Hi, I’m Chef Paul
Paul Fulop

I turn exceptional Irish ingredients into fine-dining experiences shaped by 20+ years in 5-star kitchens.

I create refined, ingredient-led meals with the precision of fine dining and the warmth of a personal table.

I’m a professional chef with over 20 years of experience, mainly in 5-star hotels and fine-dining restaurants. I’ve worked across five different countries, and when I discovered Ireland—its produce, seafood, and incredible ingredients—I decided to settle here.

What I love most about cooking is how artistic it feels: I take raw ingredients and transform them into an exceptional meal with care, technique, and a perfectionist’s eye for detail.

For me, cooking is truly an art.

My secret in the kitchen is treating every ingredient with respect—because great cooking starts with listening to what the product wants to become.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Ireland?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 73.33 EUR, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Italian, Chef's special, Mediterranean, Local and Seafood/Fish. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in Ireland?

To book me in Ireland, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette and Friends gathering. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
