About Chef Alexandre MoninCourseulles-sur-Mer
Courseulles-sur-Mer
With nearly 20 years of experience, including over 12 years as a Head Chef, my career has taken me from the beaches of Deauville to Belle-Île-en-Mer, passing through Le Havre, Corsica, the French Riviera, the Alps, Switzerland, and many other destinations.
These diverse and enriching experiences have not only refined my expertise but also fueled my passion for authentic cuisine, rich in flavors and diverse techniques.
Today, I am proud to bring this expertise to my home region of Calvados and Normandy, while remaining available to travel according to your needs.
A Tailor-Made, Flexible, and Personalized Service
Whether you dream of an intimate dinner or a more elaborate event, I adapt to your budget, your preferences, and the specific nature of your project.
Through smooth communication via my website, we will design together a unique, fully personalized menu.
Hassle-Free Logistics
I am prepared to handle all situations: I bring all the necessary tableware and small equipment with me. You will have no constraints, as I can provide everything needed to ensure a complete and tailor-made experience.
Only large equipment that cannot be transported must be available on-site. Everything else is fully taken care of.
My Strengths
• Seasonal cuisine highlighting fresh, local, and high-quality products
• A talent for surprising your palate with unique flavors
• A professional yet warm approach, with total flexibility to meet your expectations
For events requiring table service, my partner—an experienced waitress who is fully fluent in English—can also join me to ensure impeccable service.
My Vision of Cuisine
For me, cooking is much more than a profession; it is a true passion. Every day, I strive to surpass myself, and the greatest reward remains the smiles of my clients.
If you are looking for a creative chef who listens carefully and can meet your most precise expectations, feel free to contact me.
Together, we will turn your event into an unforgettable experience.
Warm gourmet regards from Normandy
