Discretion
I never photograph my guests, and never share a name or a detail. Discretion is the rule, not a feature.

Private Chef in Cannes
As your private chef in Cannes, I cook on site and serve at your table, from an apartment on the Croisette to a villa in Super-Cannes or a residence in La Californie or Mougins.
What you can expect
The values I hold at every dinner
Your menu, made for you
Every menu is built around you and your guests, never from a fixed list. Every diet is welcome.
The chef, in person
I cook at every dinner myself, on site, never a chef sent in my place.
Generosity
I am here above all to serve you, never to cut corners. Your guests’ pleasure always comes first.

Private Chef Experience in Cannes
Welcome. I'm François Savin, a private chef. As your personal chef, I come to your villa or home to cook a bespoke menu, built around your guests, the season and the morning market. The cooking is refined Provençal and French, with a discreet Southeast Asian touch, and every dinner is arranged directly with me. In Cannes I cook for residents and for the discreet rentals that frame each year's major events, from an apartment on the Croisette to a villa in Super-Cannes or a residence in La Californie or Mougins.
- Apartments and penthouses on the Croisette
- Villas in Super-Cannes, Mougins and Grasse
- Residences in Mouans-Sartoux
- Coastal villas in Théoule-sur-Mer
At the heart of Provence
Cannes has two seasons
Cannes has two seasons. The first is the calm one, residents at home, family dinners, milestone birthdays. The second is the festival season, with its short, intense weeks when an apartment becomes a private restaurant, a brand’s suite or a press dinner.
- Year-round private dinners for Cannes residents
- Festival de Cannes, press dinners, brand suites, private screenings
- MIPIM, MAPIC, ILTM, discreet client and partner dinners
- Cannes Lions, agency hospitality and creative-team dinners
- Private villa receptions in Super-Cannes and La Californie

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you cater a Festival apartment or a private suite at a hotel?
Yes, these are some of my busiest weeks. Tell me the address, the days, and the format (sit-down dinner, walking cocktail, press tasting) and I will propose a menu and a team size.
How does pricing work during festivals?
By private quote. Festival weeks carry an availability premium because of the lead time and the team they require, but everything sits inside one transparent proposal.
Can you do walking cocktails for fifty or a hundred guests?
Yes, with a sous-chef and a service team. I propose canapés, small plates and chef-station formats designed to flow.
What about discretion?
Discretion is the rule. No photos of guests, no menu shared outside the conversation with you, no commentary in any direction.
