WELCOME

Gaspard Caloz was born in the town of Miege, nestled in the Alps of Switzerland recognized for its lush vineyards, yielding special wines. Gaspard's love for cooking started when he was 14. He did his apprenticeship in the Hotel Bellevue in Sierre, Switzerland and after he graduated, he worked in the top hotels and restaurants in Zurich, Davos, Lugano, and St. Moritz.

In 1971, he married his wife Madeleine and later moved with his family - wife Madeleine, daughter Sandrine and son Francois to New Jersey for the position of Executive Chef at Tavern on the Green in New York. The Chez Madeleine Restaurant in Bergenfield, NJ opened in 1988 and was named best French Restaurant in New Jersey by Zagat and was featured in America's Top Tables by Gourmet Magazine. Chez Madeleine received four star reviews from newspapers and magazines in the New York and North Jersey area.

In May 2000, the chef brought his experience and extraordinary talents to Madeleine’s Petit Paris restaurant and catering in Northvale. Chef Caloz ensures that every meal he prepares is impeccably fresh, beautifully presented and served with a personal touch. His wife Madeleine manages the dining room with warmth and professionalism. Their son, Francois, a graduate of Johnson & Wales assists in managing the business with great pride. As a team, the trio of Chef Gaspard, Madeleine, and Francois provides the best in cuisine, service, and décor. Professionalism and complete personal attention are lavished on every catered affair as well as on each individual dining experience. The result is a truly memorable occasion that will surely please every guest.
