A private chef in Rueil-Malmaison.

A private culinary experience in Rueil-Malmaison.

Rueil-Malmaison is one of the most sought-after towns in the Hauts-de-Seine: large properties with tree-lined gardens, 1930s villas, quiet residential districts close to the forest of Saint-Germain and the Seine. It also carries the gastronomic heritage of the Empire: the Château de Malmaison, Empress Joséphine's residence, recalls that the table has always been a matter of distinction here. A private chef comes to your property, cooks a gastronomic menu agreed with you, serves at the table and leaves your home as he found it.

For which occasions?

Dinners with friends and family

A menu of the season adapted to your group, cooking on site and attentive service, with no constraint for the host.

Meals in a property with grounds

A garden, a terrace, a pool? The private chef format is ideal for fine days in Rueil-Malmaison: a gastronomic barbecue, a terrace lunch, a dinner under the stars, designed around your outdoor space.

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.

Where we cook around Rueil-Malmaison.

Prémices works throughout Rueil-Malmaison, from the historic centre to Mont-Valérien and La Jonchère, and in neighbouring towns: Saint-Cloud, Suresnes, Nanterre, and Chatou, Croissy-sur-Seine and Le Vésinet in the neighbouring Yvelines, up to Saint-Germain-en-Laye.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a private chef in Rueil-Malmaison 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.
