Les Saveurs de Jean-Christophe Novelli, previously known asLes Saveurs, was a restaurant inCurzon Street,Mayfair,London, run by chef proprietorJean-Christophe Novelli.
The restaurant was Novelli's sixth to be opened in the Novelli Group, in partnership withRocco Forte's RF Hotels. Owned byMarco Pierre White in the mid 1990s, it was bought by RF Hotels in April 1997, and leased to Novelli.[1] In the contract, Novelli agreed to pay 10% of turnover or a minimum of £100,000 a year to Forte.[1]
The restaurant opened in 1998, but was closed a year later, after losing money.[2][3]Gordon Ramsay described the takeover as "astonishing, and involved Jean-Christophe Novelli, a man who Marco probably thinks should be in his eternal debt. Marco was dying to get his hands on Les Saveurs, in Curzon Street."[4]Hospitality described the restaurant as "the upmarket Mayfair eatery that earned him [Novelli] yet anotherMichelin Star".[5]
The venue reopened in 1999 asNovelli at Curzon Street.[3]
