La Chapelle in Spitalfields on 20 May where the brothers will reunite the brothers with former head chefs from their various restaurants.
Chefs include Andre Garrett, executive chef at Corinthia London, Warren Geraghty, executive chef at Tom Kerridge Group, Josh Barnes, chef-patron at Chef’s Table by Josh Barnes, and Joo Won, chef-patron of soon-to-open Calong.
Additionally, throughout the year some of the brothers’ favourite dishes from the past two decades will be revived as monthly specials, one at Galvin La Chapelle and another that will be available at Galvin Bistrot & Bar and their Essex pub Galvin Green Man.
Dishes at La Chapelle will include slow-cooked Pyrénées lamb, piperade, niçoise olive, goat cheese ‘ravioli’ in February and confit duck ‘en cassoulet’, mogette beans, piment d’Espelette in August.
At Bistrot & Bar and Green Man guests can look forward to the likes of supreme of guinea fowl with broad beans, fresh morels and herb gnocchi in April; andlLasagne of Dorset crab, beurre nantais and pea shoots in June.
Reflecting on their two decades in business, Chris Galvin says: “After a long career cooking in the best restaurants, working with the finest chefs and producers, it was a dream to work with my brother Jeff creating Galvin Restaurants.
“To reach our 20-year anniversary and still be so enthused feels special, something we could not have done without our amazing customers and staff, past and present.”
Adds Jeff: “Looking ahead, we firmly intend to continue innovating and delivering exceptional dining experiences to our guests.”
