Chef Silvia Barchi

I'm an Executive Chef and gastronomic manager based in San José, Costa Rica, with over a decade of experience creating high-level culinary experiences for private clients and top-tier corporations. My background blends classical culinary training with real business acumen — I've designed menus, managed full event operations, and led kitchen and service teams across some of Costa Rica's most recognized restaurants and catering concepts. I founded Art Cuisine in 2016, and since then I've had the privilege of cooking for clients like BAC, Calox, and Alliance Française, among others. Before dedicating myself fully to gastronomy, I practiced commercial and corporate law — which means I bring a level of organization, precision, and professionalism to every table that goes well beyond the kitchen.
