Receiving without constraint

A private chef for an unforgettable birthday: host with ease, celebrate fully

Every age

30, 40, 50, 70, 80 years old: a format suited for each key age

The chef adjusts the format to the type of birthday being celebrated:

  • Children (4-12 years old): pizza party in the mobile oven, Fun sushi workshop or a buffet of homemade mini-burgers.
  • Adolescents and young adults: Taco bar, revisited raclette, Giant outdoor plancha or Late brunch.
  • 30-40 years old: dining cocktail, gastronomic dinner with pairing of food and wine or Italian-style table.
  • 50, 60, 70 years old: Grand dinner in several courses, signature dishes and a dessert of the house.
  • 80s and 90s: Family lunch seated around traditional dishes dear to the person being celebrated.
  • Two-on-two or in small groups: our formula intimate meal.

Surprise

The surprise effect: a menu secretly built around the celebrated person

Before the performance, the chef talks with you, the organizer, to get a sense of the celebrant's tastes: favorite dishes, childhood memories, region of origin, memorable trips. The revisited blanquette from Grandma, pasta in memory of Naples: the menu becomes an emotional journey.

  • The chef arrives early and prepares in the closed kitchen
  • He presents the menu himself or remains in the background, depending on your preference
  • For staggered arrivals, the timing is tailored to suit you in advance

All the guests

Managing guests of very different ages and diets in a single menu

Where a caterer provides a single menu, the private chef orchestrates the entire service in a single service, prepared in advance using a guest list.

  • Children: adapted versions of adult dishes, served first so that they can play with them afterwards.
  • Diets and allergies: Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free.
  • Religious practices: Halal, kosher, no pork, no alcohol.
  • Senior citizens: a service that doesn't take forever and light dishes.

Frequently Asked Questions about Private Chefs for a Birthday

What budget should I plan for a birthday party at home with a chef?

The budget depends on the chef, the number of guests, the format and the menu chosen. As a guide: from €60 per person for a children's birthday with pizza party and cake; from €75 per person for a classic birthday dinner with entrée, main course and dessert, with a personalized cake; from €110 per person for a gastronomic multi-service dinner with wine pairing; from €140 per person for a prestigious birthday (50, 60, 70 years) with an exceptional menu, noble products and a brigade. Drinks are generally not included (at your expense or extra). For large tables (30 or more guests), the unit price decreases but additional brigade fees are added. All quotes are personalized and non-binding.

Can you organize a children's birthday party with a private chef?

Absolutely, it is also a very popular format. Several possible variations: pizza party with a mobile pizza oven installed in the garden, where the children make their own dough and choose their toppings; playful sushi workshop for 8-12 year olds; homemade mini-burgers buffet; giant barbecue; festive brunch. It is both a meal, an activity, and a show: parents gain 2 to 3 hours of peace and quiet, and the children cook with a real chef. Ideal format for 8 to 20 children; birthday party with a personalized cake included. Specify the age of the children to adapt the menu and the complexity of the workshop.

Can the chef prepare a custom birthday cake?

Yes, and it is even one of the highlights of a birthday with a chef. Several options: a classic cake revisited by a chef (layer cake with seasonal fruits, strawberry, opera, religious cakes arranged in a pyramid, chocolate cake), a dessert for special events, a themed cake around a passion, a trip or a profession of the person being celebrated, a photo cake. Several of our chefs come from the pastry world: Kajetan, trained at the Ferrandi school and trained at the Bar des Prés with Cyril Lignac, Yannis, pastry chef at Verger des Kouros, or Johan, former pastry chef. The cake is brought at the time of the singing, with candles or fountain candles. Specify your wishes (flavors, colors, theme, message to be written) during the contact.

How far in advance should you book a chef for a birthday party?

During the standard season (September to June, excluding holidays), a period of 3 to 4 weeks allows for a wide selection of chefs available. For large-scale anniversaries (more than 40 guests, anniversary in a bastide or a rented venue), expect 6 to 8 weeks. For periods of high demand (June-July in the PACA region and on the Côte d'Azur, December everywhere), reserve 8 to 12 weeks in advance. For children's anniversaries during peak season (May-June and September-October, on Saturdays), plan for a minimum of 4 to 6 weeks. In case of unforeseen circumstances, a last-minute reservation (48 to 72 hours) is sometimes possible: availability depends on chefs still available.
