Private chef in Mauritius

Restaurant-quality dining in your villa

A private chef for villas in Grand Baie and the north, Tamarin and Le Morne in the west, Bel Ombre in the south and Belle Mare on the east coast. I cook every meal of your stay, from tropical breakfasts to fish cooked over fire on the beach.

Mauritian food blends Creole, Indian, Chinese and French cooking, so I work with rougaille, octopus curry, palm heart salad and dholl puri. The lagoons and open sea give me fresh tuna, snapper and octopus, and I use local vanilla, chillies, tamarind and island fruit. Mauritian rhum agricole from sugar cane finds its way into sauces and desserts.

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 Mauritius: good to know

Can you cook Mauritian dishes for the whole family, children included?

Yes. I cook milder versions for children and the full spice for adults at the same meal.

Is cyclone season a problem for a villa stay?

Cyclones can occur roughly from November to April. I watch the forecast and adapt menus and shopping if the weather turns.

How do I secure a date for a long stay?

A date is locked when a deposit of at least 60 percent is received. Until then it is only a hold.

Weddings

Getting married in Mauritius?

I cook weddings at beachfront villas, private lagoon-side estates and gardens facing Le Morne, from an intimate dinner to 500 guests. See wedding catering in Mauritius.
