Anniversary Dinner in Queenstown, Cooked in Your Own Villa

A Private Chef Experience for Milestone Celebrations

Your Anniversary, Celebrated in Queenstown

Fine Dining in the Comfort of Your Home or Holiday Accommodation

Some anniversaries deserve more than a restaurant booking. A significant milestone — a 25th, a 40th, a golden anniversary — is a moment to gather the people who matter and celebrate properly. Imagine your family and closest friends together in your villa, a beautifully set table, and your own private chef preparing a menu designed around the occasion. No booking battles, no rushing, no other tables. Just your people, your space, and an evening made entirely for you.

A Celebration Cooked and Served in Your Own Space

For over ten years, I’ve cooked privately for families and groups marking milestones across Queenstown, Arrowtown and the Southern Lakes. Trained in France and with a career spanning kitchens around the world, I bring restaurant-quality fine dining directly to your accommodation — whether that’s a lakeside villa, a boutique lodge, or your holiday home.

An anniversary celebration with My Private Chef is unhurried and completely private. I handle everything: the menu, the shopping, the cooking, the service, and the clean-up. You simply enjoy the company of your guests over a meal made from the finest seasonal New Zealand produce.

Why Groups Choose a Private Chef for Their Anniversary

  • Complete privacy — your celebration, your space, no other guests
  • A menu designed around your group — favourite flavours, dietary needs, and the season
  • No logistics — no driving, no booking battles, no watching the clock
  • Restaurant-quality food — French-trained technique, world-class ingredients
  • Time together that matters — everyone at one table, the way a celebration should be

How It Works

1. Enquire & Share Your Vision
Get in touch with your preferred date, location, number of guests, and the style of dining you’re looking for. I’ll respond personally to discuss your ideas and availability.

2. Menu Design & Confirmation
Together, we create a bespoke menu tailored to your preferences, dietary requirements, and the occasion. Once the menu is confirmed, a deposit secures your booking.

3. Relax & Enjoy the Experience
On the day, I take care of everything — ingredient sourcing, preparation, cooking, service, and clean-up. You simply relax and enjoy a refined private dining experience in the comfort of your home or accommodation.

We traveled to Queenstown from Dunedin for a work trip and Fabien cooked for us the first evening we were there. What a very special night and experience this was, loved by us all and highly recommended. Thank you Fabien, your delicious food is still talked about in our office.
Fabien was friendly, professional and a wonderful chef.. very talented! I love how he introduced each dish and explained the elements in the meal. Every one of my guests left satisfied and I would highly recommend My Private Chef.

We had such a great night celebrating my mum's 60th birthday with Fabien in the kitchen!! The most delicious food, presented perfectly - we couldn’t stop complimenting every dish! Thank you Fabien for making it a night to remember. HIGHLY recommend it!!
Olivia Sale
We just finished the most glorious lunch for a surprise family celebration and omg it was absolutely incredible. Fabien is so knowledgeable, fun and warm, and made the whole experience really memorable. No problem catering for allergies, and my four year old loved it too! It was the highlight of our trip.
Thanks Fabien and Matt, we can’t wait to see you again.
Justine Kim
What an amazing chef with an amazing offering. We were lucky enough to secure Fabien for a personal party recently in Queenstown and it's fair to say we were all blown away by the food, service and professionalism.
I would highly recommend Fabien to anyone who is after an unforgettable meal coupled with a one-of-a-kind experience.
I can't wait to use his services again!
