What types of private chef services do you offer?
We offer private chef services for home dinners, family-style meals, romantic evenings, small events, and private event catering in Lisbon. Each experience is tailored to the occasion, guest count, and atmosphere you’re looking to create.
How much does a private chef in Lisbon cost?
Pricing depends on the number of guests, menu style, and service format. Each booking is quoted individually based on ingredient quality, preparation time, and on-site service. You’ll always receive clear pricing before confirming.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend at booking at least two weeks in advance. Especially for weekends, holidays, or events in Cascais or Sintra, as markets can be busy and early planning ensures the best seasonal ingredients.
That said, we always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests when possible.
Do you accommodate dietary restrictions or preferences?
Yes. Menus can be adapted for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and other dietary needs. Preferences and restrictions are discussed during the planning stage to ensure everyone at the table feels comfortable.
What kind of food do you cook?
Our cooking is rooted in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors, with a strong focus on seasonal ingredients, fresh vegetables, seafood, and vibrant spices. Depending on the occasion, menus may range from mezze and shared plates to refined plated dinners or live-fire cooking.
For guests looking for something different, we also offer select regional menus, including Italian, Persian, Mexican, and Portuguese-inspired evenings. These are curated experiences, planned in advance and tailored to the group, rather than an open-ended menu list.
Do you offer private event catering in Lisbon?
Yes. We offer private event catering in Lisbon for small and medium gatherings such as birthdays, retreats, home celebrations, and intimate corporate events. The focus is on flexible menus, smooth service flow, and chef-led execution rather than large-scale catering.

When needed, certain elements may be prepped in advance or essential equipment brought along to ensure smooth service and consistent quality.

Most clients prefer to use their own tableware and linens. However, essentials can be brought on request, and we’re happy to help coordinate table styling when needed.
For special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, or corporate dinners, we can collaborate with local florists or rental companies to create a cohesive and welcoming setup.
