Tradition
At Private Chef Pimentel, tradition is the foundation of everything we do.
It is where memory, flavour, and identity come together to shape our cuisine.Our approach is rooted in Portuguese cooking — honest, comforting, and full of character — reinterpreted with technique, sensitivity, and a contemporary perspective. We respect timeless flavours, proper timing, and culinary gestures passed down through generations, elevating them through refined presentation and thoughtfully crafted experiences.Each menu is tailor-made, inspired by seasonal ingredients and the quality of the raw product. We work with natural, fresh ingredients, sourced locally whenever possible, because we believe true excellence begins with the origin of the product.More than cooking, our purpose is to create moments.
Moments that awaken memories, bring people together, and transform a meal into something truly meaningful.The private chef concept allows us to bring this philosophy into your home. In a relaxed and intimate setting, we recreate the essence of fine dining — without unnecessary formality, but with the same precision, care, and passion that define our work.Every dish tells a story.
Every service is designed to flow naturally, balancing flavour, aesthetics, and emotion.For us, tradition is not just about honouring the past —
it is about carrying it forward, with soul, authenticity, and identity.
