Private chef in the Seychelles

Restaurant-quality dining in your villa

A private chef for villas on Mahé, Praslin and La Digue, from Beau Vallon and the south of Mahé to the beaches of Anse Lazio on Praslin. I cook Creole flavours with a light hand, from grilled fish on the beach to tasting dinners on the terrace.

Seychellois Creole cooking gives me octopus curry, fresh red snapper and jobfish, breadfruit and coconut. I grill whole fish over fire with lime, ginger and chilli, cook breadfruit in the embers, and use the islands’ cinnamon and vanilla in desserts. Takamaka rum from Mahé rounds off the evening.

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 the Seychelles: good to know

Can you cook on Praslin or La Digue as well as Mahé?

Yes. I plan inter-island travel and deliveries in advance. Yes. Travel and accommodation are added to the quote, and I plan menus and shopping before I arrive.

Is fresh produce easy to find on the islands?

Fish and tropical fruit are excellent, but many other ingredients are imported, so I order ahead and plan the menu around what is reliably available.

Can you grill the fish on the beach?

Yes. Whole fish grilled over fire on the sand is one of the best meals in the Seychelles.

Weddings

Getting married in the Seychelles?

I cook weddings at beachfront villas, granite-lined coves and tropical gardens on Mahé, Praslin and La Digue, from an intimate dinner to 500 guests. See wedding catering in the Seychelles.
