A private chef in Saint-Tropez.

From the old town to Pampelonne, Ramatuelle to Gassin, a Michelin-level chef composes a bespoke menu in your villa, above the beach or on the terrace at sunset, wherever your summer in the gulf takes you. No restaurant, no reservation, only your table.

The calibre

Chefs from starred kitchens, service from grand palaces.

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.

The chefs and maîtres d’hôtel who cook and serve in the finest Parisian houses travel to the gulf for your summer. Every maître d’hôtel is tested, trained in the grand palaces. The welcome, the rhythm, the silence between courses: nothing is left to chance.

Tropezien kitchens

One gulf, every cuisine.

You set the register of the evening; we bring the chef who owns it. Each comes from a great kitchen, and each carries a signature of their own.

Haute gastronomie

The full grammar of a starred kitchen: tasting menus, exact sauces, a plate that would belong among the finest tables of the gulf. An evening that feels like a great restaurant kept for you alone.

Mediterranean & Provençal

The Mediterranean on the plate: sea bass and gambas from the port, tomatoes and basil, olive oil, a tarte tropézienne to finish. The cuisine the coast was made for, a chilled rosé within reach.

Cuisines of the world

A Japanese omakase at the counter, a white-truffle dinner from Piedmont, a Levantine table under the stars. When your evening wants to travel, the chef travels with it.

Pastry & the sweet finale

A dedicated pastry chef for the last act: a soufflé that arrives to the minute, a dessert finished at the table. The evening closes with the same intent it opened.

The gulf & the hills

From Saint-Tropez to Ramatuelle.

Wherever your summer address is around the gulf of Saint-Tropez, the chef comes to you. Villa above Pampelonne, beach club, hilltop bastide or aboard.

Provence rosé & fine wine

A sommelier, and the bottles to match.

Great food deserves the glass beside it. Our sommelier composes the pairing course by course: a chilled Côtes de Provence rosé to open, a white Cassis or Burgundy with the fish, a great Bandol or Bordeaux with the main, a Champagne to close.

Tell us the register, discovery, prestige, or a single grower you love, and we source it: rare vintages, magnums, cuvées that never reach a wine list. Or we simply pour alongside the cellar you already keep. Champagne on arrival is a given.

Cooking classes

Cook beside the chef.

Some afternoons are best spent with your hands in the work. The chef turns your villa kitchen into a studio: a market walk if you like, a menu built together, techniques you keep for good, and a table you finally sit down to because you made it.

A couple, a family, a group of friends by the pool. Aprons, knives, produce and a chef who teaches the way the best ones do, generously. The class becomes the dinner.

The service

A dinner served, not only cooked.

A beautiful meal can be undone by a room left to itself. Add a maître d’hôtel and a service team, and the evening runs on its own: aperitifs poured on the terrace, plates carried in rhythm, glasses never empty, the kitchen invisible, the host finally seated among the guests.

Every maître d’hôtel is tested before they serve for us and trained in the grand palaces. The welcome, the timing, the silence between courses: nothing is left to you but the evening itself.

Beyond the dinner

Whatever the summer asks for.

A private dinner is the heart of it. Around it, the house arranges the rest of the season.

Receptions

Cocktails & garden parties

Passed canapés and live stations for a terrace full of guests, from an intimate birthday to a summer gala.

Spectacle

Culinary entertainment

A live counter, a chef’s table, a moment of fire and knives. Dinner becomes the heart of the evening rather than a pause in it.

On the water

Yacht & villa dining

The chef comes aboard or up to the estate, provisions in hand, for lunch at anchor or a dinner under the stars.

At scale

Full-service catering

Larger numbers, full logistics: kitchen, service, tableware and flowers. We bring the whole evening; you bring the guests.

No villa? We know the gulf.

Addresses that never reach a booking site.

No estate of your own on the gulf, or simply the wish for somewhere exceptional? We open off-market villas above Pampelonne, beachfront estates and hilltop bastides, from Saint-Tropez to Ramatuelle.

We source the place, you keep the evening.
