Cedric Nicolas
About
Born and raised in Versailles, France Chef Cedric got his first introduction to cooking from his mom, who insisted on using the freshest ingredients from local markets for their family's meals. After trying his hand in the home kitchen, he formalized his interest in cooking when it came time to decide on professional school and enrolled in a culinary training program at the age of 15. It only took several months, and a couple missed soccer games, for Chef Cedric to decide he wanted to get into restaurants.
He moved to London to stage at The Lanesborough, and by the age of 19 he was working in Michelin-starred Le Club Gascon. Chef Cedric eventually came back home to France to work under Gordon Ramsey.He went on to Chef for a restaurant with a daily tasting menu that featured the best local ingredients he could source - this eventually earned the restaurant a Michelin Plate award.
Chef Cedric moved to Los Angeles in 2017 to open La Belle Vie and has been cooking in the city ever since.

Creamy Chicken & Bacon Pasta MIA
Love this meal. I did precook the bacon to get them crispy. The ratio of pasta to sauce is spot on. Will order again.

Chicken Gyro & Quinoa Bowl
Heating the chicken in the microwave was a good bonus. The cabbage was fresh and added a nice crunch. The vinaigrette really pulled the flavors and textures together

Chef Cedric's Breakfast Plate
the tater tots were gross and even cooked in the oven, the tomatoes did not taste "roasted"

Classic Shrimp Caesar Salad
I now understand why previous reviews said it needed more lettuce! U get a huge amount of shrimp in this salad! Not a complaint! I heated the shrimp and added them back in. Delicious!!!

Greek Pasta Salad
The flavor is good. More cucumbers would be nice. Using pitted olives would be ideal. For me this is a work lunch and my colleagues don’t want to see me spitting olive pits out during lunch.

Creamy Chicken & Bacon Pasta MIA
Lacking in flavor, very one noted. Sauce wasn't creamy and didn't have much flavor. Even added salt didn't help. Maybe it's supposed to be a comfort meal, but it missed the mark for me.
