A private chef serving Galveston — beach-house weekends, wedding weekends and Gulf seafood menus by French-trained Chef Martin Fassi.
The neighborhood
Cooking in Galveston
Galveston is where the weekend bookings happen. A rented beach house, a group down for two or three nights, and a chef who cooks every meal rather than one — that is the shape of most Galveston work, and it is one of the most enjoyable formats there is.
The seafood argument makes itself. Gulf snapper, shrimp and oysters bought the same morning, an hour from where they landed, cooked with French method rather than battered into anonymity. Chef Fassi’s ceviche belongs on this island more than anywhere else.
Wedding weekends are the other strand — a rehearsal dinner on the Friday, something for arriving guests, and a long slow brunch to send everyone home. Booked as a weekend, the travel stops being a line item worth arguing about.

FAQ
Private chef in Galveston — questions
Do you cook multiple meals over a weekend?
Yes — that is the usual Galveston arrangement, and the best value. Several meals across two or three days rather than one dinner.
Is the seafood local?
Where the season allows, yes. Gulf snapper, shrimp and oysters bought the same morning are the whole reason to cook on this island.
Do you cook down on the island often?
Often enough that beach-house weekends are a regular part of the calendar. Anything about travel for your date is settled with you before you book.
“Having dinner prepared in our home made the entire night feel special. The menu was exactly what we wanted, and the experience felt completely effortless.”
