Discretion
I never photograph my guests and never share a single name or detail. Discretion is an absolute rule, not an option.
Côte d’Azur
Private Chef in Cap-Ferrat, Beaulieu and Èze
As your private chef in Cap-Ferrat, I visit your villa on the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula, or in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Èze, to prepare a bespoke Provençal menu served at your table and built around your guests and the market.
The cuisine
From the market to your table
My cuisine captures the authentic flavours of the Mediterranean, highlighting fresh fish from the sea, sun-ripened fruit and vegetables from the market, carefully sourced meats, and the olive oil and herbs of my Provençal roots. From these elements, each menu is beautifully tailored and served at your table.
Below is a selection of sample dishes. We will, of course, curate your bespoke menu entirely to your taste.
- Heirloom multicoloured tomato salad, burrata & lemon-confit dressing
- Large lobster ravioli, fresh herb jus & lemongrass bisque
- Lightly seared wild turbot, champagne sabayon & young braised vegetables
- Artisanal cheese selection, Fromagerie Metin in Vence
- Traditional tarte tropézienne, soft brioche and vanilla cream

At your villa

Welcome. I am François Savin, private chef. As your personal chef, I visit your villa or residence to prepare a bespoke menu built around your guests, the season and the market. I offer refined Provençal and French culinary creations with a discreet Southeast Asian touch, with every detail arranged directly with me. Across Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Èze, I cater for residents within the exclusive villas of one of the most private stretches of the Riviera.
- Villas and gardens on the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula
- Seafront residences in Beaulieu-sur-Mer
- Villas above Villefranche-sur-Mer and along the Basse Corniche
- Perched villas in Èze, overlooking the sea
- Milestone birthdays, family dinners and private receptions
At the heart of Provence
Provençal cooking, moments from the sea
Each menu begins at the market, inspired by the seasonal fish, vegetables and herbs available. The style of cooking is light and precise, olive oil, garden vegetables, line-caught fish, followed by a refined dessert to close. I prepare everything on-site and serve each course myself, from the amuse-bouche to the mignardises.
