About Queenstown's My Private Chef

My Private Chef French chef Fabien SImon

Fabien Simon

Born and raised in Bordeaux, France, Chef Fabien Simon was trained in a country renowned for it’s unique Gastronomy.

Fabien began his culinary journey in a vibrant brasserie founded by three legendary French chefs: Paul Bocuse, Gaston Lenôtre, and Roger Vergé. Rising quickly through the ranks, he was promoted to sous chef at just 23 years old, leading a team of 15 chefs and serving up to 400 guests daily.

From there, he embarked on an exciting chapter aboard an elite luxury cruise ship, traveling between Barcelona, Venice, and Athens, honing his skills in diverse culinary settings.

His passion for fine dining took him to Le Meridien Hotel in Nouméa, New Caledonia, where he spent two years expanding his gastronomic expertise. He then returned to France to join the prestigious two-Michelin-starred restaurant La Grande Vigne in Bordeaux, further refining his craft. However, his culinary adventures were far from over.

Fabien’s journey next brought him to Australia and New Zealand, eventually settling in Queenstown, a place he has proudly called home for the past 16 years. His impressive résumé includes roles as Executive Chef at Crowne Plaza Queenstown and Head Chef at The Millhouse in Millbrook Resort. For the last decade, Fabien has dedicated himself to working privately for both local and international families, continuing to share his exceptional talent and passion for fine cuisine.
