The Experience

Every detail, composed around you.

A tasting menu written for you

Multi-course menus composed from scratch around your guests, dietary needs and the mood of the evening.

Plated, restaurant-level service

Every course is finished and plated in your kitchen and served at the table, paced to the conversation.

A kitchen left immaculate

Shopping, preparation, service and a full kitchen reset are handled, so the evening ends as easily as it began.

Designed In Dubai

Fine dining, with your own front door.

Private dining with Chef Lucian turns your villa, residence or yacht into a private dining room for the evening. The cooking, plating and pace of a fine-dining restaurant, without the noise, the neighbouring tables or the drive home.

Lucian has hosted 150+ private dining events across Dubai, from quiet dinners for two to long tables of twenty and more. Each one begins with a short conversation about who is coming and what kind of evening you want.

What private dining at home includes

Private dining with Chef Lucian is a complete evening, not just a cook in your kitchen. It includes a personal consultation, a bespoke multi-course menu, personal sourcing of every ingredient, on-site preparation and plating, service at the table and a full kitchen reset when the last course is cleared.

Lucian has cooked 150+ private dining events across Dubai, and the format stays the same whether the table is set for two or twenty: restaurant-level cooking, in a room that belongs to you.

How the private dining menu is designed

Every menu starts with a short consultation. Lucian asks who is coming, what they love, what they avoid and what kind of evening you have in mind — relaxed and generous, or a precise tasting menu course by course.

Dietary needs are built in from the start rather than added as substitutions. Halal, vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, gluten-free and allergy-aware menus are all part of everyday private dining in Dubai, and each guest's plate is planned before the evening begins.

Service and the kitchen reset

Most of the preparation is completed before Lucian arrives, so the time in your kitchen is spent finishing and plating. For smaller tables he cooks and serves himself; for larger private dining events a discreet brigade joins him so service stays calm and unhurried.

When the evening ends, the kitchen is cleaned and reset. You return to your own space, not to a pile of washing up.

Private dining vs a restaurant

A restaurant gives you a table. Private dining gives you the whole room. There are no neighbouring tables, no fixed sittings and no bill arriving before you are ready to leave — the evening moves at the pace of your conversation.

It also happens in your own setting: your villa terrace, your dining room, your yacht. Guests can relax, children can sleep upstairs, and nobody needs to arrange the drive home.

Questions

Before we set the table.

What is included in a private dining experience?

Your experience includes a personal consultation, bespoke menu design, premium ingredient sourcing, on-site preparation, plated service and a spotless kitchen reset afterwards.

Do you provide ingredients?

Yes. Every ingredient is sourced personally by Chef Lucian — proteins, produce, dry goods, finishing touches, and pantry staples.

Can menus accommodate dietary requirements?

Yes. Halal, vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, gluten-free, allergy-aware and personal preferences are considered before the menu is finalised.

How far in advance should I book?

One to two weeks is recommended for intimate dinners and two to four weeks for yachts or larger events. Selected last-minute dates may be available.

Do you offer custom menus?

Every menu is bespoke. Nothing is taken from a fixed list — Lucian writes the courses around your guests, occasion and venue.

How does the booking process work?

Begin by sending an enquiry. Lucian replies personally within 2 hours, arranges a short consultation, then proposes a menu and itemised quote for your approval.

How many guests can you host for private dining?

Private dining bookings range from intimate dinners for two to tables of twenty or more. Larger groups are served by a discreet brigade so every course still arrives plated and on time.

Where in Dubai do you offer private dining?

Across Dubai — including Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills, Dubai Marina, JBR, Downtown Dubai, DIFC, Jumeirah Islands and Al Barari — in villas, residences, private venues and on yachts.
