A private chef in the Yvelines.

A private chef who comes to you in the Yvelines.

Large properties with gardens in Versailles, bourgeois houses in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, contemporary villas in Maisons-Laffitte or Le Vésinet: the Yvelines offer spaces where entertaining should match the setting. The chef comes to you with fresh produce, cooks on site, plates and serves, and tidies the kitchen before leaving. You are free to enjoy your guests.

For which occasions?

Dinners with friends and family

Entertaining in the Yvelines often means a spacious, bright setting: a house with a garden, a characterful salon, a sheltered terrace. The chef prepares a bespoke gastronomic menu and handles everything.

Romantic dinners

A dinner for two in a Versailles house or a Saint-Germain-en-Laye property: two or three courses, careful plating and discreet service between dishes, at your pace.

Birthdays and private events

Summer garden parties, cocktail dinners on the terrace, gastronomic buffets indoors: the formula adapts from an intimate dinner to a table of fifteen or twenty.

Corporate events

The department has major business hubs in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, Vélizy-Villacoublay and Poissy. Prémices handles executive dinners, year-end parties, client receptions and gastronomic seminars, in your premises or a partner venue. References include Air Liquide, LVMH, IBM and Bouygues Construction.

Rentals in the Yvelines

Staying in a rented villa or property for a weekend or special occasion? The chef comes to your rental, shops, cooks, serves and tidies up.

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 Yvelines 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.
