Chef Prive à Le Havre

I submitted my request for a private dinner at our rented home in Paris for Christmas night dinner. I received 4 responses and through a couple of back and forth Q&A's with the chefs, we chose Chef Laura. Laura was patient with my extensive questions and deliberations about the menu and provided answers that made me feel comfortable with the menu she would prepare for the 11 of us. Laura arrived right on time at our Paris apartment with someone to help her as we discussed. She even was ready to serve 30 min earlier than discussed despite a kitchen that lacked some space, dishes, and cookware. It was clear she had done a lot of prep work. She served a 6 course meal to some particular eaters and wow'd every person with every dish. The plating was attractive and the explanations were clear, but most importantly all of the food was delicious. She left our kitchen spotless when she left. It is nerve-wracking planning a special dinner from the other side of the globe, but Laura made it easy. I would hire her again in a minute!

Excellent food and service. Rouba made the night special.

Pour une première expérience de chef privé, c'était une réussite. Le chef a communiqué son menu avec anticipation. Pendant le repas, il a été attentif à notre rythme de dégustation et s'est adapté à l'espace et aux ustensiles de notre cuisine, en étant à la fois à l'écoute et discret. Les plats étaient bien présentés et savoureux.

Outstanding perfection! Andy "cheffed" for 16 of us at my 50th birthday celebration and he certainly didn't disappoint. It's a gamble choosing someone online that you don't know or haven't been recommended but I knew from the off I had nothing to worry about. Andy's menu selection from which to choose the final dishes was unbelievable and made it hard to narrow down. He cooked 3 courses for 16 of us, with canapes (additional ones too!) with bread at the table and there were clean plates all round. The term "fine dining" always conjoures up big plates/small portions - not with Andy, he's definitely a feeder and the quality and quantity of his products are fabulous. Above all, Andy is a fantastic guy, very easy to work with and the evening just rolled. We loved the added touch of him coming to the table to run through the dishes before we ate them. I would certainly recommend Andy and will look for any excuse to have him to return to cook again for us. Keep up the fantastic work.
