Private chef in Menton
The town of gardens, on the Italian border. A longer season, and cooking that shows it.
Menton keeps its own rhythm. Its climate allows a spread-out season, its gardens gave it a botanical reputation, and the border left an Italian mark on its tables. A chef working here rarely cooks as they would in Cannes.
Citrus is not a tourist argument: it genuinely reaches the plate, and owners ask for it. We keep that in mind when looking for someone for this area.
Houses that are lived in
The proportion of main residences is higher than along the rest of the coast. Requests therefore lean towards staff in post, a housekeeper or a regular chef, rather than rental weeks. Budgets follow that logic, and the searches resemble recruitment.
The Lemon Festival in February is the one period when the town genuinely fills up. Availability tightens for a few weeks.
