REQUEST VIP coordinates fine-dining requests around the guests, occasion and complete evening, subject to direct confirmation by each restaurant or supplier. The brief covers date, local time, party, dietary needs, seating, accessibility, transport and cancellation. A waitlist, concierge request or card hold is never presented as a confirmed table.
Key Facts
- Restaurant inventory, table allocation, dress rules, deposits and cancellation remain controlled by the named venue or authorised booking channel.
- Dietary requests must be described precisely; acceptance of a note is not proof that a kitchen can remove every allergen or cross-contact risk.
- “VIP table”, “best table” and chef interaction have no universal definition and need property-specific written detail.

Luxury restaurant reservations
Start with exact date, arrival window, adults and children, occasion, preferred cuisine, spending framework and any mobility requirement. Distinguish an essential private room from a preference for a quiet table.
REQUEST VIP approaches the restaurant or an identified authorised channel and returns the name, time, party size, booking reference, deposit, cancellation and special notes. A listing on the Michelin restaurant page helps organise research but does not guarantee a star, a table or current participation.
Private dining and chef's tables
A private dining room can involve minimum spend, fixed menu, capacity, time limit, service charge, audiovisual restrictions and a separate contract. Clarify whether the room is fully enclosed, whether other guests cross it, and whether speeches, music, decoration or external suppliers are permitted.
A chef's table can mean counter seating, a kitchen view or a dedicated menu; chef presence and interaction require confirmation. For a larger celebration, compare private dining by room rights, menu flexibility, privacy, access and total commitment rather than by the label alone.
Private chefs and residence dining
For a villa, yacht, apartment or chalet, the kitchen, equipment, ventilation, delivery access and household rules determine what can be served. The private chef service should identify the contracting supplier, professional credentials where required, staff count, menu approval, ingredient purchasing, drinks, cleanup and waste.
Ask who manages allergy information, cold-chain storage and local access permissions.
Wine tastings and gastronomic tours
A wine experience needs an authorised host, venue, bottles or flight, language, duration, transport and responsible-service plan. Confirm whether the fee covers tax, cellar access, purchases or shipping.
For wine tastings and gastronomic tours, sequence each stop with realistic transit, opening hours and cancellation. A tasting followed by driving requires an alternative transport plan. Producer visits and private access remain subject to the host's live approval.
Allergies, children and accessibility
Record allergies separately from preferences and pass only necessary information to the venue. Ask the restaurant to state what it can accommodate and whether cross-contact can be controlled; REQUEST VIP does not provide medical assurance. A guest with a severe allergy should make an informed decision using the venue's response.
For children, verify age policy, menu, seating time and stroller storage. For accessibility, check entrance, steps, lift, restroom and vehicle drop-off.
Deposits, cancellation and payment
Before any card guarantee or payment, confirm the legal payee, amount, currency, deadline, refund rule, no-show exposure and permitted change to names or party size. Some venues charge per person or enforce a minimum spend. REQUEST VIP separates its service fee from restaurant charges.
. Do not transfer money to an unnamed individual or buy a reservation whose venue cannot confirm the chain. Save the final confirmation and cancellation timestamp.
