Private Chef in Saint-Tropez — An Exclusive Culinary Experience

Your Dedicated Private Chef for the Entire Duration of Your Stay

Whether you’re spending a long weekend or the full summer season in Saint-Tropez, Chef Thomas Guérinet offers a fully bespoke private dining service designed around you. From your morning croissants to a late-night dessert on the terrace, every meal is freshly prepared in your villa’s kitchen using the finest produce the region has to offer.

Thomas has been cooking in and around Saint-Tropez since 2007 — first in the kitchens of the Michelin-starred Spoon by Alain Ducasse, then at the Trimurti Holistic Retreat, and for the past 15 years as an independent private chef serving villa and yacht clients across the Golfe de Saint-Tropez.

He knows the local markets, the fishermen, the olive oil producers, and the winemakers. This deep connection to the terroir shapes every plate.

A Day with Your Private Chef in Saint-Tropez

Morning — Thomas visits the Place des Lices market or the port’s fishmongers to select the day’s freshest produce: wild-caught sea bass, sun-ripened heritage tomatoes, fragrant Provençal herbs, and artisan olive oils.

Midday — A light, colourful lunch is served on the terrace or by the pool. Think marinated tuna tartare with avocado cream, or a simple but perfect salade niçoise with line-caught tuna.

Evening — As the light turns golden, the main event begins. A multi-course dinner prepared à la minute, plated to restaurant standard, and served at your table. The kitchen is left spotless — all you need to do is enjoy.
