In your kitchen
François cooks at the venue — produce sourced the morning of, plating finished at the moment, dishes served while they are still hot.
The Chef
Chef François Savin
French chef, classically trained, working in your home — not a platform dispatching an interchangeable kitchen.
Origins
From Provence to your table
A graduate of Lycée Raymond Mondon (Metz, 2005), François trained in the classical French kitchen — produce-first, technique-first, precision in plating and a respect for the season. Independent since 2016, he built his table on the French Riviera, based in Vence.
Since late 2024, he splits his time between the Côte d’Azur and Dubai — bringing the same kitchen, the same standards, to a different stage.
Classical French training
Trained alongside seven Michelin-starred chefs
Notably Restaurant Georges Blanc in Vonnas (3 stars at the time), Château Saint-Martin in Vence (2 stars at the time, alongside chef Yannick Franques) and Les Sources de Caudalie in Martillac.
A pedigree of classical French technique — sauces, fonds, fish, game, pâtisserie — carried into every menu he cooks today.
In Dubai
A French chef who comes to your home
The dominant private-chef offer in Dubai sends a different cook every time — a platform with interchangeable kitchens. Here you book one person, by name: François. He cooks himself, plates himself, and brings a small brigade only when the format calls for it.
The discretion of a European chef. The quiet luxury of a service designed around the host, not around the service.
The way the chef works
Three quiet commitments
Halal & dietary preferences
Halal menus prepared to Dubai’s standards, alongside vegetarian, gluten-free and bespoke dietary needs — built into the menu from the start, on request. Classical French technique, no compromise on the plate.
A clean exit
The kitchen is returned the way it was found. You spend the evening at the table, and the morning after looks as if no one had been there.
