Private chefs in Albufeira

Chef Amilcar was excellent, professional and friendly service. Would highly recommend to anyone. Cooked for a group of 15 and the food was cooked to perfection. Thanks again Chef

Thomas was amazing. Quick to respond to messages before I confirmed the booking and menu and v efficient once in the kitchen. We had an amazing evening with wonderful food. Thomas and his assistant were friendly and informative throughout. Would definitely recommend.

Tiago and Patrica where superb! The communication from the very first contact was exceptional and Tiago was very responsive to our needs and altering the menu to suit us and our guests. On the day the food Tiago and Patricia produced was amazing and all the little 'extras' that they provided very much appreciated and enjoyed by us and our guests. Without any hesitation I can throughly recommend Tiago. I just wish I had taken pictures of the food to add to this review.

Tiago was fantastic! I highly recommend hiring him. He was very responsive, flexible and super friendly prior to and during our yoga retreat. He straight away understood our needs and proposed great menus. During the retreat he listened to our feedback and adapted the subsequent meals e.g. reduced sugar. The food was great, including taste & presentation. Tiago pays attention to detail, the service and explanation of the dishes is highly professional. We felt very well taken care of, thank you so much Tiago!!

Super Efficient. Great food and plenty of it. Very flexible in determining your menu. Very accommodating regarding timings for courses etc. No hesitation in recommending Tiago. RLS - London

Chef Lino was amazing! Incredible chef who made us the most amazing, traditional Portuguese meal. He was communicative, super efficient and super friendly. He cleaned up after us as well so that we could sit back and enjoy the amazing evening. So grateful for the experience. Highly recommended!!

Lino was great!!

Chef Lino went above and beyond to make our dinner exceptional. He was wonderful to work with and the food he prepared was with care. He exceeded our expectation and was a highlight of our trip to Portugal. His passion for food, the craft, the history, the science was evident with how he complemented each dish with insight and stories. We felt very lucky to be in his care for the night.

We hired Chef Thomas to cook our family group or 8 adults two dinners during our holiday in the Algarve. From the outset he was very helpful, prompt in responses and a pleasure to correspond with hence why I selected him. He was more than happy to cater the menus for our tastes including allowing for dietaries and the food was outstanding. We also asked him to select some suitable wines for the meals and provided huge details on them when serving. Overall he was a brilliant choice and a very talented chef.

We had the pleasure of having Chef Vera cook for our hen party, and we couldn't recommend her more! She arrived at 5 PM to start prepping, everyone who walked past the kitchen mentioned how amazing it smelt. By 8 PM, the table was beautifully set, and we were treated to a feast that included everything from cheeses and olives to chicken wings, peri peri chicken, Picanha steak, seafood, potatoes, and salads. The prawns, steak and potatoes were the star of the show, everyone loved them so much, we barely had enough to go around! The food was all delicious, and we had plenty of leftovers, which made for a perfect lunch the next day. Chef Vera was professional, and made the entire experience so enjoyable. We would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for something different for their event. A truly memorable experience, thank you, Chef Vera!

An unforgettable experience! The food was simply incredible — full of flavor, beautifully presented, and made with such care. Beyond the amazing dishes, Chef Luis himself was respectful and professional, which made the evening feel effortless. Truly a 5-star experience I’d recommend to anyone!

Chef Vera is so sweet and food devine

Experiência única! Desde o ambiente que conseguiram criar, aos pratos maravilhosos que cozinharam e ao diálogo que foram capazes de construir! Sem dúvida, uma experiência a repetir! Obrigada Chef Virgílio e Rosalie por tornarem o nosso dia ainda mais especial 💚

Chef Caglan was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish! We’d been in communication for a few months before the event planning the menus and he was responsive, creative and flexible. His food was SO delicious for both the lunch and dinner he cooked. Would recommend him to everyone and hire again next time in Portugal. Thank you again!

Our dinner at home with Luis Miguel as our private chef was a pure delight. His dishes were superb, and beautifully prepared. He also offered charming company during the evening, and served efficiently and graciously, as well as leaving the place spotless. In short, a highly pleasurable experience which we will be looking to repeat with Luis in the near future.

Jack catered a home party for 25 guests. The food was wonderful and accommodated well every guest that had dietary restrictions. He also selected great wines and coordinates wine glass rentals. His menu was very diverse and enticing. And definitely A+ when it comes to communicating and coordinating.
