Executive Chef with extensive international experience across fine dining establishments and luxury hotels in Portugal, Switzerland, and Germany. Classically trained at the Porto School of Tourism and Hospitality, my career was built in high-pressure, world-class kitchens, including iconic restaurants such as Don Tonho, Cafeína, and Degusto, as well as prestigious venues like the Hôtel D’Angleterre, Kempinski, and Munich Marriott. Upon returning to Portugal, I consolidated my expertise as Head Chef at the Hotel Convento dos Capuchos.

Today, I bring an exclusive, restaurant-level fine dining experience directly into the comfort and intimacy of your home. My culinary philosophy bridges authentic Portuguese heritage with modern techniques and global influences. Every menu is meticulously designed as a sensory journey—combining technical precision, seasonality, and deep respect for the finest ingredients.

More than just preparing exquisite dishes, my goal is to deliver a seamless, stress-free event tailored entirely to your vision. Whether hosting an intimate dinner or a sophisticated gathering, I ensure every detail is handled with perfection, turning your event into an unforgettable gastronomic memory.
