"The Riviera has no shortage
of exceptional restaurants.
I am not a restaurant."
Thomas Guérinet has spent fifteen years refining a single skill: cooking at the level of a Michelin kitchen inside someone else's home. In Cannes, in Nice, in Antibes and along the coast between them, he brings the same standard to every table — a precision built over years of private dining for clients who accept nothing less.
He works alone. He sources from the best markets and suppliers the region offers. He adapts to your kitchen, your schedule and your guests — without ever making those adaptations visible.
Cannes and Nice are two of several destinations where Thomas works regularly. Whether your property is in Saint-Tropez, Monaco or further along the coast — the same standard of service and discretion applies.
