Chef Maxime B

Private Chef In Los Angeles

Elevate your dining experience with French cuisine. From the comfort of your own home, embark on a culinary adventure that celebrates the art of French gastronomy.

I will curate a bespoke menu featuring classic French dishes, crafted with the finest ingredients and traditional techniques. Each course will be paired with exquisite French wines, carefully selected to enhance your culinary experience.

Let me create a truly unforgettable experience!

*Wine selection will be discussed before the event, I will suggest a list (I am used to curating menus around wine collections). You will be responsible for the wine on the day of the event. No wine purchase will made by me.

For me, cooking is...

about sharing, creating, elevating, and a feast for the senses and the soul.

I learned to cook at...

the bests, with the bests, en France bien sur!

A cooking secret...

butter, butter, butter, and a little bit of duck fat.

Great service

Maxime was everything we wanted and expected in a private chef. He was polite and engaging while being very efficient in the preparation. Our meal was thought out, well timed and absolutely delicious. Maxime was a pleasure to deal with and we would be thrilled to have him again!

Maxime was very professional, friendly, respectful and knowledgeable. He gave us a great experience!

Chef Maxime was very responsive and really made our intimate dinner a memorable one on very short notice. I would highly recommend him and glad we decided to go with Chef Maxime over other chefs that sent in menu proposals.

We recently hired Chef Maxime for a birthday party, and it was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was flawless. Chef Maxime crafted a menu that perfectly suited our tastes and dietary preferences, using only the freshest ingredients. The presentation was stunning, and each dish was a work of art. The flavors were nothing short of amazing – every bite was a culinary delight! Beyond the food, Chef Maxime was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive to detail. The kitchen was left spotless, and the entire experience felt seamless and stress-free. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the meal, and many said it was the best they’ve ever had. If you're looking to elevate your next event, hiring Chef Maxime is a must. We’ll definitely be booking again for future occasions!

Punctual, great conversation, great food! Maxime made some delicious and delicate plates. He's very friendly, walked me through how he made some of the dishes and even told me what ingredients really make the dishes pop! He's specializing in French cuisine so everything is made with butter and cream. He even made some edits to his dishes to accommodate to our preferences/dietary needs. Would recommend!

This is our first time using private chef, and Chef Maxime made it an unforgettable experience for us! We not only had a wonderful meal, but made a friend too! The personal experience sharing, the stories behind the dishes, and the introduction of French culinary culture -- we truly enjoyed the private and close interactions with the chef throughout the dinner. This isn't something one can get from a Michelin star restaurant. I would highly recommend private chef dining and of course Chef Maxime to people who would otherwise choose to dine at high-end restaurants.

Maxime helped put together a great birthday experience. He was extremely responsive pre-event and has a strong knowledge of wines with some great suggestions. Food was delicious and the St Honore cake was a highlight. He left the kitchen spotless. Would be a pleasure to work with him again.

Maxime was amazing! Book him now.

Chef Maxime was so amazing. He communicated his ETA even when traffic change. He was there in great timing to provide a great surprise for my wife’s birthday. He was professional polite and attentive. The food was PHENOMENAL! This was our first experience with a private chef and it was beyond what we expected. He really made this such a great experience!
