I am Chef François Savin, your French private chef in Dubai, bringing the spirit of Provence to your home, villa or yacht. If you are looking to hire a private chef in Dubai, my personal chef service delivers a flawless home dining experience.

The personal touch

Your private chef, in person

When you secure a private dinner chef through my service, you engage me directly. Operating as a dedicated freelance chef in Dubai, I provide a premium at home chef service where every detail is crafted for your guests. 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 private chef dinner in Dubai, I design a custom menu and prepare it on-site in your kitchen, while my maître d’hôtel looks after your guests. This complete chef service at home ensures you can simply relax while your at home private chef handles every culinary requirement.

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, whether hosting an intimate dinner for two or acting as your villa chef in Dubai for an extensive gathering. My exceptional rating of 4.9 out of 5 across 35 Google reviews reflects the consistent quality upheld throughout my career.
