CHEF LOIC DOAN JAUSORO

Loic Doan grew up in the Canary Islands, surrounded by the sea and everything that it entails. His father was a sailor so he naturally developed a love for watersports, spearfishing, diving and surfing. It was when he had the opportunity to travel the world in his youth that he began to develop his sensibility for the culinary arts. Exploring places like Indonesia, Vietnam, Norway, Thailand, Sweden, Austria, France- these cultures all have left a mark on his senses and inform his versatile culinary abilities.

Loic's passion for cooking was born thanks to his grandmothers. Since he was a child he spent time in their kitchens as well as his aunt's restaurant, observing and falling in love with the magic that was being created there. Loic decided to pursue a degree with the top culinary school in Spain. He studied gastronomy and culinary arts in the heart of Spanish gastronomy, Basque Country. There he spent 4 years learning a tremendous amount alongside colleagues from all over the world and with the guidance of internationally recognized chefs. Loic started cooking in small restaurants and villas and soon he was able to work in places with greater recognition, among which include an Italian Michelin star restaurant, Nub Restaurant, and the highly regarded Nordic restaurant with Japanese influence, called Frantzén, which has three Michelin Stars.

After these years of applying his knowledge, Loic defines his cuisine as a blend of international style, with Spanish and Italian cuisine standing out the most. He loves to challenge himself daily by playing with different styles - blending the old with the new in his recipe creation, a nod to where he first fell in love with cooking. Ultimately it's the light, fresh, local ingredients that inform his menu design. You can look forward to experiencing a beautifully presented, delicious and versatile culinary experience onboard with Loic Doan.
