Chef Stéphane Decluseau

For more than twenty-five years, Saint-Martin has been my home, my open-air kitchen, and the heart of my culinary journey.
Cooking, for me, is more than a profession — it’s the art of creating experiences, moments of connection and emotion, directly in the comfort of your home or villa.
Every menu is a story we write together — blending your desires and my know-how, shaped by the rhythm of the Caribbean and the elegance of French gastronomy.
Each dish is an invitation to travel, a celebration of flavors that transforms a simple meal into an unforgettable memory.

My Journey

A journey built on taste, travel, and heart

Trained in prestigious Michelin-starred establishments, I learned precision, respect for the product, and the beauty of discipline. My travels taught me openness — the generosity of world cuisines and the joy of sharing. That path led me from fine dining to some of Saint-Martin’s most beloved restaurants:

- 7 years as Head Chef at L’Astrolabe (Orient Bay), awarded 15/20 by Gault & Millau.
- 6 years as Chef and Owner of L’Effet Mer (Grand Case), where I found the freedom to express creativity and passion.
- Gold Medal – Taste of Sint Maarten Competition, a local honor that means a lot to me.

Today, this journey continues in a more personal way — through private dining experiences designed around people, stories, and the pleasure of genuine connection.

My Passion

The art of creating emotions through food

Being a private chef means cooking for people, not for crowds.
It means designing every menu from scratch, with fresh local ingredients, infused with the refinement of French technique and the vibrant soul of the Caribbean.
My cuisine is alive, generous, and creative — a reflection of the island’s spirit and my own.
