Chef Ralph Saint-Dic

Private Chef in Belleville

Greetings! I'm Chef Ralph Saint-Dic, and I’ve had the pleasure of working in the culinary industry for over ten years.

My journey as a Private Chef is deeply inspired by my love for God, people, art, wine, and of course Food. I’ve always felt a spiritual connection between the act of cooking and the experience of dining. The food we eat nourishes not only our bodies but also our souls.

To me, a shared meal is more than just food on a plate; it’s a spiritual feast creating connections and memories. With that belief, I founded Creative Culinary Delights to bring a special, heartfelt touch to every dish I create.

My culinary philosophy is rooted in respect for the ingredients, their origins, and the farmers who cultivate them. From the farm to the table, I aim to handle and serve food with integrity, care, and creativity. I take pride in crafting wholesome meals from scratch, often blending the vibrant flavors of the Caribbean with the refined techniques of European cuisine, while embracing global influences along the way.

It’s truly an honor to share my passion and skills with you, transforming your special moments into unforgettable culinary experiences where love and creativity shine through every bite.

I look forward to meeting you soon. Cheers!

Chef Ralph.

For me, cooking is...

A soulful expression of respect for God, nature, creation, and the people we share it with.

I learned to cook at...

Professionally at Loyalist College in Belleville ON. Culinary management graduated & Red Seal licensed.

A cooking secret...

Intention matters more than recipes. Use all your human senses, and mostly use love and patience as a teacher, inspiration and a secret ingredient.

Great experience! Was under the impression that you would get to keep leftovers at the end, but they were tossed. Some of our dishes (braised beef) had uneven pieces so that was disappointing to get some smaller or bigger pieces.

Chef Ralph was the best! Super pleasant to work with, engaging and his dinner from appetizers through dessert and clean up was flawless. Would highly recommend him for your next get together. Very happy with our choice to go with his services would use him again the next time we visit Prince Edward County.

Spectacular evening provided by Chef Ralph!

Chef Ralph was a fantastic addition to our team retreat! Beautiful presentation.

I loved my experience with Take A Chef! I was matched with Chef Ralph Saint-Dic. and he was amazing! He was very responsive and accommodating to our food allergies/ restrictions. Take a Chef was also accommodating and helped me when I changed the numbers after booking. Chef Ralphs food was delicious, well presented, and everything was cleaned up after!! Would highly recommend!!

Chef Ralph was fabulous! He was very accommodating to dietary restrictions, made fantastic meals, and left our kitchen even cleaner than we left it! Would highly recommend his services.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Chef Ralph and his cooking!!! All 10 of us absolutely loved every dish and there was not one thing we didn’t love! And it was so nice not to have to clean up after or lift a finger. Truly such an amazing experience and a memory that we will all cherish. I already want to hire him again for another event - you won’t be disappointed with Chef Ralph!

Very good, engaging service with super delicious food and beautiful presentation! Our chef, Ralph, was so very kind and attentive! The overall atmosphere was great and comfortable! I definitely recommend :)

Ralph was truly incredible. The nicest, most professional chef. He was flexible as our plans changed slightly and cooked an incredibly variety of food over two days. I could not recommend him and his colleagues more. I highly recommend him to anyone spending a few days in PEC.

Chef Ralph was wonderful - the whole experience from start to finish , can’t recommend enough !

Chef Ralph was absolutely incredible. He was perfect with the timing, even between dishes. Extremely polite and laid back yet professional. Everything was presented beautifully, and dishes were explained in detail but without having us bored. I have only good things to say about our experience and I would HIGHLY recommend Chef Ralph. We had a group of 12 girls and we were all extremely satisfied, full, and left the table feeling grateful for the experience. Thank you Chef!!

Chef Ralph was amazing! Our group of girls had a phenomenal time and dinner prepared by Chef Ralph.

Chef Ralph was such a fantastic and amazing chef! He was very professional, nice and had such a great passion for food. The presentation was great and every dish had a story that my group of 7 truly appreciated. We loved everything about this experience and highly recommend!

Chef Ralph exceeded our expectations when we hired him to celebrate my Mother's 70th birthday. His responsiveness, professionalism, and menu options were exceptional. The dishes he prepared, including baked Brie, crab cakes, 72-hour duck confit, and dessert, were simply outstanding. The freshness of ingredients and the exquisite flavor profiles showcased his culinary expertise. I wholeheartedly recommend Chef Ralph for any special dinner or event; he truly made our celebration memorable.

Chef Ralph deserves 6 stars! He is amazing at what he does, and has fun doing it! His dishes were some of the best we’ve had and he went above and beyond to make our dinner service extra special! We will be calling him again for our next dinner party! Thank you Chef :)

Chef Ralph and Ryan did an amazing job - if you’re looking for very professional chefs and a delicious meal that is sure to WOW your guests! This is the guys!

Chef Ralph added a classy and delicious touch to our wedding day celebrations. Our dinner for six went off without a hitch. Chef Ralph was fun and engaging alongside his creative presentations. Everyone raved about their food in the days that followed. It truly was a wonderful experience that made our wedding day even more special. Highly recommend.
