The love of flavours and the search for pleasure

The circle is complete. It was here, while enjoying a dish in this Bastide that would become his restaurant, that Alain Llorca had a revelation thirty years ago. This revelation was his vocation: gourmet cuisine.

A chef influenced by the Mediterranean, Alain Llorca soon took charge of renowned and Michelin-starred kitchens (Les Peintres, the Negresco, Le Moulin de Mougins…),

In 2012, it was at the head of his eponymous restaurant that he was once again distinguished by a star in the Michelin guide. Creative and with fine taste and generosity of spirit, Alain Llorca offers refined cuisine, synonymous with discovery and pleasure. Like a balancing act, he seeks the perfect match, absolute precision for a high-class recipe

Jean-michel Llorca

Jean Michel Llorca, pastry chef and dessert creator, is passionate about the sweetness and delicacy of flavours. Inspired by the current menus, his recipes revisit classic combinations for creations that are as surprising as they are exquisite.

I want to follow in my brother’s footsteps, knowing that the dessert marks the end of a meal and should be as close as possible to it.

Chef's Journey

Passionate about cooking and trained at the hospitality college in Nice, Alain Llorca’s enthusiasm and discipline quickly propelled him to become chef of the restaurant Les Peintres in Cagnes-sur-Mer (1 star in the Michelin Guide) where he immediately obtained his first star. Instant recognition for a young chef.

He then honed his talent and was rewarded with two Michelin stars in 1996, at the head of the Negresco team. In the kitchen of the mythical Nice palace, he brought contemporary Mediterranean cuisine to life and became an iconic chef of the cuisine of southern France.

This notoriety and brilliance would make him a worthy successor to the great Chef Roger Vergé at the Moulin de Mougins in 2004, where he let his creativity explode for four years.
Finally, in 2009, he opened the house that bears his name, where he was awarded his first star in 2012. Alain Llorca is a chef bubbling with ideas to indulge the palate with honest and generous cuisine, rooted in the Mediterranean style.

Parcours de Chef

Passionné de cuisine et formé au lycée hôtelier de Nice, l’enthousiasme d’Alain Llorca et sa rigueur le propulsent rapidement chef du restaurant les Peintres de Cagnes-sur-Mer (1 étoile au Guide Michelin) où il obtient immédiatement une première étoile. Consécration rapide pour un jeune chef.

Puis son talent s’aiguise et sera récompensé de deux étoiles au Michelin en 1996, aux commandes de la brigade du Negresco. Dans la cuisine du mythique palace niçois, il fera vivre la cuisine méditerranéenne contemporaine et deviendra un chef emblématique de la cuisine du Sud.

Cette notoriété, cette fulgurance, feront de lui le digne successeur du grand Chef Roger Vergé en 2004 au Moulin de Mougins où il laissera exploser sa créativité quatre années durant.

Enfin, il ouvre, en 2009, la maison qui porte son nom où il décroche sa première étoile dès 2012. Alain Llorca est un chef bouillonnant d’idées avec une cuisine sincère, généreuse et toujours ancrée dans un style méditerranéen.
