Discretion
I never photograph my guests, and never share a name or a detail. Discretion is the rule, not a feature.
Côte d’Azur
Private Chef in Cap-Ferrat, Beaulieu and Èze
I'm François Savin, a private chef. I come to your villa on the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula, in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Èze to cook a bespoke Provençal menu and serve it at your table, built around your guests and the morning market.
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.

At your villa
Private dining on the Cap-Ferrat peninsula
Welcome. I'm François Savin, a private chef. I come to your villa or residence to cook a bespoke menu, built around your guests, the season and the morning market, refined Provençal and French cooking with a discreet Southeast Asian touch, arranged directly with me. Between Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Èze, I cook for residents and for the discreet 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, above the sea
- Milestone birthdays, family dinners and private receptions
At the heart of Provence
Provençal cooking, a few steps from the sea
Each menu starts at the morning market, with the fish, the vegetables and the herbs the season has brought in. The cooking is light and precise, olive oil, garden vegetables, line-caught fish, and a dessert to close. I cook on site and serve each course myself, from the amuse-bouche to the mignardises.
