Chef David Boyejo Oluneye

Private Chef In Marbella

I have been a professional chef with a strong foundation in French cuisine and pastry. With a versatile and dynamic approach to my craft, I take great joy in creating delicious, healthy, and heartfelt meals that bring people together.

My culinary journey began in Michelin-starred restaurants and prestigious kitchens across France, including Saint Tropez, Nice, Val Thorens, Courchevel, and the renowned Perigord region. Seeking to expand my horizons, I moved to Costa Rica, where I worked as a private chef and later became a restaurant owner, launching my own line of products sold in local stores and cafes.

In 2019, I opened Chez Boyejo in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol—an upscale, artfully designed restaurant located near the iconic Fish Alley (Calle Moncayo). The cuisine blends local ingredients with innovative fusion concepts, with every dish made fresh from scratch.

Since 2022, I have been working as a private and personal chef, continuing to share my passion for cooking by bringing my love of food into the homes and hearts of my clients. Each meal is a reflection of my commitment to excellence, care, and creativity.

Cooking is my passion, and it shines through in every dish I create. As I often say, “Cooking comes from the brain to the heart and expressed through the hands.” This philosophy drives my dedication to delivering memorable culinary experiences.

My work has been featured on various television networks and in newspapers across France, Nigeria, Costa Rica, and Spain. I am also proud to be a recipient of the TripAdvisor Excellence Traveller’s Choice Award in 2019, 2021, and 2022.

For me, cooking is...

is love, creativity, and connection. Bringing joy and care through dishes that reflect passion and dedication.

I learned to cook at...

From my grandmother, my mother, culinary training, and years of experience in kitchens worldwide, I’ve gained invaluable skills and passion.

A cooking secret...

My secret in the kitchen is passion, precision, and cooking from the heart—creating dishes that tell a story and bring joy to others.

My clients loved the experience last week and they mentioned that they still crave the desert he made to this day.

It was a very good experience having David cook for us for a few days. Very polite, clean, punctual, and the dishes were very good. Highly recommended.

David representó una nueva experiencia estupenda. Trato muy amable y cocina excelente. Ha sido un placer tenerlo en nuestra casa!

Thank you so much to Chef David for proving us with a much needed night off on our holiday. The food was delicious and of a very high standard. It was a really special addition to our holiday to be able to eat together and not have the stress of cooking or clearing up.

David Boyejo Oluneye is an extremely professional and talented chef. The whole process, from discussing dietary requirements and menus to sitting down at the table and enjoying the ultimate treat -his cooking - was a pleasure right from the start. Everything is prepared from scratch using high quality, fresh, locally sourced groceries and David goes to great lengths to accommodate his clients' requests. He cooked for us on two occasions. I really enjoyed his perfectly cooked striped bass, as well as the chicken teryaki with fried rice and lots of vegetables that I had on the second occasion. Appetizers were equally delicious and his desserts are to die for! We had plenty of time between courses to relax and enjoy our evening and David left everything beautifully cleaned up and put away. Needless to say, we highly recommend Chef David!

Chef Boyejo was a superstar, he was very easy to work with and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble and the food was excellent, the whole family enjoyed the experience and I would not only recommend him we will use him again.

Chef was very friendly and answered fast. We was very happy to cook us my special wishes. Food was delicious and I highly recommend him. Thank you :)

Chef David was amazing from start to finish! He was responsive, punctual and made our holiday in Marbella so much better. We all loved our breakfast on both days and we were so happy to wake up and have a beautiful and tasty spread of food ready for us. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

Chef David was amazing. It was my first time booking a chef and i had a great experience. The menu choices where great, the food was delicious and the portions were great. David had excellent communication with me before the event, and during the dinner he was professional, discreet and made sure we had an excellent dinner. Punctuality was amazing and i really have no complaints. 10/10.

David was incredible and cooked us a lovely dinner! Super easy to communicate with and decide on food etc. highly recommend!!

Chef David was amazing, 10/10 from the service to the food tasting amazing. I cannot fault it. Thank you so much for all your efforts you made my day!!

We had Chef David over to cook us a send off dinner before heading back home and it was an amazing experience. Chef David walked us through the entire process and helped us pick a menu that not only fit all our requirements but also made us try new and amazing things. Once Chef David arrived he already had most of the food prepped and started cooking right away. The whole experience was so engaging that we all stayed in the kitchen hearing about his dishes and his experience as a chef. Every dish was plated beautifully, and it was one of the most delicious dinners we’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting. We already started talking with Chef David to book another dinner with him! Forget about picking anyone else, if you want spectacular food, served by a wonderful chef, this is the person to hire!

Molto bravo. Persona rispettosa.
