In 1986, he took a position in Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons, Great Milton, Oxon working alongside world-renowned chef Raymond Blanc. It is here where Moore learned more about the high end Michelin Star dining trade. Moore also worked for a stint in Le Louis XV restaurant in Monte Carlo’s Hotel de Paris.

In 1991, Moore opened his first French fine-dining restaurant, Pied à Terre on Charlotte Street in London’s West End.

These two stars were retained until 1999. Marcus Eaves is the head chef at Pied à Terre and gained his first Michelin star at the age of just 27 years - fourteen months after opening the doors of L'Autre Pied in 2007. Eaves runs the Pied à Terre kitchen and heads up the fantastic team, producing creative and exciting food that continues to delight both diners and critics alike.
