Chef Perfecte Rocher Is Coming!
Get ready for something truly special! Chef Rocher is bringing his stunning “garden dining” concept from The Rocher’s at the Ranch House (Ojai’s newest seasonal dining destination) to the Loquita kitchen for one unforgettable night.
Here’s what makes this extra meaningful: we’re absolutely thrilled to welcome Chef Rocher back – he was our consulting chef when we first opened Loquita over 9 years ago, so this is a true homecoming! It’s like having family return with incredible new stories and flavors to share.
Expect innovative dishes that blur the lines between garden and plate, where every bite tells a story of seasonal ingredients and culinary artistry. This is the kind of collaboration that happens when two passionate culinary minds reunite with years of experience between them.
August 11th & 12th Chef Tony Tan Is Coming All the Way From Australia!
We’re bringing international flair to Santa Barbara with not one, but TWO exclusive experiences featuring the incredible Chef Tony Tan.
Monday, August 11th at Loquita – Chef Tan brings his signature flavors to our kitchen for an exclusive popup menu. One night only. Think bold, creative dishes that showcase his unique culinary perspective, perfectly paired with our Spanish-inspired atmosphere.
Tuesday, August 12th at SB Wine Collective – Join Chef Tan for an intimate cooking demonstration and multi-course dining experience. Watch the magic happen, then taste every incredible bite. This is a ticketed event that will sell out fast!
Two nights, two completely different experiences with one phenomenal chef. It’s like getting a masterclass in international cuisine while enjoying some of the best food you’ll have all year.
