Porto is a place of many contrasts. It's a vibrant cosmopolitan city with an old-world charm that makes it one of the most coveted spots for travelers. If you love to travel, you'll appreciate its well-preserved architecture, quaint cobblestone streets, and view of the Atlantic Ocean from atop a hill.
But if you're a food lover who loves to explore new places through food—then Porto is your kind of city. The food scene in Porto is diverse and exciting, and there are so many great places to eat that it can be hard to know where to start.
One of the things that makes Porto so great for foodies is its vast array of restaurants serving traditional Portuguese cuisine and international specialties ranging from sushi to Mexican and Indian food.
To enjoy the best meals in Porto, you should consider hiring a private chef. Getting a personal chef ensures that you don't have to go to a restaurant to enjoy a meal; instead, you can have a chef prepare it in your home or event.
Here’s a taster to give you an idea of what you can expect from Porto’s private chefs:
One chef represents Porto’s international culture. He has over 30 years of experience cooking in several European countries and on cruise ships. He considers himself a chef of national, international, and molecular cuisine.
This has earned him a 5-star rating from the previous clients he has worked with. He has also attended several cooking classes and worked with the experienced Chef Maximo Bottura.
His main kitchen recipe uses fresh products to produce all dishes from scratch. Some of the services he offers include home cooking courses, catering in events, culinary consultant, and home chef services.
Another admits that she fell in love with cuisines when she was younger, pushing her to be what she is now. She has gained experience from training and working with chefs like Massimo Bottura and Grant Achatz.
Her main kitchen secret is respecting ingredients as they determine the kind of recipes that she creates. She uses her cooking skills to help create endless sensations for all those who taste her food, and this has earned her a 4.5 -star rating.
Her main services include personal home chef services, full-time chef, and culinary consultant.
A third chef combines the best gastronomies in the world, especially from her native Angolan origin, to make one of the best cuisines in the world. She has experience working in top restaurants like Chef Joachim Koerper's Eleven and Hotel Fauchon.
She has also worked as a chef for other top stars in Europe, making her one of the best private chefs you can hire. Her special cuisines include the monkfish poché in black olive oil, the grouper carpaccio, and the Iberian pork cheeks. When you taste her dishes, be sure you'll want more.
Her services include private chef services, catering events, and show cooking.
The cost of a private chef will depend on the menu you pick, how many people are in your party, and any additional fees they charge. The average cost of a private chef is approximately €100 per person. This includes the food, preparation, and service of the meal to you and your guests.
For larger groups, we can provide a service for up to 100 people, which usually starts at around €70 per person, including drinks (non-alcoholic).
Prices can also be determined by seasons and the time of the day. For example, during dinners and festive periods, the demand for private chefs increases, and so does the cost.
