Born in Bordeaux in South west France in 1961, Bruno Loubet first came to the UK in 1982, fresh from national service, to work for Pierre Koffmann at La Tante Claire as a Commis Chef. Having been awarded the 1985 Good Food Guide’s Young Chef of the Year, he joined Raymond Blanc in Oxford as Head Chef at the two Michelin-starred Manoir aux Quat’Saisons. He returned to London as Head Chef at the Four Seasons, Inn on the Park, where he earned a Michelin star within the year. He went on to open several more restaurants in London and Australia. This work shows some of his early inspirations. Near fine.
