- currently own six restaurants.
They closed Galvin Brasserie de Luxe and The Pompadour at The Waldorf Astoria Edinburgh earlier this year, but still own Bib Gourmand pub Galvin Green Man, Michelin-starred Galvin at Windows, Galvin at The Athenaeum in Mayfair and recently launched Galvin at Tottenham Hotspur. Future projects include another restaurant in Dubai.
Among the things they are most proud of, the brothers, fervent believers in promoting and nurturing careers in hospitality, have signed up the City & Guilds' skills recognition scheme, which they also helped design.
Additionally, the chefs were joined by Galvin at Windows' general manager Fred Sirieix in launching a work insertion programme, Galvin's Chance, as well as supporting the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts' Adopt-a-School initiative.
In 2011, they published a cookbook, Galvin a Cookbook de Luxe, and are planning another called Galvin Made Simple.
The brothers - who've served over a million customers at La Chapelle and HOP Bistrot & Bar - have no intention of curtailing their ambitions.
“Instead of patting ourselves on the back for surviving in the toughest hospitality arena on earth, we are more used to analysing the things we could do better,” said Jeff.
Meanwhile, Chris said: “Jeff and I are keen to look forward rather than back and as we’ve said this is a dynamic and changing business. One thing that will never change is our belief in integrity and sustainability throughout our company."
