Chef à demeure - Book your home chef service for several days

What if you could enjoy the talents of a chef in your own home, not just for one dinner, but for several days?
With Guide MyTable, discover the exclusive concept of the chef à demeure: a private chef who moves into your home for the duration of your stay, to orchestrate all your meals with elegance, discretion and creativity.
Whether it's for a family vacation, a gourmet retreat, an extended event or a getaway with friends, our in-house chefs offer a unique experience: the freedom to enjoy exceptional cuisine, without leaving your home, villa or property.

A kitchen made to measure, day after day

Menus to suit your stay

Each day is designed as a gustatory journey.

The in-house chef prepares different, balanced menus for each of your meals:

  • Gourmet breakfasts: homemade pastries, fresh juices, seasonal fruit, balanced recipes.
  • Light or convivial lunches: salads, grilled meats, freshly prepared and shared dishes.
  • Gastronomic dinners: refined dishes, meticulous presentation and wine pairings.

Everything is designed to suit your preferences, eating habits and desired ambience: family meal, romantic dinner, chic barbecue or exceptional table.

The art of adapting to your tastes

Before your stay, the private chef will talk to you about your tastes, allergies, dietary restrictions or special wishes.

You decide the frequency of meals, the style of cooking and the degree of involvement you wish to have.
Some customers like to participate and chat, while others prefer to enjoy discreet, comprehensive service: the in-house chef adapts to each guest with the same exacting standards.

Local products and seasonal cuisine

Our in-house chefs give priority to local produce and short supply chains. Depending on the region of your stay, they select the best producers:

  • Fruits and vegetables from local growers
  • Fish from the day's catch
  • Meat from regional breeders
  • Local cheeses and wines

Each meal becomes a regional gastronomic discovery, a tribute to French culinary diversity.

Responsible, refined cuisine

Because today's luxury goes hand in hand with sustainability, our private chefs adopt a respectful approach: reasoned portion management, anti-waste cooking, use of organic and seasonal ingredients.

The luxury of comfort and discretion

An attentive but discreet presence

The live-in chef becomes part of your environment without ever imposing. Present at your side, he remains discreet, professional and attentive to your needs.
He takes charge of the entire kitchen:

  • Product purchasing and storage
  • Meal preparation
  • Dressage and table service
  • Complete kitchen cleaning

So you can enjoy your stay as if you were in a luxury hotel, but with the privacy of your own home.

An ideal service for top-of-the-range stays

Our chefs à demeure often work in exceptional locations: villas in Provence, Alpine chalets, vacation homes on the Côte d'Azur, private estates or second homes.

Frequently asked questions about Chef à demeure

What is a chef à demeure?
A chef à demeure is a private chef who temporarily moves into your home to cook for you and your guests on a daily basis. Unlike a one-off service, a chef à demeure can work over several days, weeks or months, particularly during a villa vacation, a family holiday or a private event.
What's the difference between a home chef and an in-house chef?
An in-home chef generally comes in for a one-off meal or a special occasion. An in-house chef, on the other hand, sets up for a longer period and takes charge of all meals during your stay, whether for a few days or several weeks.
Why book an in-house chef?
The services of an in-house chef are often booked for villa vacations, family stays, private events, corporate seminars or high-end stays in destinations such as Paris, Cannes, Nice or Saint-Tropez.
How much does a live-in chef cost?
The cost of an in-house chef depends on the length of the assignment, the number of guests and the level of gastronomy required. In general, an in-house private chef is billed by the day or week, and prices may vary according to the products used and services included.
Does the resident chef do the shopping?
Yes, in most cases the in-house chef can manage the selection and purchase of products to guarantee the quality of the ingredients. Shopping can be included in the service or billed separately, depending on the organization chosen.
Can menus be adapted to suit dietary requirements?
Yes, our in-house chefs adapt their menus to suit dietary preferences and constraints: vegetarian, gluten-free, food allergies or personalized gourmet cooking.
