The chef
A Prémices chef designs and cooks a bespoke tasting menu in your own kitchen. You simply host.
- Bespoke menu, composed with you
- Market sourcing on the day
- Cooked on site, before your guests
- Kitchen left impeccable
From the chef alone to a full grand-palace evening, with service, a dressed table and a sommelier. Transparent starting rates, per guest. Every menu composed, and quoted, for you.
Our chefs come from Michelin-starred restaurants, and several hold a star of their own. They cook the way France’s finest kitchens cook, at your table, for one evening.
Every maître d’hôtel is tested before they ever serve for us, and trained in the grand palaces of Paris. The welcome, the rhythm, the silence between courses: nothing is left to chance.
In Paris, a private chef runs from about 60 to over 550 dollars per guest, depending on the kind of provider and the level of service. Three families share the market.
Booking platforms list a wide choice of independent chefs, usually 60 to 170 dollars per guest. You compare profiles, menus and reviews, then book yourself. The right fit if you enjoy choosing, and your dinner stays simple to arrange.
Independent chefs, booked directly: one name, one style, often 110 to 280 dollars per guest. The relationship is personal, but availability rests on a single person, and service, tableware and wine are yours to handle. The right fit if you already have your chef, for a straightforward occasion.
Orchestration houses like Prémices select the chefs, compose the menu with you and coordinate everything: chef, table service, fine tableware, and a sommelier pairing if you wish, from about 170 dollars per guest. One contact carries the evening end to end. The right fit for a reception, a dinner that matters, or whenever you would rather not manage a thing.
In Paris, prices include service and taxes, and no tip is expected.
