At Palikao, I pour my heart and soul into creating bespoke culinary experiences, inspired by the rich traditions of French, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern cuisines.

Each event is a unique, personal collaboration. Whether it’s an intimate dinner for ten or a grand celebration for hundreds, I design menus that reflect your vision, offering refined options that cater to every guest’s tastes.

I’m proud to surround myself with a team that shares my values — serious when it matters, but always bringing a lighthearted touch. Every member of the team is a true ambassador of Palikao, united by our love for gastronomy and commitment to excellence. And be warned, our infectious positivity will add an extra spark to your event!

Serving the greater Los Angeles area and available for travel upon request, I invite you to embrace my French Art de Vivre — where food is not just a meal, but a shared experience. La vie est une fête (Life is a party!).
