The Chef
Chef François Savin
Chef François Savin is a French private chef in Dubai, born in Provence, bringing the sun-drenched cuisine of the South of France to your residence or yacht.
Heritage
A Provençal chef at heart
Chef Savin’s culinary journey began in childhood, and the essence of Southern France has permanently defined his culinary style. The spirit of Provence inspires every creation: premium olive oil, freshly gathered herbs, the vibrant palette of the local market, and the warmth of an extended family table.
His cuisine is fundamentally ingredient-driven (generous, elegant, and uncomplicated), allowing you to experience the true essence of Provence with every course. This is the unyielding standard he brings directly to your table, whether in Dubai or on the Côte d’Azur.
Culinary pedigree
Formed in prestigious Michelin-starred kitchens
He refined his skills alongside some of the most celebrated culinary figures in the world, including the three-starred Georges Blanc in Vonnas (recognised as one of France’s historic masters), the two-starred Château Saint-Martin in Vence working with Chef Yannick Franques, and Les Sources de Caudalie in Martillac.
These formative years mastered his execution of classic sauces, rich stocks, delicate fish, game, and fine French pastry. He applies this exact technical mastery to every bespoke menu curated for your private dinner.
