"The finest gourmet grocer’s
a foodie could ever dream of"
(J.P. COFFE, leading French cookery writer, 1993)

Supplier of the leading restaurants in France and abroad.

Michelin-starred chefs know a thing or two about food and often consult Gérard Pinto before composing their menus.

The highest accolade was received in 1995 when he was the only Frenchman in the ‘Grocer – Fine Foods’ category to be selected by the ‘Conseil National des Arts Culinaires Français’ to represent France at the “Best of France and Britain” in London.

In 2007, Pinto will celebrate the 50th anniversary of his company whose experience and savoir faire are recognised in the most famous national and international guidebooks.
