Marché de Saint-Tropez — chef privé sélectionne les produits frais 01
Morning

The market,
before anyone else

Thomas arrives at Place des Lices before the crowds. Wild sea bass from the port fishmongers, sun-ripened heritage tomatoes, fragrant Provençal herbs, artisan olive oils. The day's menu is written by what is best, not what was planned.

Déjeuner au bord de la piscine — chef privé Saint-Tropez 02
Midday

Light, effortless,
by the pool

A lunch that feels inevitable — tuna tartare with avocado cream, a perfect salade niçoise with line-caught tuna, cold rosé already poured. Served on the terrace, no effort required on your part. This is what a holiday should feel like.

Evening

The main event,
at your table

As the light turns golden, the kitchen becomes a stage. A multi-course dinner prepared à la minute, plated to restaurant standard, served at your table. When the last glass is poured, the kitchen is left spotless. Your only role was to enjoy.

Thomas, as usual it is a pleasure to organise our holidays with you as our chef. A huge thank you for being so flexible at such short notice. The food is always super tasty and the design outstanding. Thank you for cooking delicious special meals for my son who has a lot of food intolerances.

I rented a property in the Balearic Islands to celebrate my 30th birthday. Thomas cooked for my family and friends during 10 days and he did a great job. Every meal was cooked to perfection and the food presentation was incredible. I would highly recommend Thomas's private chef service to anyone.

Questions & Answers

Everything you
need to know

Every engagement is unique — so every question deserves a direct answer. If yours isn't here, Thomas is always happy to speak personally before any booking.

Ask a question

Saint-Tropez is one of the most sought-after destinations on the French Riviera — particularly between June and September. We recommend booking at least 3 to 4 weeks in advance during peak season, and 1 to 2 weeks during the quieter months of May and October. For weekly stays or multi-day engagements, earlier is always better.

Pricing depends on the number of guests, the duration of the service, and the menu selected. A bespoke quote is always provided before any commitment — there are no hidden fees. Ingredients and market shopping are included. Please use the contact form to receive a personalised quote within 24 hours.

Yes. Thomas has extensive experience as a yacht chef and is fully comfortable working in galley environments. Menus are adapted to the equipment and provisions aboard, with no compromise on quality. Yacht services are available throughout the Golfe de Saint-Tropez and across the Côte d'Azur.

Always. Thomas visits Place des Lices market (Tuesdays and Saturdays) and local port fishmongers each morning to source the day's finest produce. Ingredients are selected based on what is best that day — not what was planned the week before. All shopping is included in the service.

Absolutely. Thomas has extensive experience with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and allergy-specific requirements. Every menu is built around your guests — not the other way around. Please share all dietary needs when enquiring and they will be accommodated with precision and care.

Yes. For weekly villa stays, Thomas offers a complete daily service — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — with menus rotating throughout the duration of your stay. A single-day or single-meal engagement is equally possible. The service is entirely shaped around your schedule and rhythm.

Thomas operates throughout the Golfe de Saint-Tropez and the broader Var region: Ramatuelle, Gassin, Grimaud, Cogolin, Sainte-Maxime, La Croix-Valmer, and Cavalaire-sur-Mer. Yacht services extend across the full Côte d'Azur. He also serves Monaco, Cannes, Nice, and — during other seasons — Île de Ré and Bordeaux.

For groups of up to 30 guests, Thomas handles everything personally. For larger celebrations — up to 500 guests — a full professional team is brought in. This covers weddings, milestone birthdays, and corporate events. Please see our dedicated Wedding Catering page for larger-format enquiries.

Thomas sources from Place des Lices market, the port fishmongers of Saint-Tropez, and a network of trusted artisan producers across the Var region — olive oil makers, fromagers, winemakers, and small-scale growers he has worked with for over a decade. Every ingredient is chosen for quality and freshness, never convenience.

Yes. Thomas caters weddings across Saint-Tropez and the French Riviera — from intimate ceremonies on private beaches to grand receptions at hillside estates. Bespoke wedding menus are created for every style, scale, and budget. Visit our Wedding Catering page or contact us directly to begin the conversation.
