The Eloquent Elephant’s Chef Nigel Lobo is a rising star in cuisine and brings his own creativity and twist into the menu. Having grown up in the multi-cultural landscape of Dubai, Nigel went on to the Oberoi Centre of Learning and Development in India, after which he embarked on his culinary journey that took him across the world from Attica in Melbourne, Australia (21st best restaurant in the world at the time) to La vie in Osnabruck, Germany (3 star Michelin restaurant). He further honed his skills at The Oberoi Udaivilas, Udaipur India, following which was an in depth training in Spanish Gastronomy which included a stage at Miramar in Llanca by Paco Perez (2 Michelin Star), Compartir in Cadaques (from the Chef de Cuisine’s of el bulli) and La Tahona (a local tapas bar) in Valladolid. Nigel subsequently trained in Spanish gastronomy while gaining an integral understanding of Spanish culture, language, history, and modern 21st century Spain.
