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.
