Amazing! - Wow…. This was hands down one of the most amazing experiences I have ever done. I am dreaming of this meal days later. We booked this activity for myself, my 10 year old son and my husband. We all three enjoyed every dish. The flavors were so complex and delicious. The dishes are intricate and the chef walks you through a journey with every dish he prepares and serves. A kind and gracious host who loves what he does. It came through in the atmosphere and the food. I am literally dreaming of that sabayon sauce. One day, I hope to have it again. Thank you again, Chef.

A Unique Pleasure - A once-in-a-lifetime dining experience. Chef Jean Yves provided so much more than an amazing dinner. He provided invaluable insight into dining. He explained each dish and how the ingredients were blended to delight the palate. The meal was unbelievably delicious, but to be invited into the home & heart of a master chef who is so passionate about food, was a unique pleasure.

One of the best Paris dinning experiences - This was one of the best experiences I have had. Johnny is fabulous at what he does. He explained each dish and the process of making it. Food was amazing with so many new flavors that meshed Asian and French cuisine. Small group made this feel like an intimate dinner party in someone’s home. Highly recommend.

Eye opening experience - We are glad the chef and the sommelier took the time after each dish were served, and before we dove into it, to explain the origin of each ingredient in the dish, the wine pairing, and the order that each component of the dish are to be eaten. It really enhances the experience, allowing us to really appreciate the complexity of each dish. It was truly an eye opening experience.

Exquisite, informative, and satiating! - This was definitely a highlight of our trip! What an amazing experience because not only was the food superb and satiated our palates, the stories and history behind each course and wine pairing educated us. It was a mind, body, and soulful evening. Master Chef offered us some guessing games re: flavors which was so much fun because it taught us how to taste and where the layers of flavors arrive in our palate. The textures of the food and the combinations were exquisite. We can't wait to come back next time for a cooking class with Master Chef Jean-Ives. His knowledge of ingredients and how they play with each other is solid. He is an artist with the layerings of the flavors, textures & colors. We enjoyed our conversations with him and his sous chef. His passion comes alive in each dish. The food is a fusion of asian and European/French cuisines. You are missing out if you don't go to this one. He also is willing to work with various food challenges that customers may have. Fortunately, we didn't have any and it was an evening we will not forget.

Epicurian delight for all - A wonderful evening with one taste sensation after the other. We were two couples that joined three other foodies in the cozy wine cellar of the chefs home. He explained each dish in detail even as far as the order to eat it for the best experience on the palette. We all agreed it was the best evening in Paris!!! We hope to return!

Team building dinner - I got to celebrate my company’s end of the year dinner at Jean-Yves last December. We absolutely loved the event. The food was delicious and the venue was very cozy and intimate. Jean-Yves took time to explain all about the dishes and ingredients he used. Highly recommended
