Restaurant-quality dining in your villa

I cook for villas and houses in Comporta, Carvalhal, Brejos, Pego and Melides, among the rice fields, pine woods and dunes of the Alentejo coast. Slow lunches, fire-cooked dinners and weddings in the countryside suit this place perfectly.

Comporta sits beside the rice paddies of the Sado, so Carolino rice is at the heart of my cooking here, with clams, razor clams and fish from the estuary and the Atlantic. I add Alentejo black pork, pine nuts from the stone pine forests near Alcácer do Sal, fried cuttlefish in the Setúbal style, and Moscatel de Setúbal to finish.

I have spent a decade in Michelin-starred kitchens, as Sous Chef of R&D in the Noma group and Head Chef at Kokkeriet, and I bring that standard to every table I cook for. My story.

Questions

Private chef in Comporta: good to know

Can we go foraging with you around Comporta?

Yes. The pine woods, dunes and salt marshes offer wild herbs and coastal plants in season, and I can turn a walk into a cooking session.

Is Comporta far from Lisbon for a stay?

It is usually around an hour and a half by car from Lisbon, so I plan shopping between the Lisbon markets and the local suppliers.

Do you cook in Melides and Troia too?

Yes. Travel and accommodation are added to the quote, and I plan menus and shopping before I arrive.

Weddings

Getting married in Comporta?

I cook weddings at rustic villas, rice-field estates and pine-shaded gardens near the dunes, from an intimate dinner to 500 guests. See wedding catering in Comporta.
