French Gastronomy Meets the Adriatic

Montenegro's coast is one of Europe's most breathtaking destinations. Crystal-clear waters, the UNESCO-listed Bay of Kotor, preserved stone villages and a cuisine rich with Adriatic seafood, Njeguši ham and characterful local wines.

As your private chef, I combine my French culinary training with the exceptional local ingredients of Montenegro. From intimate villa dinners overlooking the sea to yacht catering as you sail the Bay of Kotor—I create unforgettable dining experiences.

  • Adriatic Excellence

    Mussels from the Bay of Kotor, fresh Adriatic fish, Njeguši ham, Ulcinj olive oil: I source the best Montenegro has to offer.

  • Yacht Specialist

    Experienced in galley kitchens of all sizes. I coordinate with your crew for seamless service at sea.

  • Full Coast Coverage

    Budva, Tivat, Kotor, Perast, Herceg Novi, Ulcinj: I travel wherever your Montenegrin stay takes you.

What a private chef changes in Montenegro

Between the Bay of Kotor and the Budva coast, Montenegro is best discovered from a villa. Your table follows the same art of living.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about hiring a private chef in Montenegro

How much does a private chef cost in Montenegro?

Rates range from €400 to €600 per day depending on the package. This includes market shopping, meal preparation, table service, and complete kitchen cleanup. Groceries and wines are billed separately at cost with receipts provided.

How many guests do the rates cover?

The package rates apply for 1 to 10 guests. Beyond that:
• 11 to 15 guests: an additional €100/day supplement applies to the chosen package.
• 16 to 20 guests: I recommend adding a server at €220/day to maintain the quality of table service.
For groups over 20 guests, please contact me directly — we'll size the team (chef + assistants + servers) according to the desired format.

What is the minimum booking duration?

The minimum stay is 4 days. This allows time to create a proper culinary journey, source the best local ingredients, and truly settle into a rhythm that enhances your holiday.

Do you offer yacht catering services?

Absolutely. Yacht catering is one of my specialties. I have experience cooking in galleys of all sizes, coordinate with your captain and crew, source provisions before and during your cruise, and can prepare everything from casual lunches to formal dinners at sea.

Which areas of Montenegro do you cover?

I serve the entire Montenegrin coast: the Bay of Kotor (Kotor, Perast, Tivat and Porto Montenegro, Herceg Novi), the Budva Riviera (Budva, Sveti Stefan, Petrovac), as well as Bar and Ulcinj in the south. For yacht charters, I can join at any port along the Montenegrin coast.

Where do you source ingredients?

I work with local markets and suppliers: the Kotor and Tivat markets, fishermen in each port, mussel farmers in the Bay of Kotor, winemakers from the Crmnica region and producers of Njeguši ham and cheese. I know where to find the best of everything.

Can you accommodate dietary requirements?

Yes, I adapt all menus to your needs: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergies, kosher, halal, or specific preferences. Montenegro's abundance of fresh seafood, vegetables, and olive oil makes it easy to accommodate almost any diet beautifully.
