"Superb. There was no better description for the deliciously moist and flaky piece of pepper and herb crusted mahi-mahi that I had just tasted.

There was no better description for the deliciously moist and flaky piece of pepper and herb crusted mahi-mahi that I had just tasted. A welcome departure from the usual red snapper 'al mojo de ajo' that, although generally quite tasty, eventually loses its appeal for the local diner because of its sheer omnipresence on the menus of Zihuatanejo, Mexico." After several years of being in charge of the extensive food operation in prestigious hotels as Chef de Cuisine all over the world, Fabrice Lavacry, originally a Frenchman from Normandy, decided to give up overseeing functions and administrative responsibilities and return to a more creative and hands-on position. He designs his menu around the availability and quality of local products, and applies his classical French training and culinary techniques. The results are astonishing dishes with a certain French twist; although his experience ranges across an impressive variety of cuisines. For those who would readily skip dinner to get to dessert, Fabrice not only does magic with fish and vegetables but also has an amazing knack for whipping up the sweeter things in life. His cakes melt in your mouth, his croissants are deliciously light and flaky and his baguette is so authentically French that it will actually make you speak with an accent... Read all Hide

We hired a private chef from La Belle Assiette for our parents 60th wedding anniversary. We were allocated Fabrice and we also decided on a waiter (Charlie) as there were 15 of us. We went for a bespoke menu and knew we wanted a beef main with an apple dessert. Fabrice created the perfect menu for us. On the night Fabrice was amazingly professional and well prepared. He was really detail oriented and made sure the table was laid immaculately. The food was amazing. Aranchini as a starter, beef asado for main and apple tatin for dessert. Every single guest loved it!! Will definitely use this service again - amazing. Thank you Fabrice and Charlie for such a special evening.
Really enjoyed our experience with La Belle Assiette. The booking process was really straight forward. Had a phone call from Fabrice, our chef, a week before to plan the menu. He arrived and took care of everything. The food was fabulous. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and we would definitely do it again.
We had a fantastic meal cooked by Chef Fabrice for a big family celebration. The food was delicious, especially the celeriac canapés and the lamb was superb. Chef Fabrice was friendly and professional, overall a wonderful experience which we wouldn’t hesitate to repeat.
As we were celebrating my wife’s birthday we choose the six course signature menu. Fabrice Lavacry consulted us on our requirements and then designed a wonderful menu. The evening exceeded our expectations. Fabrice’s professionalism, flair and excellent skills made for a great experience. Fabrice has the ability to work in a manner that was discreet and did not impact on the table. In addition I asked Fabrice to prepare a celebration cake which was a real crowd pleaser! The kitchen was left spotless .
Everyone was really complimentary about the food - it was really delicious and bang on time and Fabrice and his helper were lovely people to have in our home. Couldn’t fault anything thank you so much
Great company and set up - couldn't have been easier to use and Chef Fabrice called in advance to confirm details.
Dishes were presented beautifully and very tasty.
Kitchen left immaculate afterwards
Service was professional and friendly and I would have liked the dishes to be described when they were presented. They were just put in front of us and we had to look up the menu on-line to check what we were eating.
A good meal enjoyed by all.
Fabrice stepped in at the last minute and produced a very enjoyable and memorable meal for eight of us to celebrate my father’s 90th birthday.
The attention to detail, the level of engagement/contact before and the spontaneous birthday gesture were perfect. Thank you and thanks to Anita too.
Fabrice was very punctual, friendly, organised, attentive and discreet. But perhaps most importantly, the food was excellent! Every course. The evening was exactly what we had hoped for.
We had a dinner party for 8 people for a friends 40th birthday celebrations, we had so much help with choosing our menu with quick responses to our emails, the food was amazing and the service even better. Our chef and his assistant were very polite and were there for anything we needed! Thank you to everyone involved!
It was a fantastic experience. Fabrice was very professional and his great personality came through in the delicious food which was beautifully presented. He looked after us really well.
Absolutely wonderful experience! Fabrice arrived in time as discussed and checked all the preferences for our little one over the phone in advance. Dinner was magnifique and service is outstanding the same as a presentation of every single dish. Great story behind every course. Merci chef Fabrice!
From the first contact with Fabrice, to welcoming in to our home to cook us dinner, I was super impressed with him! The communication before hand to discuss menus and dietary requirements was excellent and this service continued on the night. I cannot describe how amazing the food was that was served. It was phenomenal, so tasty and just perfect for celebrating our special occasion. I would 100% recommend this service, especially chef Fabrice who was such a lovely guy.
I hired a chef from La Belle Assiette for a 50th birthday dinner party. The chef and his assistant arrived 2 hours beforehand and prepared all the food in advance. His assistant served as a waitress throughout the meal, serving the courses and the wine. Afterwards they cleaned and washed up. Both food and service were impeccable. My guests were all very impressed with all aspects of the service, as was I will. I will be hiring them again.
