I’m a professionally trained chef from Portugal with experience in Michelin-starred restaurants, where I learned that exceptional dining comes from precision, respect for ingredients, and genuine hospitality. Today I’m based in New York, bringing together refined European techniques with fresh, seasonal ingredients to create memorable private dining experiences.

I enjoy designing menus that feel elegant yet approachable, whether it’s an intimate dinner for two, a family celebration, or a gathering of friends. My cooking is inspired by Portuguese traditions, modern European cuisine, and the pursuit of simple flavors executed with care.
