Bruno Loubet

Dubbed a ‘super-chef’ by The Daily Telegraph, Bruno Loubet runs the kitchen at the much lauded Bistrot Bruno Loubet at the Zetter hotel in Clerkenwell. Bruno is known for his brilliance with flavours and his recently opened restaurant has won rave reviews from critics including Giles Coren and Jay Rayner.

Bruno was born in Bordeaux, southwest France, in 1961. He attended the Lycée Hotelier de Talence, which led to his first job as a Commis Chef at the Hyatt Regency in Brussels. After commencing National Service he moved to London in 1982, he embarked on a Commis Chef role at La Tante Claire with Pierre Koffmann, and then on to Gastronome One, in the New Kings Road, as Head Chef where he was awarded the 1985 Good Food Guide’s Young Chef of the Year.

Bruno then joined Raymond Blanc in Oxford as Head Chef at the two Michelin-starred Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons, and then moved as Chef/Manager to Le Petit Blanc, in Oxford. He returned to London as Head Chef at the Four Seasons, Inn on the Park, where he earned a Michelin star within a year. In 1992 Bruno went into partnership with Pierre Condou, opening Bistrot Bruno in Soho, which earned The Times Restaurant of the Year in 1993. Following the success of Bistrot Bruno, he opened L’Odeon in 1995, which was awarded The Times Restaurant of the Year in the following year.

He then decided on a lifestyle change, and moved his family to Brisbane, Australia, where he opened the multi award winning Bruno’s Tables. He headed back to Britain in 2009 to reside over the hugely successful Bistrot Bruno Loubet.
