Concept of the night

Your dinner party menu would have already been planned prior with Chef David, so on the evening of your dinner party, all you need to do is set the table, relax and enjoy your guests.

David, Carla and Christophe will generally arrive approximately 1 hour prior to you time of guests arrival. They will arrive with all of your food for the evening, and take over your kitchen, and commence preparation of your menu.

You and your guests, are welcome to watch the Chef's prepare your menu and ask questions at your leisure, it is not only a night of fantastic cuisine, but also interaction with the Chef and possibly a learning experience for you and your guests.

Once your guests arrive, Carla is your Maitre D, she will commence your evening of personalised service and offer Hors D'oeuvres and thus continuing throughout your complete menu, serving you all night.

Chef David and Christophe will interact with you and your guests throughout the evening, explaining your menu and any questions anyone has about anything at all. After you culinary experience is complete, Carla, David and Christophe will leave you to enjoy the rest of your evening at your leisure with your guests. Your kitchen, by the way, will look as if no one has ever been there, they leave it just as they found it, and you do not have to clean the dishes that were used.

A La Gourmandise dinner party is one that you will boast to your friends, that of being an evening of culinary experience and extremely personalised service.
