Montclair Chef is Monaco's premier private chef placement agency founded by Michelin-trained chef Chris Demaillet, following 20+ years in three-star restaurants, Beverly Hills luxury estates, and Mediterranean superyachts. With firsthand experience serving UHNW families requiring private estate chefs, he built this agency to meet exacting standards with a Michelin chef's precision for elite culinary placement. Following principles established by Cornell's School of Hotel Administration, the world's premier hospitality management institution, exceptional service requires deep understanding of both culinary excellence and client hospitality expectations.
Today, we offer exclusive access to over 4,000 elite private chefs including Michelin-trained estate specialists, STCW-certified superyacht professionals, and celebrity private chefs with NDA expertise. Each candidate is selected for exceptional culinary pedigree, absolute discretion, and proven performance in UHNW environments from Beverly Hills estates to Monaco superyachts. As featured in Robb Report, the leading authority on luxury lifestyle, elite private chef placements require specialized understanding of ultra-wealthy household dynamics. Montclair Chef delivers with precision and quiet confidence.
We are not a generalist recruitment agency. We are a boutique chef agency, built for those who demand the very best.
