Grégoire Jacquet

GFranchise

Grégoire offers a food experience like no other with its unique rotating menu and consistently fantastic housemade recipes. We combine our thoughtful cuisine with genuinely welcoming customer service in a takeout restaurant business model. This is a chef-driven concept that offers a very different product. We are passionate about the food we serve and sharing it with our local communities. Chef Grégoire Jacquet takes the time to foster relationships with community vendors and local farms in order to develop the finest and freshest recipes. His team is tight-knit and has low turnover, in strong part due to the empowering independent spirit of the business. Everyone involved gets to contribute to its overall excellence and success. Grégoire’s pre-planned menu changes quarterly to reflect the seasonal availability of ingredients so our recipes come alive with traditional and exciting flavors. All food is prepared at the Grégoire Culinary Hub to make it easy for franchise owners to create the authentic Grégoire experience.

About

Grégoire Jacquet

French-trained Chef Grégoire Jacquet was dissatisfied working at five-star, Michelin-rated restaurants around the world. Craving independence, he left fine dining to venture off on his own.

In 2002, Jacquet transformed the tradition of carryout food by opening the first high-end takeout restaurant—called Grégoire—just around the corner from the renowned Chez Panisse in the heart of Berkeley’s Gourmet Ghetto.

Twenty years later, having thrived through both a recession and a pandemic, Grégoire is a neighborhood institution and the home of the famous potato puff.
