Chef Laura Uny

Private Chef in Cul de Sac

I am Chef Laura, a private chef and caterer based in Saint Martin, dedicated to transforming every meal into a unique experience. My culinary universe is built around three pillars: refined private dining, festive catering, and creative concepts such as Smoky and Grab & Go – each designed to adapt to the spirit of my guests.

With Smoky, I highlight my passion for fire, smoke, and slow cooking: think tender grilled picanha, smoked chicken bites, and bold sauces that celebrate conviviality. Grab & Go brings a modern, lighter twist, offering fresh and creative bites perfect for those who want gourmet flavors in a casual format. And as a caterer, I design full-scale events: brunches, weddings, pool parties, or festivals, where every detail – from finger food to dessert – is carefully orchestrated.

As a private chef, my cuisine blends French refinement with Caribbean authenticity. Local fish tartares, sushi with tropical accents, vibrant seafood, and family-style platters are among my specialties. I create tailor-made menus that respect dietary needs, highlight seasonal products, and bring both elegance and warmth to the table.

What truly defines my work is the experience I offer: cooking is not just about taste, but about sharing, atmosphere, and memory. I love working closely with each client to understand their vision – whether it’s an intimate dinner for two, a family celebration, or a lively party with friends – and turning it into a moment they will remember long after the last bite.

Whether you are looking for a refined dining experience in your villa, a festive Caribbean barbecue, or an elegant catered event, I will bring creativity, passion, and professionalism to your table. Saint Martin is my kitchen, and I can’t wait to welcome you into it.

For me, cooking is...

My calling, is the science that I treasure the most.

My secret in the kitchen? Turning simple ingredients into unforgettable flavors with fire, freshness, and passion.

Chef Laura Uny’s meal was one of the best we had on the island and that is saying alot considering the food we’ve eaten here!! Would highly recommend!

Laura and Quentin were amazing. Excellent food and just wonderful people. Would highly recommend.

Great job by Chef and server!

I cant even describe the fun that we had with our chef. She did WAY beyond what we expected and then offered us a wine pairing as an add on the day of. I told her our budget and she stayed within it for the wine and picked the most fabulous wines for pairing. I would recommend her over and over again. We want to go back just to have her cook for us again.

Words cannot adequately describe the remarkable dining experience we had with Chef Laura Uny during our 14-day stay. She was so highly--polished, composed and professional but also extremely friendly while preparing some of the most amazing and exquisite delicacies for our evening meals. Each occasion was most memorable, providing a blend of European, Caribbean and American cuisine. Even our breakfasts each morning presented both new and traditional dishes, clearly bringing her own creative experience to start our day on a very positive note. She was most charming and was extremely dedicated to ensuring our specific food requests were completely fulfilled. I was most awe-struck by how someone as young as she, displayed such dignity, polish, creativity and attention to detail. She is undoubtedly a chef for whom your organization should be extremely proud and honored to have among your staff. You and she are to be highly commended. We are grateful she was placed with us. We will certainly miss her daily presentations and pleasant conversation. We hope to return soon and would wholeheartedly request she again provide more memorable dining experiences. Bravo! With warmest regards, Joe & Lee Agnelli

Chef Laura was personable, friendly and engaging. She answered questions throughout the preparation and service. The plates were works of art and simply delicious. The courses worked well together with complements from dish to dish. Her house made passion fruit / mango rum was an incredible finish to an incredible meal. I’d recommend Chef Laura time and again for anybody seeking a memorable (and delicious) experience! As a final leave behind, we had a large papaya with which we did not know what to do. She made us a sweet glaze and left directions to cook - this became both our breakfast the following morning and a dessert later that night.

Chef Laura was absolutely fantastic. From her communication to her cooking, this was one of the best meals I’ve ever had! 10/10! Highly recommended!
