Just the Two of You
A multi-course dinner, candle-lit, taking its time. Good for anniversaries, birthdays, or any night that deserves more than takeout. Couples only. No friends, no kids. That's the whole point of this one.
Private Chef · West Palm Beach
I'm Alex. I cook the way I was trained in France. I bring it home to you.

The Idea
I cook in your home, on your night, for the people you actually want at your table. Real French technique, the kind I was taught. Relaxed. No tasting menu printed in calligraphy. Just very good food, served properly, in a setting that feels like yours.
About
I'm Alex. I trained at CFA d'Évry in France, and did my apprenticeship at La Ferme de Contin, an old-school French restaurant where you learn the long way, the right way. No shortcuts.
Then I moved to New York. A few years cooking in a family-run French restaurant, and on the side, private duty as personal chef for the French Ambassador to New York. After that, kitchens around the country: Wellfleet, Vail Village, and Palm Beach, where I most recently worked as Sous Chef at Le Bilboquet.
Now I'm fully focused on Chez Alex. One chef, one table, one night at a time. That's exactly how I want it.
“I cook better when it's personal. That's why I left the restaurant.”
What I Do
A multi-course dinner, candle-lit, taking its time. Good for anniversaries, birthdays, or any night that deserves more than takeout. Couples only. No friends, no kids. That's the whole point of this one.
Up to twenty guests, in your dining room. Full menu, plated in your kitchen, served at the table. I bring everything I need. You bring the people.
Up to 150 guests. Receptions, corporate evenings, private gatherings. Restaurant-level food, scaled properly. Not catering. Done with a real team behind me.
