Private chef in St Barths

Restaurant-quality dining in your villa

A private chef for luxury villas and yachts in St Barths, from Gustavia to Lorient and Saint-Jean. Holiday stays over Christmas and New Year, tasting dinners on the terrace and celebrations on the beach.

The island blends French technique with Caribbean produce: spiny lobster, mahi-mahi and wahoo, tropical fruit, citrus and spice. Much of the pantry arrives from France, so I plan the shopping ahead of each stay.

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.
