Kate and her team at Amandine have made our last five summers in France a total joy …always providing us with incredibly talented, exciting and hardworking chef teams.

They simply offer the very best service so why go anywhere else?

The Owner of Yacht Space introduced me to Amandine International Chef Placement after the successful placement of a Chef for his house.

In our experience when you hire a chef through Amandine you will get a professional chef that has been thoroughly reference checked and time has been dedicated to making sure they are compatible with the job description provided by the client.

Sourcing a high quality chef for important clients with expectations of excellence can be difficult and time consuming, when using the services of Amandine the process is made a great deal more straightforward and successful.

It was a real pleasure speaking with you and meeting the team. It was by far the most detailed and informative interview I’ve had to date with a private chef agency. This is not to denigrate other people or companies, simply that the level of professionalism, depth of knowledge and understanding of the business from both angles shown by you and the team puts your agency ahead of the competition.

What really sold it for me was asking me about my influences and where I’d like to eat next. To have that level of enthusiasm for the key ingredient of why we work in this industry after years of high quality and demanding service shows you really understand and love your work and what drives passionate chefs.

It’s great to be represented by a committed foodie.

The scope of requests for particular style and highest quality catering with yachting is practically limitless. When presented with some of the most extreme examples the default of a partner such as Amandine who have regularly been able to assist, even at very short notice, if very often invaluable.

At Bramble Ski and Haute Montagne we need world class chefs, sometimes at short notice, they have to have a very broad repertoire to suit our international clientele and be great with the guests.  Kate, Nicola and the team at Amandine have always been our go-to agency. Amandine totally understand our products, are always supremely honest about a candidate’s suitability, quick to respond and hugely efficient. I have used them for several years and look forward to many more years of collaboration!

Mission Impossible? Not with Amandine!

As Manager of a vast property in Cap d’Antibes I had the near-impossible task to find, interview and appoint a chef at very short notice.

It was an absolute lifesaver when I came across Amandine, the specialist chef agency, dedicated to providing exactly the right chef for even the most demanding gourmand.
Kate Emery personally met with us and made available a selection of chefs from the Amandine portfolio, providing various levels of experience and providing all cooking styles with matching sample menus. All three Amandine chefs that we used on various occasions and for different lengths of time, operated with great skill, organization and complete flexibility.

Amandine also provided us with the best financial arrangement with various options of how we could structure the deal.

Not only financially but on all levels there was no comparison between Amandine and the agencies we used in the past.

Needless to say our high profile guests, their families and friends were all content throughout the languid months of summer and we were happy to be at the receiving end of many compliments during a most efficient operation – thanks to Amandine.

Firstly, we would like to say thanks to you personally, you professionally guided us through the chef search process and the questions asked were straight to the point, with the accent on the genuine requirements of the client. Your response with three chef candidates was very quick. We understand, every candidate was carefully evaluated by you. The calculation of the services was presented in a simple way, so we did not find it overly complicated to understand the economics of the engagement of each chef. We also liked that the profiles were submitted on a unified letterhead which made it very easy for us to compare. We liked that you were regularly following up with us on our decision, with an understanding that Dubai expats are busier than anyone else on this planet. Finally, the administrative side of the deal (regular communication, various confirmations, invoices, financial details, confirmations of receipt of the payments etc.) was done in a very professional and convenient for us manner. Thanks again for your support.
