Private Chef — La Table Privée
A chef in residence at your villa — market-driven menus, French-Caribbean technique, from one celebration dinner to a full-stay culinary residency.
From 450 € / dinner
La Table Privée is the heart of the house, because the kitchen is our founding métier. Menus are written each morning from the Gustavia market and the fishermen's landing at Corossol: mahi-mahi, langouste in season, Guadeloupean produce arriving by boat. The repertoire moves between French technique and Caribbean instinct — a ceviche of the morning's catch, a langouste roasted over coals, a passion-fruit soufflé to close. Formats range from a single dinner to the full residency (two meals daily, provisioning included). Every menu is written for your table: dietary constraints, children's service, kosher and halal on request. We cook in your villa's kitchen and leave it cleaner than we found it.
