Why Go

Chef Maxime runs a private chef service that brings plated, multi-course dining to wherever you are staying on St. Martin — villa, yacht, or event venue. The menus combine local Caribbean ingredients with international technique, customized to your preferences, dietary needs, and occasion. This is the service that turns a villa vacation into a restaurant experience without leaving home, and handles wedding and event catering with the same personalized approach.

The Experience

Chef Maxime arrives at your location with ingredients, prepares the meal in your kitchen (or event setup), plates each course, and serves. Menus are fully customized — send dietary requirements, flavor preferences, and the occasion in advance, and the menu arrives tailored. Options range from casual family-style Caribbean dinners to formal multi-course plated presentations. Weekly private chef packages handle breakfast, lunch, or dinner on a recurring schedule for villa guests who want to eat at home throughout their stay. Wedding and event catering scales the same quality to larger groups. Presentation is a focus — dishes are plated with restaurant-level aesthetics.

What to Try

The custom multi-course dinner is the centerpiece offering — specify your favorite ingredients and let Chef Maxime build a menu around them. For villa stays of a week or more, the weekly chef package transforms the dining experience without daily restaurant logistics. Wedding and event catering should be discussed well in advance to secure dates and finalize menus.

Insider Tip

Book as early as possible, especially during high season — private chef availability on the island is limited and good ones fill up. Discuss budget expectations upfront; luxury pricing covers ingredients, preparation, service, and cleanup. If you have a specific wine you want paired, mention it during menu planning. Chef Maxime's Orient Bay base means French-side villa guests have the shortest logistics.
