"'From the very beginning, our approach to dining was driven by passion and creativity - offering guests the freedom to explore three to five dishes across our menu, in no set order, long before "small plates" became part of everyday dining language. It was a sharing-led experience designed to showcase the very best of Gascony's rich culinary heritage.'"
"Earning its Michelin star in 2002, Club Gascon became part of a set of high-end restaurants that turned Smithfield into a dining destination, alongside the likes of St John and Stephen Bull Bistro. You've still got time to try the restaurant's signature dishes, which include a 'tipsy duck' - a whole roast bird glazed with Armagnac -, foie gras and 'faux' gras, because Club Gascon's final service will take place on March 28."
Club Gascon, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Smithfield, will close following dinner service on 28 March after 27 years of operation. The restaurant opened in 1998 under chef-owner Pascal Aussignac and drew inspiration from Gascony in south-west France. The menu emphasized a sharing-led, three-to-five-dish approach that predated the mainstream use of 'small plates'. Club Gascon earned a Michelin star in 2002 and helped establish Smithfield as a fine-dining destination. Sister venues Comptoir Gascon and Cellar Gascon are closed. Signature dishes included a tipsy duck glazed with Armagnac, foie gras and 'faux' gras.
