mise en place

mise en place (meez ahn plahs): a culinary process in which ingredients are prepared and organized (as in a restaurant kitchen) before cooking.

We’re out to do fine dining differently. mise en place was born from an enthusiasm to bring the restaurant experience directly to you. We’re a personal chef and special event catering company based in both the Los Angeles area and the San Francisco Bay Area. We’re obsessed with careful preparation and thoughtful execution in your home or venue of choice. Our chefs have spent decades working in the world’s most well-known and highly regarded restaurants, including those who’ve earned Bib Gourmand up on to 3 stars by Michelin and ranked in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants.

We provide chefs, and our entire team with meaningful work and share a vision rooted in hospitality — and you’ll taste it in our food. We are committed to treating everyone with kindness, and that extends beyond our clients to our chefs, partners, purveyors, and anyone we interact with.

Whether you’re hosting a birthday party, an anniversary celebration, a wedding, or a casual dinner party, we aim to provide a thoughtfully executed experience. For us, it’s about the details, and we strive to provide an experience that you’ll never forget.

“Mise en place is the religion of all good cooks.”
— Anthony Bourdain
