My secret is simplicity—using fresh, quality ingredients and cooking with intention to create a dish that touches the heart.

I cook with intention—so every dish feels personal, memorable, and shared.

I tell stories through food

For me, cooking is storytelling—each dish is a chapter, and every ingredient is a word that brings people together. It’s my way of sharing what I love with the people at my table.

I’m shaped by Montreal and real kitchen experience

I learned my craft in Montreal’s vibrant culinary scene, working in several renowned restaurants and completing culinary arts training at PACC. That mix of hands-on intensity and formal technique is what guides my cooking today.

I keep it simple, fresh, and heartfelt

My philosophy is built on simplicity: I use fresh, quality ingredients and cook with intention, because I want every plate to feel honest—and to genuinely touch the heart.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Canada?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 173.80 CAD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Chef's special, Mediterranean, Local, Fusion and Seafood/Fish. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavour is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in Canada?

To book me in Canada, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Friends gathering and Corporate. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
