Very good chef !! Helpful but still informative - 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... - 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!

Incredible - 11/10 would recommend! - 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.

A warm and welcoming experience - 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.

Fun and memorable experience with friends - 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!

A fun morning - 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.
