About Noranise Dining

Noranise Dining is a French private chef and catering business run by chef Pierre Gaudin from Glebe. Pierre trained and worked in Michelin-starred and Relais & Chateaux restaurants in France, and moved to Sydney in 2012 to work in high-end restaurants and catering. He started cooking privately for families in 2018 and launched Noranise Dining in 2021. The cooking is modern French built on seasonal Australian produce. A sample menu includes king crab, scallops, wagyu with bearnaise, and souffles. There are several set formats. The Canape Box Party is five savoury and sweet canapes per guest, delivered ready to eat, for 15 to 40 guests at $60 per person. A two-course Corporate Lunch is $99 per person for 10 to 20 guests. The French Bistrot Gathering is a relaxed sharing-style meal for 10 to 30 guests at $120 per person. The French Private Dining Experience is a three-course plated dinner for 7 to 20 guests at $150 per person. For bigger events there are roaming or stationary canape parties with a full team, and live stations where the chef shucks oysters or sears wagyu in front of guests. Private cooking classes are also available, including a souffle masterclass. Most of the prep is done in their own kitchen, and the dishes are finished and plated at your place. All the host needs is a basic kitchen. The team arrives early to set the table. Afterwards they clean the kitchen and leave any leftovers labelled in the fridge. They can also arrange flowers, balloons, napery, artisan plates, a bartender, drinks with a sommelier, a photographer and waitstaff. It suits dinner parties, milestone birthdays, small weddings, product launches and office lunches.

The team sets up the table before guests arrive, handles service and pacing, then washes up and stores any leftovers.
