A private chef in the Hauts-de-Seine.

A private chef in the Hauts-de-Seine.

The Hauts-de-Seine is the wealthiest department in France: upscale residences in Neuilly-sur-Seine, apartments with terraces in Boulogne-Billancourt, bourgeois houses in Saint-Cloud or Meudon, contemporary villas in Suresnes or Rueil-Malmaison. All settings where entertaining calls for a culinary experience to match. The chef comes to you with seasonal produce, cooks on site, plates, serves and tidies the kitchen before leaving.

For which occasions?

Dinners with family and friends

An upper-floor apartment with a view, a generous salon, a rooftop terrace: the chef prepares a bespoke gastronomic menu and you enjoy the evening without any logistics.

Romantic dinners

A dinner for two in Neuilly-sur-Seine, in Saint-Cloud facing the park or in an apartment overlooking the Seine in Issy-les-Moulineaux: two or three courses built with you, careful plating and discreet service.

Birthdays and private events

Cocktail dinners on the terrace, gastronomic buffets indoors, plated service for a table with character: from an intimate dinner to a reception for fifteen or twenty.

Corporate events

The department has an exceptional density of companies and head offices, particularly around La Défense, Courbevoie, Puteaux and Nanterre. Prémices handles executive dinners, year-end parties, client receptions and gastronomic seminars, in your premises or one of our exceptional venues. References include LVMH, Air Liquide and IBM.

How it works.

• Your brief. Tell us the date, place, number of guests and culinary wishes. We come back to you quickly.
• Chef and menu. We choose the best-suited chef and submit a bespoke gastronomic menu for your approval.
• On the day. The chef arrives about an hour and a half before the meal with fresh produce, cooks on site and serves at the table.
• Afterwards. He leaves your kitchen clean and tidy. You have nothing to manage.

Selected chefs, not an open list.

Prémices is not a matchmaking platform where any cook can sign up. Every chef who joins the network is assessed on concrete criteria: punctuality, quality of plating, hygiene standards, the ability to adapt a menu to the client's constraints and wishes, and the gastronomic level the occasion calls for. That process guarantees consistent quality from one dinner to the next, as our 4.9/5 Google rating reflects. The network covers a wide range of styles (French gastronomic, Italian, Japanese including sushi and kaiseki specialists, Mediterranean, Lebanese, vegetarian, vegan), and some of our chefs and sommeliers hold the title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France for tastings and workshops.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a private chef in the Hauts-de-Seine cost?

Every Prémices service is quoted to measure, according to the number of guests, the complexity of the menu and the options chosen (floor service, wine pairing). Reference points are on our pricing page.

What is included?

The chef buys the fresh produce, prepares and cooks on site, serves at the table and clears the kitchen at the end of the evening, using your tableware. Drinks are not included unless agreed. For a complete experience with sommelier or maître d'hôtel, see our private chef service.

How many guests can a private chef cook for?

From two people for a romantic dinner to twenty guests and more for a private reception or corporate event. The format is set when preparing the quote, and Prémices matches the chef and arrangements to the size of the group.
