Chef Lionel Wrazen

Intervention aux petits oignons pour une belle fête de famille. Chef très réactif et attentif en amont de la prestation, et au top pendant. Très bonne cuisine, grande discrétion mais aussi très avenant, bref il s'insère parfaitement dans le momentum. Merci Chef !!

An exceptional private chef – highly recommended! We had the pleasure of having Lionel Wrazen cook for us on three evenings during our family holiday at Le Moulin de L’Auzonnet in Les Mages, in the Gard region. We were a large group of 8 adults (including 2 vegans) and 8 children aged 6 to 15, and Lionel managed to make everyone happy – which is no small achievement! From the very beginning, Lionel was someone we could completely rely on. He was extremely punctual, kept every promise and communicated clearly. He had a 1.5-hour drive to reach us each time, yet always arrived with a smile and had already done a huge amount of preparation at home. His food was absolutely delicious. He used wonderful local and seasonal products – including possibly the best tomatoes we have ever eaten in France! His cooking gives traditional dishes an original and refined twist, without unnecessary complications. Everything was full of flavour and beautifully presented. He even brought his own beautiful plates to make sure the presentation was perfect. Lionel also took great care of the two vegans in our group, creating proper dishes for them rather than treating the vegan option as an afterthought. At the same time, the non-vegans certainly didn't miss out! Portions were generous: we ate extremely well in the evening and were delighted to have some leftovers for lunch the following day. Another big plus was that Lionel stayed within the grocery budget we had agreed beforehand, which we really appreciated. But Lionel offers much more than just excellent cooking. He is incredibly friendly, attentive and pleasant to have around. He is discreet when needed, funny and relaxed, wonderful with children, and somehow manages to serve and clear the table smoothly without ever making his presence feel intrusive. He even turned out to be a great photographer and happily took some lovely family pictures for us! And at the end of every evening, he left the kitchen spotlessly clean and tidy. It was wonderful to simply enjoy dinner, spend time together and not have to think about cooking, serving or cleaning up afterwards. We would 100% recommend Lionel to families or groups looking for a private chef. Delicious food, beautiful local ingredients, generous portions, excellent organisation and, above all, a genuinely lovely person to have as part of your evening. Thank you, Lionel, for making these three evenings such a memorable part of our family holiday. We would book you again without hesitation!

Lionel was amazing - absolutely 5 stars. The food was beautifully presented and delicious, he explained each dish to us and was warm and engaging. One of the best private chef experiences I’ve had. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again. Merci Lionel!!

Had the pleasure of hiring Lionel for our small wedding (20people) and adored every bite. He was very professional and flexible. We all agreed it was the best food we’ve had on our trip to France.

Merci Lionel, de nous avoir sublimé ce moment suspendu!

Une expérience hors normes, Chef Lionel a régalé nos sens, le déjeuner fut mémorable; Un grand professionnel, d'une amabilité et d'une précision incroyable. Un grand merci à lui.

Lionel was an amazing chef! He made each dinner a special occasion. I would highly recommend him!

Très réactif dans les échanges avant pendant la prestation. Discret et communiquant. Sympatique et attentionné. Je recommande sans problème.

I have nothing to say that is negative about lionel. He was absolutely superb. His meal was Michellin level which was far above the other chef’s introduction .i will definitely ask Lionel to prepare another meal for me !

Chef Lionel has been incredible. Very discreet yet engaging, his food was delicious. Beautiful presentation and everyone has praised the quality of his dishes.

Merci au Chef Lionel pour cette belle soirée. Tout était réussi, tout le monde était ravi !

Lionel understood our needs completely. The food was fantastic, beautifully prepared, incredibly well thought through and tasted delicious. He was so accommodating when we asked if we could amend the menus a little, he even cooked for our children despite this not being originally requested. He was charming, engaging, and lovely to have around. Couldn't fault anything
