Profile - Jerome Tauvron

Between 1989 and 1995 under the watchful eye of Michel Rubod in Commentry (France) and Patrick Henriroux at La Pyramide Fernand Point, Vienne (France), Jerome started his career as a Commis de cuisine and then went on to work as Chef de Partie at Les Prés d’Eugènie with Michel Guerard and Pierre Gagnaire’s famous restaurant in St Etienne (France) before moving onto the famous Le Louix XV; Monaco; with Alain Ducasse.

This was to be an invaluable experience and allowed him to perfect his already acquired talent.
Prior to his arrival in London, 2 years were spent at yet another famous restaurant Le Lion d’Or, Estivareilles (France), this time as Head Chef.

Jerôme then had an opportunity to work with Marco Pierre White’s at Quo Vadis and took the chance.
His talent did not go unnoticed and he soon found himself Executive Chef at Ozer and Head Chef at The Harrington Club, before his partnership began with L’Etranger.

With full creativity control on his choice of products and recipes as well as his liking of exotic spices, guests at L’Etranger are always eager to sample new dishes whilst remaining faithful to their favourites such as Tuna Spring Roll with Ginger and Coriander and the infamous Caramelised Black Cod with Miso.

SPECIAL THANKS

After many years perfecting his culinary knowledge, with Restauranteurs and Culinary Giants such as Marco Pierre White, Alain Ducasse, Pierre Gagnaire and Michel Guerard, Jerome Tauvron and Ibi Issolah bonded and our vision was born on December 2002 when we finally opened our doors.

The satisfaction that we gain by watching people enjoying our food and surroundings is immense and we want as many people as possible to experience and share in our passion.

I am very proud of Jerome as my business partners, but also very honoured to be counting many of our neighbours as now firm friends. Without their continuous support, it would not have been a dream completely fulfilled.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you in your interest and if you have not visited us yet I hope to see you very soon.

A very special thank you to Cindy, my wife, for her support and patience when kept away from home all hours, Rezki and Luc my children, for continuing to love me even when my presence was ghostly.
Andy Martin and Tom Davies! Thank you for designing what has become a beautiful niche (as many of our guests like to call it) and for your continuous battle in ensuring that the final product is what it is today.
And finally, to my Management team for their hard work which has kept our guests coming back for more.

Ibi
Director
