'一波由開設在偏遠而隱密的餐廳所帶來的料理革命正準備席捲全世界。他們打破了餐飲界的常規，迫使食客們跋涉千里才有機會一嚐美食。去年夏天，麥克路斯決定挑戰自己，在遠離他的二星米其林餐廳的偏遠地方開設新餐廳，就接近他長大時生活的肯特郡。這間由烘乾屋所改造而成的餐廳只有18個座位，讓他能以更簡單、更個性化與帶有鄉村風格的方式料理。為了找尋靈感，他花了整個夏天的時間走遍鄉間尋找英國那些最棒的隱密餐廳，不僅為了一窺箇中奧秘也是為了從他們的成功經驗中學習。
'There’s a food revolution going on with new hidden restaurants opening in far flung places and extraordinary venues. They are breaking the conventions of the restaurant world, by creating bespoke and unlikely establishments that demand diners get off the beaten track to discover. And last summer, as a challenge to himself, Michel Roux Jr is setting up his own hidden restaurant far away from his 2 Michelin starred London restaurant, Le Gavroche. A place, near where he grew up as a child in Kent. His converted Oast House restaurant, with just 18 covers, will afford him the chance to cook in a simpler, more personal and rustic style. For inspiration, he spent the summer travelling the country, on a research trip, visiting some of Britain’s best hidden restaurants to learn the secrets of the world of hidden restaurants and to learn the ingredients behind their success.
