Private French Home Cooking Class Near Nice With A Local Chef

My family of four (my husband, 2 adult children of 26 and 29 and me) loved preparing our dinner with Chef Noel at his home. Not only was it fun to learn the cooking techniques with Chef Noel, my entire family enjoyed visiting with him as we prepped. At the end, we savored the cold melon soup with chickpea frites, ratatouille topped with chicken sous vide stuffed with lemon confit and basil, handmade gnocchi, and raspberry macaroons with dark chocolate ganache. It was a memorable experience that was a highlight of our time in Nice. 5+⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!

This was an incredible experience all around! Chef Noel welcomed us all into his own with open arms. There was 11 of us, including one vegetarian and seven children, and he was beyond kind and welcoming to all. He guided us through every step and made sure everyone knew their roles. It was fun, welcoming, and enjoyable for everyone. Despite our lack of experience, our meal was delicious. Thanks to his guidance. This is something we will never forget as a family! Thank you, Chef Noel!

Noel is an excellent chef, host and teacher. He kept us busy as we prepared a delicious 4 course meal. I would recommend this experience for anyone looking for a French cooking class

We LOVED this experience! The view was incredible, our chef so kind and knowledgeable, and the food was delicious.

Noel was absolutely amazing. He spoke very good English and gave us an amazing experience. The meal was both vegetarian friendly and also included a chicken meal!! It was absolutely fantastic and he was very helpful but still challenging for a family who KNOWS HOW TO COOK . It was not basic level cooking , yet still walked us through how to cook authentic French meals. Noel was wonderful, very kind and helpful!!! We wish he was our personal chef through out our entire trip!! We will be going back!!

We had a lovely lunch on Noel’s porch with a beautiful view. Noel was very professional and relaxed. Our family of 4 stayed busy with the preparation under Noel’s guidance and instruction. Noel provided fresh ingredients and prepared a menu with Nice specialties. Noel was very accommodating and kind with a last minute dietary request. This was one of the highlights of our trip and would recommend to anyone coming to Nice!

It was so incredible, Noel is so talented, very fun, and created a very enjoyable experience for us. I bought this experience for my 2 best friends honeymoon, it was hosted at Noel’s backyard which is beautiful and we all cooked together cooking authentic French cuisine. Noel was an amazing host, taught us a lot, was so fun and made the energy so great. Truly such a special experience.

It’s a really great afternoon and a unique experience spent on the beautiful terrace with Noel with gorgeous food

This was an excellent experience. Chef Noel was very patient and kind and prepared a wonderful menu. He advised well prep and cooking techniques. He was very welcoming and the patio was quite pleasant. We highly recommend!

Doing not just watching under the guidance of a positive, creative, chef. The dishes were a great example of why French cooking is so delicious. We all agree, our time with Noel was a big highlight of our trip.

This was the funnest thing we did while in Nice! My mom, husband, and myself went to Noel's to cook a dinner. Noel was so nice and hospitable and the food was the best we ate all week on our trip. Could not recommend this enough!

It was a fun morning of cooking on Noel’s patio with a lovely view. The lunch we prepared was amazing! Glad it was a very nice day or it would not have been such a good experience for our party of 10 adults.

I was traveling to Nice with my husband and another couple. We were able to get an Uber from Old Town there and back. It was a warm and educational experience. We each got to take part in preparing a three course meal that included artichokes, chicken, macaroons, a pastry and other French foods. Noel was very welcoming and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him in his home. The views were also spectacular.

It was such a fun time - Noel was absolutely fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and really made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. We learned a ton and enjoyed our efforts at the end. The hands-on aspect made it feel like we were all chefs for the day, and the atmosphere was relaxed yet informative. Highly recommend this experience for anyone looking for a fun and unique outing with friends!

we had a great experience. Noel was very pleasant, the food was very good, the cooking very interesting. we recommend Noel very much

The setting was magnificent with views of the hills from Noel’s patio. He is an excellent teacher, so we learned a great deal about French cooking. The meal was delicious! Highly recommended!

He was so nice and helped teach my kids a lot of new cooking techniques. He was so encouraging and said cooking is fun not stressful which made the experience so much better. The food and wine was amazing.we had a fantastic time

Views were very beautiful. Cooking process was fun. Food was unique and very delicious. He quickly offered to do anything we thought was too difficult. We would definitely do it again.

Chef Noel was delightful. We cooked a lovely meal together. Our two boys 10 and 12 were easily incorporated into the day. We learned how to make ratatouille and Panisse (chickpea fries). He has a lovely view and it was a wonderful and memorable experience. ❤️

Noel was very hospitable and welcomed us into his cozy apartment. He was very kind with his instruction. We prepared 6 dishes from scratch, including melon soup, stuffed Brie, Ratatouille, veal, gnocchi and lemon crème for dessert. It was all delicious—the best meal we have eaten during our stay in France! It lasted about 4 hours in total. One of our favorite things on the trip—highly recommend it!

What an amazing experience! Chef Noel was so welcoming and fun. We all had a great experience learning the local dishes and enjoying our dishes taking in the views!! Definitely recommend the class and Chef!!
