Loïc Lefebvre (born 4 December 1976) is a Michelin-starred French chef and restaurateur. He is the chef-owner of L’Atelier du Peintre in Colmar, France.
Lefebvre studied at Lycée Alain Fournier in Verdun, France.
He spent his formative years of technical training in France in the Michelin-starred kitchens of Christian Willer (of Le Palme d'Or Restaurant), twin brothers Jacques and Lourent Pourcel (of Le Jardin des Sens) and Jacques Chibois (of La Bastilde Saint-Antoine). [1]
Lefebvre has been chef for former President of France, Jacques Chirac. [2]
Lefebvre's first head chef position, at 28 years of age, was at La Riviera, a restaurant at the Glenmoriston Town House hotel and restaurant in Inverness, Scotland, owned by multi-millionaire Barry Larsen. He was in charge of four compatriot chefs, and the aim was to garner a coveted Michelin star.
Larsen changed La Riviera's name to Abstract, before opening a second restaurant, named Contrast, next door in June 2006.
In March 2007, after three years in Inverness, Lefebvre moved to Edinburgh, where he and Larsen had planned to open a second location under the Abstract name. After a disagreement, Lefebvre returned to France in May 2007. [3] The second location closed in January 2010.
Lefebvre opened the 40-seat [4] L’Atelier du Peintre in Colmar, France, in March 2009. [5]
Lefebvre was featured in a Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares episode that aired in June 2005. [6] Gordon Ramsay and his team visited La Riviera the previous winter. [7] The show revisited the restaurant twice: once two months after the original; then again, two years later. After the visits, the restaurant won the Scottish Hotel Restaurant of the Year award. [6]
L’Atelier du Peintre received a Michelin star in 2011. [8]
Lefebvre lives with his partner Caroline Cordier, who is the restaurant manager. [9]
