Private chef in Corsica

Restaurant-quality dining in your villa

I cook for villas around Porto-Vecchio, Palombaggia and Bonifacio in the south, and around Calvi, Saint-Florent, Ajaccio and Cap Corse further north. Island dinners, villa stays and weddings among the maquis and granite are what I cook here.

Corsica gives me brocciu, the fresh ewe’s and goat’s milk cheese, charcuterie like lonzu, coppa and prisuttu, chestnut flour from the forests of the interior, maquis honey and clementines in winter. I cook lamb and fish over fire with myrtle and wild herbs, and pour wines from Patrimonio and Ajaccio made from Niellucciu, Sciaccarellu and Vermentinu.

I have spent a decade in Michelin-starred kitchens, as Sous Chef of R&D in the Noma group and Head Chef at Kokkeriet, and I bring that standard to every table I cook for. My story.

Questions

Private chef in Corsica: good to know

Can you cook with Corsican ingredients like brocciu and chestnut flour?

Yes. I build menus around brocciu, chestnut flour, charcuterie and maquis herbs, depending on the season.

Do you cook in both the north and south of Corsica?

Yes. Travel and accommodation are added to the quote, and I plan menus and shopping before I arrive.

Can we forage in the maquis with you?

Yes, in season. The maquis is full of wild herbs like myrtle and rosemary, and I can turn a walk into a cooking session.

Weddings

Getting married in Corsica?

I cook weddings at villas above the sea, stone hamlets and vineyard estates, from an intimate dinner to 500 guests. See wedding catering in Corsica.
