A private chef in Seine-et-Marne.

A gastronomic experience at home, throughout the 77.

Seine-et-Marne is a department of contrasts: to the west, the residential towns of Marne-la-Vallée and Bussy-Saint-Georges close to Paris; to the east and south, large houses, country estates and second homes around Fontainebleau, Provins and Meaux. A selected private chef comes to you, creates a gastronomic menu from fresh seasonal produce, cooks on site, serves at the table and leaves your kitchen perfectly tidy. This is neither a meal delivery nor a classic caterer, but a live culinary service.

For which occasions?

Dinners in large country houses

The department has many large properties, manor houses and homes with gardens where entertaining takes on a special dimension. Whether six or twenty guests, the service follows the layout of your home and the style of evening you want.

Family birthdays and private celebrations

Tasting menu, gastronomic buffet or cocktail dinner: Prémices adapts the formula to the number of guests and the space available.

Country weekends and holiday rentals

The forest of Fontainebleau, the area around Provins and the banks of the Marne attract families and groups of friends every year. Renting a house or villa for the weekend? The chef comes to your rental and takes care of shopping, cooking, service and clean-up.

Corporate events

The Marne-la-Vallée business area and the head offices and campuses in the 77 generate regular demand for quality professional events: executive dinners, year-end parties, client receptions and gastronomic seminars, in your premises or a partner venue. 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.

Chefs selected for the 77.

Every chef in our network has passed a rigorous selection before cooking for a client: a cooking test in real conditions, assessment of plating, hygiene checks, punctuality and professional manner. They master French gastronomic and contemporary bistronomic cooking, Mediterranean, Italian and Asian cuisine, and vegetarian or vegan menus on request, always built on seasonal produce and local producers, including the region's famous AOP Brie de Meaux. For tastings and cheese workshops, some of our hosts are Meilleurs Ouvriers de France.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a private chef in Seine-et-Marne 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.
