What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

In-home meal: (4-20 guests) Enjoy an elegant private chef dining experience in your villa in Cannes or the French Riviera with Chef Noel. Inspired by the flavors of Provençal and Southern French cuisine, Chef Noel will prepare a seasonal menu using the freshest local ingredients sourced from nearby markets. Your private dining experience includes 4 finger foods, 2 appetizers, 2 main courses (meat, fish or vegetarian options), a cheese course, and dessert. Menu selections are made in advance for the group, with two appetizers and two main courses served for everyone to enjoy. The meal can be served plated, family-style, or buffet-style, depending on your preference and the style of your event. Chef Noel takes care of every detail, from sourcing ingredients and grocery shopping to cooking, service, and cleanup, so you can relax and enjoy the evening with your guests. Chef Noel is happy to accommodate dietary restrictions and tailor the menu to your preferences. Please review the sample menu in the photo gallery. Vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free requests can be accommodated - just let Chef Noel know your dietary needs at the time of booking so he can customize the menu and prepare accordingly. Beverages are not included; guests are welcome to bring their preferred wine or drinks to pair with the meal.

Notes: Cancellation Policy: A 14-day cancellation policy applies instead of the standard 48-hour policy. To receive a full refund (minus a payment processing fee), please cancel at least 14 days prior to your experience.
