A private chef in Toulon.

A private gastronomic experience in Toulon.

Toulon enjoys an exceptionally rich Mediterranean culinary heritage: rockfish from the harbour, bouillabaisse, aïoli, ratatouille with Provençal vegetables, Bandol and Côtes de Provence wines. The raw materials are there; it just takes a chef able to elevate them. A selected private chef comes to your home, composes a gastronomic menu from fresh seasonal produce, cooks on site, serves at the table and leaves your kitchen impeccably tidy. This is neither a classic caterer nor a meal delivery, but a live culinary service.

For which occasions?

Dinners with friends and family

The chef takes care of the whole meal while you enjoy your guests: a seasonal menu rooted in the flavours of the Var coast, careful plating and discreet service.

Birthdays and private events

Six around a table or twenty for a cocktail dinner: tasting menu, gastronomic buffet or tray service, adapted to your space.

Corporate events in Toulon

Villa and holiday stays

Staying in a villa or rental on the Var coast? The chef comes to your accommodation: ideal for a group of friends, a family retreat or a long weekend.

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.
