Chez VousPrivate Chef in Laurelhurst, OR
A Loire-born, Michelin-trained private chef cooking French dinners in Laurelhurst homes. Three to seven courses, written for the season and plated tableside. From $115 per guest, $1,000 event minimum.
One chef. One region. Your table.
Antonin Colas was born in the Loire Valley, trained in a Michelin-starred kitchen in France, and has cooked privately in the Portland metro since 2018. Laurelhurst tables tend to be six to ten guests, with a host who wants to be in the room, not the kitchen. La Table (five-course signature) is the format that fits the neighborhood best.
Three menus by format: Le Marché (3 courses, market-driven), La Table (5 courses, signature), Le Menu Dégustation (7 courses, full tasting). $1,000 event minimum. See the full dinners page for details.
Does he travel to Laurelhurst?
Included in the standard rate: Northeast Portland is the base. He brings every plate and pan, shops the morning of, and leaves the kitchen the way he found it.
The only program of its kind in the Pacific Northwest.
Each course at a wine-paired dinner sits next to one Loire bottle and one Willamette bottle of the same varietal: chenin blanc from Vouvray next to Eola-Amity Riesling; cabernet franc from Saumur-Champigny next to Yamhill-Carlton pinot. Antonin's brothers make wine in the Loire. The pairing is the signature.
