Enjoy the feast, skip the effort
Let a private chef elevate your meals
WELCOME TO KYLIAN'S FOOD
I believe in the power of honest, farm-fresh ingredients for a healthier, more flavourful life. Whether for retreats, weekly meal prep, or as an oyster chef serving oysters in various styles, I bring quality and care to every dining experience.
Chef Kylian Minken
With 18 years of experience, my journey as a chef has been shaped by a love for travel, discovery, and incredible flavors. Cooking in both fine dining and casual kitchens has refined my techniques, while exploring different cultures has deepened my appreciation for ingredients.
Portugal holds a special place in my heart—its rich honey, juicy Algarve oranges, flavorful chorizo, and sun-ripened tomatoes are simply unmatched. The combination of fertile soil, ocean air, and time-honored traditions makes every dish come alive.
For me, being a private chef is about more than just great food. It’s about creating a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where you can truly enjoy the moment. From start to finish, I take care of everything, so all you have to do is sit back, savor the flavors, and enjoy the experience.
