Private chef in Tenerife
A dinner cooked for one table only — at your villa, on a terrace above the sea, or on deck. The kitchen comes to you.
One table, one menu. Yours.
A private chef dinner is the simplest way to turn a holiday villa into an occasion. The chef arrives in the afternoon, the table is set while the light changes, and dinner is served without anyone having to book, drive or watch the time. It works for six friends on a terrace and for forty guests around a pool.
The menu starts with the island. Tenerife has fish from its own waters, small farms in the north, goat's cheeses, tropical fruit and vineyards on volcanic soil that produce wines rarely found outside the Canaries. We build each menu with the chef around the guests, their tastes and whatever is best that week — a long tasting menu, a relaxed table for sharing, or a Canarian evening with a modern hand.
Dinner can also travel. The same chef can cook a long lunch on a yacht at anchor off the west coast, a sunset grill done properly on a villa terrace, or breakfast for the morning after a party. For groups staying several days, we plan a sequence of meals so that no two evenings feel the same.
The dinner is never just the chef. We bring the service, the table, the wine and the light, so the evening feels complete.
Everything on the table, nothing in the sink.
A private dining evening usually includes:
The chef
Chosen for the style of the evening, from contemporary tasting menus to traditional Canarian cooking done with care.
The menu
Written for your guests, with allergies and preferences handled in advance, and tasted with you on request.
Wine & drinks
Pairings from Tenerife's vineyards and beyond, a sommelier on request, cocktails before dinner.
Service
Waiters and a host so that nobody at the table has to get up, and a kitchen left clean at the end.
The table
Linen, tableware, flowers and candlelight, chosen for the setting rather than taken from a catalogue.
Beyond dinner
Music, a cocktail hour at sunset, or a yacht where dinner is served at anchor.
From the menu to the last course.
We talk
About the guests, the occasion, the setting and anything the kitchen needs to know.
We write the menu
The chef proposes a menu and pairings; we adjust it with you until it feels right.
You sit down
The chef, the staff and the table arrive ahead of time. You host — or simply eat.
What people ask us first.
Can a private chef cook at our holiday villa in Tenerife?
Usually, yes. We check the villa's kitchen in advance and bring whatever equipment is missing. If the kitchen is very small, the chef prepares part of the menu beforehand and finishes it on site.
How many guests can a private chef cook for?
From an intimate dinner for two to a party of around fifty. For larger groups the chef brings a kitchen team and we add service staff to match.
Can you cater for allergies and special diets?
Yes. Allergies, intolerances and preferences such as vegetarian or vegan menus are collected in advance and built into the menu, not handled as an afterthought.
Do you use local Canarian produce?
Wherever possible: fish from local waters, cheese and vegetables from island producers and wines from Tenerife's own vineyards, alongside the best of what is in season.
How far in advance should we book a private chef?
One to three weeks is usually enough outside peak periods; for Christmas, New Year and summer weekends, book as early as you can.
Other evenings, other islands.

The occasion is already filled in — four short questions on the right, or skip it all and send a voice note on WhatsApp. Either way, it ends in a live chat with us.
We don't share your details. We don't add you to lists. We just reply.
Every event starts with a conversation — so this works like one. Under a minute, and it ends in a WhatsApp chat with us.
