I’m a professional chef with 25 years of international experience, based in Cyprus. I cook for à la carte, buffet, and private dining, always focusing on clean preparation, healthy choices, and strong presentation on the plate.

I also cooked for 12 years in the Navy with NATO operations across 23 countries, delivering consistent quality under pressure and adapting menus to different tastes and standards.

What you get when you cook with me

I bring international flavor to every table

Cooking is my lifelong passion, and I bring international restaurant cuisine from across Europe and Asia into my private dining—always with balance, taste, and refined presentation.

I’m trained, experienced, and reliable

I learned to cook through culinary school, international restaurant work, and my NATO experience cooking for high-ranking guests like ministers, admirals, and commanders—so I know how to deliver quality with discipline.

I focus on the next plate, every time

My philosophy is to keep a little secret in every service: I’m always prepared to surprise you with a next plate that feels fantastic—fresh, clean, and crafted with care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Cyprus?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 196.80 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Japanese, Mediterranean, Seafood/Fish, Italian, Local, French, Fusion and Chef's special. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in Cyprus?

To book me in Cyprus, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Friends gathering, Romantic night and Corporate. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
