I craft Eurasian cuisine with soul, balance, and bold flavor

Image alt description

My culinary path began in 2002 and has taken me from Portugal to Switzerland, Macau, and the high seas. I create Eurasian fusion cuisine with a deep respect for local, seasonal produce. Whether it’s a traditional Portuguese dish, a Mediterranean favorite, or a vibrant vegan creation, I cook with balance, soul, and bold flavor. Leave it to me, and I’ll serve food that speaks to the moment—and to your appetite.

I completed professional training at the prestigious Hotel and Tourism Schools of Coimbra and Aveiro, and I channel that foundation into tailored dining experiences for intimate dinners and special celebrations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Portugal?

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 61.80 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.

I cook Seafood/Fish, Italian, French, Fusion and Mediterranean. 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.
