We provide a private chef for your villa in Levi, Rovaniemi or Saariselkä, for dinners, breakfasts or every meal of the stay. After a day on the slopes or a long flight, there is no table to book and no drive, and the whole group eats together by the fire. Tell us your dates and guests for a quote, with no obligation.

How the evening runs

An Evening With the Chef

A single dinner, step by step. Times shift with your day; the chef works around you rather than the other way round.

  1. 01

    The Menu Is Agreed

    Sent before you travel, with allergies, dislikes and any occasion noted, and changed until it is right.
