About Chef Jean Lorestil Fine Dining and Consulting
I’m Chef Jean Lorestil, a classically trained personal chef based in Richmond, Virginia. I create custom menus for private dinners, weddings, corporate events, and special celebrations at homes and venues. My cooking brings together bold flavors and beautiful presentation, with a menu shaped around your occasion and your guests. From a plated dinner to a buffet or family-style meal, my team and I handle the groceries, cooking, presentation, service, and kitchen cleanup so you can relax and enjoy the experience. We’ll discuss your preferences, allergies, and dietary needs during planning. Send me your event date, location, guest count, and the kind of dining experience you have in mind. I’d love to cook for you.

Chef Jean was fantastic start to finish, he assisted with the place settings and crafted a wonderful menu for us. The service was perfect and the food he prepared was the pinnacle of our event.
We had an amazing experience with chef Jean for a private dinner service. He was incredibly easy to coordinate a menu with, super responsive, was able to accommodate multiple guests with allergies (tree nut, egg, tuna, and mollusk allergens), and his food was absolutely delicious! Chef Jean and his staff were the absolute best and the whole experience was a highlight of our vacation. Would absolutely recommend!
Chef Jean made my birthday dinner party a night I will never forget. He did such a great job at every stage of the event. He made sure all details were correct so I and my guests would feel welcome and cared for from beginning to end. Each dish was presented very nicely: the plates looked like they belonged on the wall of a fine dining restaurant. Most importantly, the dishes were super delicious! Each course had lots of flavor, was prepared well, and clearly the chef put a lot of thought into making them. Everyone raved about the meal, and by the time we were done eating, we were all stuffed. Chef Jean's professionalism, culinary expertise, and kind demeanor enhanced the overall experience of the evening. I highly recommend him for your events and will definitely be using him for future events!
Dinner by Chef Jean Lorestilwas outstanding—truly Michelin-star level. Every dish was prepared and served with exceptional elegance and taste.
Chef Jean Lorestil was absolutely amazing! He and his team arrived promptly and set up very quickly. They worked around and with us as we were trying to set up for the party. They were extremely helpful and kind. The food was delicious and elegantly served. 10/10 I can’t wait to book again!
If you are planning a special dinner you need to look no further than Chef Jean. OMG our night was well beyond anything we could have imagined. He showed up when he said he would; prepared and ready to go. The presentation of each course was absolutely phenomenal and the taste was beyond that. EVERYTHING was delicious!!! This Chef is the real deal and made my wife’s birthday celebration a memory of a lifetime. Looking forward to having Chef Jean back in our home.
Me and 12 close friends booked Chef Jean for a formal dinner party at our vacation home. We were blown away by the service him and his staff provided. Our entire interaction, from booking to end of the night clean up was top tier. He was responsive to all of our questions, providing professional and courteous follow ups. We requested a 5 course plated dinner with a cocktail hour charcuterie set up. The food was delicious and plated beautifully. His accommodations for guest's allergies were seemless and did i mention the food was DELICIOUS. Our group has already decided to book Chef Jean for our next event.
Chef Jean made my extremely last minute (same day booking) a magical event. I was beyond pleased with Chef Jean’s professionalism, cooking skill and artwork, and overall character. Chef Jean and his assistant Judy will be booked for each of my private events; he exceeded all my expectations with set up (plates, utensils, food plating), food taste (10/10, 5 Star), and cleanliness. Chef Jean was timely, my kitchen was left spotless, and my guest left full and happy. Chef Jean, you are amazing, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
My wife and I love hosting friends and family,rather its just a few drinks or formal dinners.We stumble across Chef Jean and it was the best thing.Mine you it was my first time on thumbtack which made me a bit nervous.We are so glad we came across Chef Jean and his crew.We let him take the lead so he provided a 5 course a la carte menu.Food was amazing and presentation had us speechless.Thank you all for everything,it was an amazing experience.I would definitely recommend.Keep up the good work young man!
