DREUX ELLIS - EXECUTIVE CHEF

After working in fine dining restaurants in both Boston and San Francisco, Dreux Ellis spent 8 years in Venice, Italy where he undertook a traditional European apprenticeship path, working in a number of five star hotels and training under two Michelen-starred chefs. He was the founding chef of Le Spighe, the first vegetarian gastronomy restaurant in Venice, which enjoyed great success working with the Venice Biennale and the International Film Festival. Dreux returned to San Francisco in 2008 to deepen his exploration of plant-based cuisine, managing the Central Kitchen for Cafe Gratitude. In April 2012, Dreux came to Venice, California as Executive Chef of Cafe Gratitude in Southern California bringing his health-based, flavor driven cuisine to a wider audience.

    A CLEANSE PROGRAM BY CAFÉ GRATITUDE

     

    Eating clean is easy.
    To cleanse does not mean to diet. It means to detox, refine, and rejuvenate. However, the word “cleanse” has become intimidating and scary, because it now associates its meaning with deprivation and restriction.

  • With this misinterpretation in mind, we chose to develop our cleanse concept based on this simple truth: Eating clean is easy and furthermore, is a tangible and enjoyable lifestyle that promotes one’s vitality, health and well-being. It restores both the mind and body not only through what we consume, but through love, acceptance, gratitude, worth, creation, abundance and generosity.

  • Meal Plan

    1 day: $60
    3 days: $180
    5 days: $300

  • A daily menu of teas, juices, elixirs, raw salads and smoothies for those interested in returning to an all organic diet, those who want to restore their health, or for those who are curious about how it feels to live a plant-based lifestyle.
