I went with my wife and parents, we have eaten the Frenchman's food before, only this was somehow different, the feel of the food and the evening was home. The Pisaladiere was to die for, as was the stuffed artichoke and the Duck à L'orange, not to say the other offerings were not of the highest standard, because they were, just those three stuck out for me. Pairings of the wines was, also for me spot on, and being able to order said wines direct from him was a bonus. A privilege to have been able to attend this event, can't wait for the next.read more

Loic was recommended to me by a work colleague who knew his cooking and I used him for a surprise birthday party for my wife. I gave him a budget told him what the 8 guests liked and together he came up with a menu that looked really enticing. On the night Loic arrived early, cooked and served each course telling us about each in detail. Each plate looked amazing and tasted amazing too, and Loic also gave us some really tasty surprises in between the courses that I didn’t expect . All 8 of us really enjoyed the meal, and I was delighted with the bill as the quality of the food would have cost us at least three times as much in an upmarket restaurant. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and I and the guests are still talking about it months later!read more

While renting a holiday home in Sandbanks we where looking for a private chef. We found Loic and he prepared for the fourteen of us an exquisite and amazing French menu. Food was beautiful to look at and of course to eat ! It was really easy to organise as Loic came and took care of everything. We just had to provide our own wine, seat and enjoy ! We highly recommend his services.read more

We hired Loic Gratadoux for a private birthday party for 12 people at our home. Everything about the experience was wonderful. We discussed and agreed on all the dishes and wine recommended to accompany the food prior to the evening. Loic was very friendly and professional, and the food was amazing. Would highly recommend.read more

A couple of weekends ago, we (along with 6 other friends) had the pleasure of experiencing a 4 course meal prepared by Loic. The dishes which mostly had a seafood theme to them, were not only beautiful to look at but delicious too! Loic was on hand during the meal to explain how the dishes had been created and his passion for good food is obvious. It was a real treat for the senses, one which we would heartily recommend to others. With thanks from the Richardson’s.read more

Loic thank you so much for cooking an awesome meal for us. Our dinner for 8 was divine. You even managed to accommodate some tricky food preferences for some of the party without anyone realising the menu was tailored to accommodate this. I can’t fault the service you provided. Exquisite meal. We look forward to using your services again in the future. I’d thoroughly recommend you to all.read more
