Chef Bruno Loubet talks through his plans for a second London restaurant and gives his views on French restaurants in the UK and Michelin in this exclusive interview with BigHospitality.

Shot at the Restaurant Show 2011, following his demonstration centre stage, the interview sees Loubet discuss why vegetables will be given a greater focus at his new upmarket Marylebone restaurant and why Michelin should be more generous to the industry's hard-working chefs and restaurateurs with its stars.
