Hiring Chef Michel and Sandrine for my private dinner was genuinely one of the best decisions I’ve made. From start to finish, it was a 10/10 experience. The menu was a beautiful curation with West African ingredients and techniques woven seamlessly into refined French cooking. Every course felt intentional and told a story: from the scallop espuma with pébé to the poultry ballotine stuffed with egusi seeds. Sophisticated, creative, and deeply flavorful. What truly set this experience apart was the care and attention to detail from both of them. Dietary restrictions were taken seriously and handled gracefully, so no one felt like an afterthought. The tablescape was stunning, and the service throughout the evening was warm, polished, and unobtrusive. If you’re looking for a private dining experience that feels like a Michelin-star restaurant came to you, look no further. I cannot recommend Chef Michel and Sandrine highly enough. Thank you guys again for making my birthday special.
