The personal touch
Your private chef, in person
When you secure a private chef in Dubai through my service, you engage me directly. I will be the one personally cooking at your stove, not a nameless face on a roster or an assistant sent in my stead. Having formed my career within France’s finest Michelin-starred kitchens, I have operated independently since 2016, bringing these exacting standards to Dubai in late 2024.
My menus celebrate the food of my Provençal childhood: premium olive oil, sun-ripened vegetables, aromatic herbs, and fresh fish from the South of France, elevated by classical technique. Once you share the vision for your evening, I design a custom menu and prepare it on-site in your kitchen, while my maître d’hôtel looks after your guests.

Culinary pedigree
Formed in the Michelin-starred kitchens of France
My foundational years were spent within legendary Michelin-starred institutions: Georges Blanc in Vonnas (3 stars), Château Saint-Martin in Vence (2 stars, working alongside Chef Yannick Franques), and Les Sources de Caudalie. This rigorous training mastered my approach to classic sauces, stocks, fish, game, and fine pastry, allowing me to launch my independent career in 2016.
This is the unyielding standard I bring to your table in Dubai, whether hosting an intimate dinner for two or an extensive gathering at your villa. My exceptional rating of 4.9 out of 5 across 35 Google reviews reflects the consistent quality upheld throughout my career.
