Private chef in Patagonia

Restaurant-quality dining in your lodge

A private chef for private lodges, estancias and remote expeditions in Patagonia, on both the Argentine and Chilean sides. Fire-cooked lamb under the open sky, wild ingredients and tasting menus at the end of the world.

Patagonia suits the way I cook: Patagonian lamb over fire, wild trout, king crab from the far south, calafate berries and wild herbs. Malbec and Pinot Noir from the north of Patagonia pair with the menu.

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.
