Morning market
Your chef walks the market at daybreak and chooses the produce that will define your menu.
Paris · Private Chef
Your private chef in Paris.
A Michelin-starred or Meilleur Ouvrier de France chef takes over your kitchen. You simply arrive at the table, the market, the menu, the plating and the service are ours to compose.
What it is
The chef comes to you, the evening comes to life.
A private Prémices chef arrives at your Paris residence with a menu composed for your evening. The market has been walked at first light, the produce chosen by hand. From your kitchen, they cook, plate and serve, discreetly, precisely, exactly the way you would have hoped.
- The chef and their team arrive early to prepare in your kitchen.
- Menu composed for your table, from a walked morning market.
- Plating and service in your dining room, quietly orchestrated.
- Your kitchen left immaculate at the end of the evening.
How the evening unfolds
An evening composed in four movements.
Aperitif in your salon
Your guests arrive. Amuse-bouches and a first pour are served while the kitchen quietly comes to life.
Courses at the table
Each course is plated in your kitchen and brought to the table, introduced with a word, served with restraint.
Dessert & farewell
Dessert, coffee and a last word from the chef. Your kitchen is left immaculate; the memory is yours to keep.
The chefs
Michelin-starred. Meilleurs Ouvriers de France.
The chefs Prémices brings to your table are recognised at the highest level of French cuisine, Michelin stars, the title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France, and years spent in the kitchens that define the discipline. They accept private evenings for a handful of hosts a year.
Discretion is not a promise; it is the register. No photographs unless you invite them. No names shared outside of your evening. The exigency of a starred kitchen, quietly delivered into your home.
Occasions
The evenings we compose.
Intimate dinner
A quiet table, for a chosen few
Six or eight guests, a menu written for the evening, a chef at the pass in your kitchen. Nothing else in the room but the people you love.
Celebration
A milestone worth remembering
A birthday, an anniversary, a proposal, composed as a private tasting menu, poured with the right glass, timed to the minute.
Gathering
A larger evening, held to the same standard
Twelve to thirty guests around a single conversation. The service scales; the register does not.
Personal chef in Paris
Private chef, personal chef, one address book.
Private chef, personal chef, chef at home: the words change, the idea does not. A chef from a great kitchen cooks for you, in your own dining room, for a single evening or a regular table. No restaurant booking, no set menu, only what you feel like eating.
We cook across Paris and the west, from the 7th, 8th and 16th to Saint-Germain, Neuilly, Boulogne and Levallois. Unlike a caterer, the chef cooks live in your kitchen and plates each course to order. Tell us your address; the chef comes to you.
- Right Bank and Left Bank, and the west of Paris.
- A one-off dinner or a regular private table.
- Cooked live in your kitchen, plated to order.

Plan your evening in ParisFrequently asked questions
How much does a private chef cost in Paris?
A Prémices private chef in Paris starts from $170 per guest for a full bespoke dinner cooked and served in your home. The final price depends on the menu, the number of guests and the chef.
What is the difference between a private chef and a caterer?
A private chef cooks live in your kitchen and plates each course to order, like a restaurant brought to your table. A caterer prepares food off-site and delivers it. Prémices chefs cook in front of you.
Which areas of Paris do you cover?
All of Paris and the west, from the 7th, 8th and 16th to Saint-Germain, Neuilly, Boulogne and Levallois. Our chefs also travel to the French Riviera, the Alps, Biarritz and Corsica.
Can the chef cook for allergies or special diets?
Yes. Every menu is bespoke, and the chef adapts to allergies, vegetarian, vegan or any preference agreed before the dinner.
