Gastronomy · Private Chef at Home · Strasbourg
When your living room becomes the best table in Strasbourg — the art of orchestrating an exceptional dinner at home.
There are restaurants. And there is your own table. The one where the chef cooks only for your guests, where the menu is designed around your tastes, where the wines are chosen with the precision of a private sommelier, and where every detail — from the tablecloth to the candles — tells a story. In Strasbourg, the Alsatian gastronomic tradition and the excellence of local chefs make this experience particularly successful.
Step 1: choose the right chef
Strasbourg and Alsace are home to the highest density of starred chefs per capita in France. Our network of private chefs includes varied profiles:
Formers of star brigades — trained at Haeberlin (L'Auberge de l'Ill), Westermann (Le Buerehiesel), Nasti (Le Chambard). They master great Alsatian cuisine and present it with impeccable technical precision.
Contemporary creatives — young chefs who are reinventing the Alsatian region with Asian, Nordic or plant-based influences. Perfect for customers who want to surprise their guests.
Thematic specialists — high-end sushi chef, Italian chef trained in Emilia-Romagna, MOF pastry chef. When dinner calls for a precise register.
Our role is to match the chef with the occasion, the number of guests and the customer's tastes. After a confidential interview, we offer two or three profiles with reference menus.
The menu is the heart of the dinner. For a prestigious dinner in Strasbourg, the great revisited classics always work: Alsace foie gras in symphony (semi-cooked, pan-fried, in a terrine), Rhine pikeperch in a gingerbread crust, saddle of Vosges venison, frozen soufflé with Marc de Gewurztraminer.
But the best dinners are the ones that tell a story. A menu entirely built around products from a single producer. A “late harvest” dinner where each dish is accompanied by a different sweet wine. A gourmet plant-based menu that transforms market vegetables into works of art. Our team and the chef design together the culinary story of your evening.
Step 3: wines and food pairing
Alsace is one of the rare regions where every dish can be accompanied by an exceptional local wine. Our consulting sommelier composes the wine list according to the menu:
Crémant d’Alsace brut nature for an aperitif. Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg for iodized starters. Late Harvest Pinot Gris for foie gras. Pinot Noir from Marlenheim or Ottrott for meats. Gewurztraminer Selection of Noble Grains for desserts. Each bottle is selected, decanted if necessary, and served at the optimal temperature.
Step 4: table design
An exceptional dinner is also played out in the visual details: linen tablecloth and napkins (Beauville, prestigious Alsatian textile), fine crockery (Niderviller, Sarreguemines or Bernardaud porcelain rental), crystal glassware (Lalique, Alsatian factory), tailor-made floral arrangements (our partner florist knows your preferences), calibrated candlelight to create intimacy without affecting the readability of the plates.
Step 5: service and indoor ballet
For a dinner of 8 to 12 guests, we deploy a chef, a commis and a maître d'. For 20 guests or more, the team expands according to the format (seated dinner, elegant buffet, cocktail dinner). The service is discreet, precise, invisible — the plates arrive at the right time, the glasses are never empty, and the conversations are never interrupted.
After dinner: invisible cleaning
This is perhaps the service most appreciated by our customers: when the last guests leave, our team takes care of the complete cleaning. The next morning, your kitchen is immaculate, your dishes put away, your tablecloths delivered to the dry cleaners. As if the dinner never happened — except in your guests' memories.
