The lifestyle of our clients is not confined to one location, and neither is our service. The modern UHNW family moves seamlessly across the globe, a lifestyle chronicled by publications like Condé Nast Traveler. Whether traveling between global capitals via private aviation services like NetJets, or cruising between remote islands on a superyacht featured in Boat International, they require a standard of culinary excellence that is consistent and reliable, no matter the time zone.
Montclair Chef agency was built to meet this need. With our headquarters in Monaco and a deep, trusted network of culinary professionals in the world's most exclusive destinations, we have the expertise and the reach to provide the perfect chef for any property, any itinerary, and any occasion.
Our global network enables rapid chef placement worldwide. For major luxury destinations (Monaco, NYC, London, SF, LA, etc.), we typically present qualified candidates within 7-10 days. For remote or specialized locations, we can source and place chefs within 10-14 days. Our extensive international network of 4,000+ chefs ensures we maintain local expertise globally, enabling faster placements than other agencies.
Absolutely. Many of our UHNW clients maintain residences across multiple countries, and we coordinate seamless chef services worldwide. Whether you need the same chef to travel with your family internationally, or separate chefs for each of your global properties (London townhouse, Monaco apartment, Aspen chalet), we manage all logistics including work permits, travel coordination, and local supplier relationships.
As the world's largest private chef network, we offer unmatched global reach with local expertise. Unlike local agencies limited to their regional talent pool, we can access elite chefs worldwide and relocate them to your location. Our founder's personal UHNW chef experience and Michelin training ensures quality standards that local general staffing agencies simply cannot match. We specialize exclusively in private chef placement, not household staff.
Yes. Our international chef network includes multilingual professionals fluent in major languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin, Russian). Our chefs are experienced in diverse culinary traditions - from Japanese cuisine in Tokyo to Middle Eastern specialties in Dubai, traditional French in Monaco to contemporary American in NYC - ensuring authentic local cuisine wherever you reside.
Private chef salaries vary by location and local market conditions. Major luxury destinations typically range: Monaco/Switzerland (€10,000-€25,000/month), London (£8,000-£22,000/month), NYC (USD $15,000-$30,000/month), Dubai (AED 15,000-35,000/month), and Asian markets (varies by city). We can provide our client a detailed salary analysis and market insights for each location, ensuring competitive compensation that attracts top talent while reflecting local standards.
