I create creative, fun, full-course dining experiences rooted in fresh local ingredients and inspired by French technique and Southern flavors.

Kyle Billman

I bring French technique, Southern soul, and local ingredients to your table.

I’ve been cooking professionally for over 20 years, and food has always been my true passion. I grew up in a small country town in Oregon, picking vegetables from our garden and catching salmon with my father—those early experiences shaped how I cook and why I value ingredient-driven dishes.

After spending the last 17 years living in Florida, Southern cuisine became a big part of my life. I’ve worked in Michelin-starred French fusion, classic French bistros, and American-style grills, and traveling and cooking alongside people from around the world has pushed me to keep my menus creative, thoughtful, and memorable.

Sonia Poirier

We had an incredible experience with our private chef for a bachelorette dinner! Communication was amazing from start to finish, and he arrived early and fully prepared. He was just the right amount of talkative. The food presentation was beautiful, and every dish was absolutely delicious. He left the kitchen spotless afterward, which we so appreciated. He worked alongside his son, who was our bartender for the evening, and he was fantastic as well! Highly recommend the chef — or the duo if you’re looking for a great bartender too.

Arianne Morin-Holland

Chef Kyle was amazing! Such a delight to have in our home and the meal was amazing. He catered the menu to our requests, including accommodating a vegan guest, and the whole menu was delicious. There was plenty of food for everyone. All of our guests loved it! We have recommended him to friends and family and look forward to having him again!

Jennifer McCall

We had the absolute pleasure of having Chef Kyle cook a private three-course dinner for our bachelorette party just outside of Montreal—and it completely made the night. There were seven of us, and he created the most extraordinary, intimate dining experience that we’ll never forget. The menu was a celebration of Canadian ingredients and local producers. We started with a lobster roll that might be the best lobster we’ve ever had—perfectly fresh and buttery. The second course was a corn purée (almost like elevated grits) served with duck and the most perfect summer asparagus. And dessert? A warm apple crumble with whiskey caramel and local ice cream that we’re still dreaming about. Beyond the incredible food, Chef Kyle was professional, warm, and attentive. He handled everything—from prep to plating to cleaning every last dish—and left the space spotless. The whole experience was seamless and elevated, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly. Thank you, Chef Kyle, for such a special night!

Jordan Gray

Kyle did an amazing job cooking an American Thanksgiving for us in a somewhat spartan kitchen. He arrived exactly on time, cooked and plated a textbook holiday feast for 12 people (and the guests said it was one of the best they ever had). Ingredients were fresh (you could tell just with the cranberry sauce) and Kyle had several recommendation about where to eat in Montreal. We absolutely will work with him again and highly recommend him.
