Bespoke menu
Designed around your guests, the season and your dietary preferences. Not a fixed list.
Jumeirah Bay
A waterfront dinner, designed around you
A residence on Jumeirah Bay, a Bvlgari villa, a quiet terrace above the lagoon — the chef brings refined French cuisine to your table, paced to the evening.
On the bay
A small footprint, a calm room
The chef adapts to the residence kitchen you have — his knives travel with him, his small equipment too. The brigade is calibrated to the headcount: a six-cover dinner stays one-chef-one-table; a larger format adds a maître d’hôtel and a sous-chef.
Names, addresses and photographs of guests stay between us. Discretion is the rule, not a feature.
What the evening looks like
Three quiet certainties
On-site cooking
François cooks in your residence kitchen — French technique, Mediterranean restraint, paced to a waterfront dinner.
Spotless exit
The kitchen is returned the way the chef found it. You wake up to your home, not to dishes.
The plate
Classical French, fish-led
The proximity to the water shapes the menu. A first course built around the day’s fish, a main centred on a precise cooking, a dessert that lands without slowing the dinner. The cuisine is classical French — produce-first, finished at the moment.
Halal menus prepared to Dubai’s standards, alongside vegetarian, gluten-free and bespoke dietary needs — built into the menu from the start, on request.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does the chef cook in residences on Jumeirah Bay?
Yes — Bvlgari Resort residences, Jumeirah Bay villas, and the surrounding waterfront properties. The chef adapts to the kitchen you have and brings what he needs.
A dinner facing the lagoon?
Yes, weather permitting. The menu is planned around what holds at temperature outdoors — fish that travels well, light starters, mains finished indoors and brought out at the moment.
A small intimate dinner?
A six-cover dinner is welcome. The chef plates and serves himself, the evening stays unhurried.
Can you prepare a fully halal residence menu?
Yes — halal menus are prepared to Dubai’s standards, built into the menu from the start, on request. Vegetarian, gluten-free and bespoke dietary needs follow the same approach. Classical French technique adapts cleanly, no compromise on the plate.
