Remarkable Places to Eat: Christmas
Michel Roux Jr takes Fred Sirieix for a Christmas treat in his favourite British city, Bristol. First up is a French bistro where they enjoy a stunning cote de boeuf and Michel makes aligot, known as the best mashed potato in the world. The duo then enjoy a swim in one of Britain’s oldest lidos, which has an award-winning restaurant serving up a delicious breakfast. Escaping to the countryside, they visit a countryside hotel and restaurant when Fred makes buffalo mozzarella while Michel samples the hotel’s own cider, before a return to the city and the multicultural neighbourhood of St Pauls, where they learn to cook Caribbean jerk turkey.
Leading chefs take Fred Sirieix to experience the restaurants where they genuinely love to eat and explore what goes into making them so special.
