👨‍🍳 Service Process

How does a private chef service work?

1) Initial contact to discuss your preferences and menu.
2) I propose a personalized menu and quote.
3) I arrive 2-3 hours before the meal with all fresh ingredients.
4) I cook in your kitchen, serve the dishes and clean everything before leaving.
You just enjoy your guests!

Do you provide ingredients and equipment?

Yes, I take care of everything: shopping for fresh products from my local suppliers, cooking equipment if needed. You don't need to prepare anything. Ingredients are included in the service price.

Do you offer butler service?

Yes, for events with more than 10 guests or upon request, I can bring a butler for impeccable table service. This option is also available for smaller groups wanting a premium experience.

Do you clean the kitchen after the service?

Absolutely! I leave your kitchen as clean as when I arrived. Dishes are done, countertops cleaned. You don't have to do anything after I leave.

🍽️ Guests & Menus

What is the minimum and maximum number of guests?

For dinner at home: minimum 6 guests, no maximum (I adapt my team according to the event). For cocktail parties: from 12 people. For villa/chalet stays: no minimum, ideal for families or groups of friends.

Do you handle allergies and dietary requirements?

Absolutely! I adapt to all requirements: allergies (gluten, dairy, nuts...), intolerances, vegetarian, vegan, pork-free, halal, kosher diets, or any other specific needs. Let me know during our discussion so I can create an adapted menu.

What is your culinary specialty?

My cuisine is traditional French revisited with a modern touch. I work with fresh, local products (Arcachon Bay oysters, fish from the market, vegetables from local producers) varying textures and flavors. Each menu is unique and custom-made.

Can I choose the menu?

Of course! The menu is created together based on your tastes, the season and the occasion. I propose several options and adapt to your preferences. It's a collaboration to make the meal truly yours.
