Private ChefSydney

I'm a French chef who loves to cook fine foo and provide a great service. I aim to select beautiful local produces. I pay extra care to table setting.

How they describe their cooking

I have been Sydney based for 10 years where I have met passionate people, great produce and a vibrant coffee community.

I am a French Chef with 20 years of experience in fine restaurants and hotels. Born and raised in the surroundings of Paris – I have always been keen to travel allowing me to discover new food and meet people. I worked overseas which has enhanced my culinary curiosity and my adaptability – as well as my will to share my French skills.

I aim to pick seasonal produce and organic ingredients with local farmers and suppliers. My food target is to cook healthy and dynamic dishes to be more energetic and have a better effective mind.

In their guests' words

Pierre was professional, engaging, and his service was as good as the food. He recommended wines, gave (and stuck to) timings for when dishes would come out and managed to refill our drinks, engage in banter, cook and plate the food beautifully, and serve it as if he were two or three people. A brilliant experience, would highly recommend.
Brendan C.February 2025
Pierre completely met our expectations, and efficiently and quietly produced and served two outstanding meals. He then left the kitchen spotless.
Edward G.December 2024

Mandana N.December 2023
Pierre was fantastic. Great food, service and would highly recommend. Can’t wait to use him again
Emma-Jane N.November 2023
We will always remember the lovely night we had in our garden with Pierre serving his fantastic food up to us, far more personal than being in a restaurant - and such a lovely change to be at home and not have to lift a finger! Thanks Pierre the whole evening was fabulous. Love that entree especially - satay powder - who’d have thought!
