About Chef Lemaire, LLC

Chef Lemaire, LLC

Executive Chef - Owner

Award-wining Chef Alain Lemaire is a native of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where he first discovered his interest in cooking. That interest in food grew out of the need to feed himself what he wanted, and when he wanted it by watching his mother and grandmother in the kitchen, to full blown passion by the time he graduated. Chef Lemaire has featured on several TV shows: he was the host chef of the “Taste of Haiti” episode of the "Luda Can't Cook" series on Discovery+ with award winning rapper, actor, restauranteur Chris "Ludacris" Bridges. He is also a contestant of the Food Network's hit series, Fire Masters, Cutthroat Kitchen, and Chopped.

We love crafting menus, and our attention to details as minute as they may be are what drive our business. Our team is made of professionals that have been in the industry for more than 20 years, and have worked at some of the most exclusive hotels, restaurants, and venues

    Best Chef you could ever want at your event!!!

    We have been fortunate to work with chef Lemaire on several occasions. First at my wedding, my anniversary dinner and more recently at my sister destination wedding. Each of the experiences was beyond excellent! His menu choices are extensive. The dishes are delicious and creative. Chef lemaire is always professional , on time , work clean always leaves his kitchen spotless and relates well with the guests to the point where each time I'm hosting the guests always ask if he would be the Chef of the day. Most importantly, chef Lemaire truly strives to create the experience that the client wants starting from the tasting till the day of the event. Highest praise for Chef Lemaire and we look forward to working with him again and again.

    An unforgettable experience!

    Chef Lemaire is simply amazing! He made our wedding experience one to remember. He took our food vision and truly made it a reality and beyond. I just love how he was down to earth, listened to us and personalized our menu to fit our needs and personalities. All of our guests said that the food looked super beautiful and tasted even more amazing! I can’t wait to have him do many more events for us in the near future. If you’re looking for someone who is detailed, orderly, and can bring all your visions to life, he is the one you want to book!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Extraordinary Culinary Experience! Chef Lemaire Is Simply Exceptional! I hired Chef Lemaire to prepare food for my 60th birthday week in Orlando, where I celebrated this special milestone surrounded by family and friends. I could not have made a better choice! Chef Lemaire took wonderful care of me and my family, creating a culinary experience that made our celebration even more memorable. THE FOOD WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Everything was incredibly fresh, tender, and perfectly seasoned. The charcuterie boards were beautiful, and the presentation of every dish was nothing short of exquisite. Everything looked so gorgeous and inviting that you wanted to start eating immediately, even before all your guests had arrived! His attention to detail was truly impressive. What made the experience even more special was how much everyone loved his work. My guests were so impressed that they immediately wanted his contact information to share with their own friends and families. I shared Chef Lemaire's information with several people, and before we knew it, his name and number were being passed along from Orlando all the way to Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York, and Pennsylvania! People wanted to know how they could book him for their own special occasions. His talent created a buzz all on its own, and it was beautiful to witness. When the food is this good, people don't keep the secret to themselves! And the story doesn't end there! My daughter, who is currently planning her wedding, had the opportunity to taste Chef Lemaire's cooking during our celebration. She was so impressed that she immediately booked him to be the chef for her wedding! That alone speaks volumes about the quality of his food and the impression he leaves on people. Chef Lemaire didn't simply prepare meals; he helped create beautiful memories for our family during a milestone celebration. His exceptional culinary talent, exquisite presentation, and the care he put into serving us made the entire experience unforgettable. If you are looking for a chef who delivers exceptional flavor, freshness, beautiful presentation, and an unforgettable dining experience, LOOK NO FURTHER THAN CHEF LEMAIRE! From Orlando to Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York, and Pennsylvania, his contact information is traveling because people want to experience what we experienced. And with my daughter's wedding already on his calendar, our family is looking forward to enjoying his culinary magic again! Thank you, Chef Lemaire, for helping make my 60th birthday celebration so delicious, beautiful, and memorable. You have a gift, and it deserves to be celebrated! Five stars are simply not enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
