FAQ

Good to know

What is the difference between a flying dinner and a seated dinner?

At a flying dinner, many small courses are served one after another directly to your guests. Everyone stands, mingles and talks, which is ideal for receptions and corporate events. At a seated dinner, you sit at the table and are served several courses, just like in a fine-dining restaurant.

Do you travel?

Yes. I am based in Munich and available worldwide: the Alps, the Mediterranean, the US, Dubai or wherever you are. Travel and accommodation are part of the quote. Please enquire as early as possible.

How does an event with a private chef work?

After your enquiry we discuss all details and I look at the location, in person in and around Munich, by video or photos for places further away. You then receive a menu proposal and a quote. On the day I arrive about four hours before your guests and prepare everything fresh.

Are drinks included?

No, drinks are not included by default. On request I organise an aperitif and wine pairing selected by a sommelier. Wine is charged per bottle.

Can we communicate in English?

Of course. Enquiries, menus and quotes are welcome in English or German.

“Nothing makes me happier than guests who get more than they expected.”

Every menu is created for one evening only. I cook with fresh, regional ingredients, make pasta by hand and plate every dish the way you know it from a fine-dining restaurant, just in your place.
