Outstanding food and quite creative cooking to accomodate for various dietary requirements in our group (some gluten free, some vegan, and some meat eaters). I thoroughly enjoyed the service and explanation of each menu item from our dinner, which gave insight into Fabien's careful choices in creating such a lovely evening. Our family had the best time using Fabien as a private chef for a special evening in Queenstown, and I would love to enjoy his cooking again.

I had a cooking class with Fabien, which was amazing. I asked him for tips how to elevate dishes and he prepared several pages of recipes and variations for me. We cooked a 3 course French meal which was delicious. During the cooking Fabien gave me tips on how to make vegetable cutting easier and how to use special ingredients (Porcini mushroom powder, black garlic). I thoroughly enjoyed my morning of cooking with Fabien and highly recommend him.

Truly amazing private chef experience! Fabien is a very talented chef, creating a gorgeous 3 course meal for 10 people to celebrate my 21st birthday in Queenstown. He was very clean, professional and added lovely personal touches to the whole dining experience with table settings and printed menus. Each course was delicious and he was able to cater for varying dietary requirements too. I could not recommend his services more!

Fabien created the most magnificent private dining experience to celebrate my 50th Birthday in Queenstown. From start to finish, it truly was an 5 star experience. Every dish was exceptional, the presentation amazing and absolutely delicious. We had 5 courses, the servings were generous and the prep and detail that went into each dish was a work of art. Fabien was the ultimate professional and he truly made my birthday so memorable. I highly recommend him as a private chef!

We recently booked Fabien for a private event for the second time, and as usual he did not disappoint. A dinner for six of us at our home, we selected a three-course plated dinner, with a selection of canapés to start, over drinks. All of the food was absolutely delicious, plentiful (no-one went hungry, that's for sure!), presented immaculately and left our guests raving. We would without doubt recommend Fabien, and will no doubt book him for future events. Thank you Fabien for making our evening so special.

The most amazing food over two days from this fabulous man! He absolutely made our holiday! Fabien arrived with plenty of time to prepare and not only was his food insanely delicious, he was a pleasure to have around - We requested he stay for dessert with us! Thank you for making mums 70th so special, we hope to enjoy your food again!

Hi Elise, I'm absolutely overjoyed by your generous words! It was truly a pleasure for me to be a part of your mum's special 70th birthday celebration and to have had the opportunity to provide you all with a memorable dining experience. It's delightful to know that not only did you enjoy the food, but also my company. Sharing dessert with you was an honour and a lovely end to a wonderful gathering. Your family's warmth and kindness really left a lasting impression on me. Looking forward to having another opportunity to cook for you and your loved ones in the future. Thank you once again for your kind words and for letting me be a part of such a special occasion. Warm regards, Fabien

Chef Fabien was simply fantastique! Everyone can not stop raving about the meal. Fabien not only delivered outstanding food but he created such a memorable and personal experience for our families, explaining every meal in detail.

Fabien prepared a sensational 4 course dinner for 6 of us to celebrate a big birthday. Hard to pick a winning dish as everything was out of the top drawer. What a fab experience. Terrific wine matching too.

I booked Fabien for my Dad’s 70th birthday celebrations in Queenstown, and we were not disappointed! From the initial enquiry, Fabien was helpful, communicative and invested in making this a memorable occasion. He helped navigate the menu choices, including dietary preferences, and also recommended wines for each dish, which proved to be amazing. The food itself was excellent - we’re a big family of foodies and Fabien exceeded our expectations. Fabien and his team were efficient, professional and warm, and the meal for 10 was a real highlight of our trip, and of Dad’s birthday celebrations. Highly recommend!

Fabien is all things professional, kind and talented. From our first contact, he went above and beyond to ensure our private meal was everything we wanted, ensuring I was informed of everything, suggesting wine pairings and accomodating for our younger guests as well. His food was EXQUISITE, all of my guests commented on the mouth watering flavours and how lovely Fabien was. I would recommend Fabien and My Private Chef to anyone looking at hiring a private chef for an event and should we return to Queenstown again, we will be hiring him again for sure! Thanks Fabien!

Fabian and his team prepared and served a delicious walk & fork dinner for 18 guests in our home for my husband’s 85th birthday. Working with Fabian is an absolute pleasure and the preparation, serving and clearing up was done seamlessly. Our guests were all appreciative of this lovely meal of canapés, salmon and beef dishes. The Paris Brest dessert was outstanding.
