Meet David
David is the owner of Sydney Private Chef, a company which aims to create amazing food and experiences for all manner of clients across Sydney, Australia and beyond.
Since setting up Sydney Private Chef in 2011, while working between London, France, Italy and Asia as a Private in in Villas and private residences, David has worked tirelessly to create the best private chef service across Sydney and beyond.

David has over thirty years’ experience as a professional chef in some of the best restaurants in Australia and with some of the world’s best chefs, this has provided the perfect platform to create beautiful and delicious food for all manner of clients and in all manner of locations. His mantra is that nothing is impossible, just a problem waiting for a solution.
From the fine diner “the Pier” in Rose Bay circa 1990 he worked across hatted Sydney restaurants though out the 1990’s winning a coveted “chef’s hat” from the good food guide in the early 2000’s for his modern French food at “Cafe de la Galleire”. From here he opened and worked for several restaurants, as well as becoming a cookery teacher for several years. Prior to establishing Sydney Private chef, he worked for Pretty Beach House one of the Luxury lodges of Australia, creating modern Italian food infused with native Australian ingredients, and more recently took this experience to the House of Oz at the Edinburgh fringe festival creating a series of Australian inspired degustation’s for the Taste of Australia series.
With the success of Sydney Private Chef, the business has expanded with David opening Hunter Valley Private Chef, Terrigal Private Chef and Bowral Private Chef, the later also involved in the food service at Dormie House in Moss Vale with the restaurant “The Dining Room”.
David also is the owner of Terrigal Whole Food a healthy whole food cafe, restaurant and meal delivery service located on the NSW Central Coast near Terrigal.
