Get to know me better

New on Take a Chef, I am a passionate, creative and perfectionist Chef, dedicated to transforming the finest ingredients into unique experiences.

I'm Pablo, Private Chef with over 15 years of international experience in fine-dining restaurants, luxury hotels and private chef services.

New to Take a Chef, but not to private dining: I have already served more than 150 guests as a Private Chef. So please consider not only the number of my reviews, but also their quality. ;-)

My career began in SPAIN and has taken me to SWITZERLAND and JAPAN, where I worked on haute cuisine concepts in prestigious establishments.

After training in COPENHAGUEN, I launched the Fiskebar restaurant in GENEVA, a restaurant specialized in Nordic cuisine, which was awarded ONE MICHELIN STAR and rated 15/20 by GAULT&MILLAU.

Back in Spain, the opening of the renowned Pelican restaurant group in Alicante was covered in 15 press articles (ELLE, VOGUEetc...)

Inspired by Mediterranean, Japanese, Nikkei, Peruvian and Nordic cuisine, I combine creativity, technical precision and strong management skills to deliver unique, personalized culinary experiences.

I am a passionate, creative and perfectionist Chef and a true food lover. I respect the ingredients, transform the finest products into memorable moments, and strive to create the healthiest possible meals while always taking my guests' personal tastes into account.

HOW I WORK

Every event begins with a conversation between you, me and my EVENT MANAGER. I design fully bespoke menus, personally selecting the finest fresh, local and seasonal produce.

I prepare most of each menu in my own professional kitchen in advance, using fresh, carefully selected local products. On the day, I only need a basic kitchen for the finishing touches and plating, so the experience stays relaxed and you can simply enjoy the moment with your guests.

My MENUS START FROM 53€ per person, depending on your choice (sharing menus or set menus). In every case, they include:

• Fresh, high-quality local ingredients

• Generous portions (we love making sure everyone is satisfied!)

• A fully customizable menu

• Private Chef and Event Manager

• Transport and travel

• Live cooking and plating

• Table service

• Full clean-up at the end

To make your event even more special, my Event Manager can also arrange the following additional services on request:

• Table and venue decoration

• Tableware and furniture rental

• Recruitment of service staff

• Food and wine pairing by a sommelier

• DJ and entertainment

Your only task: ENJOY!

MY PROMISE : A DISCREET, PROFESSIONAL AND MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE.

Outstanding private chef experience – Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We booked Pablo on extremely short notice—just 24 hours in advance—for my 40th birthday at a villa near Fortuna, and he organized everything flawlessly. Communicating with him in English was effortless, warm, and professional from the start. Pablo catered wonderfully to our group of ten adults, two children, and two toddlers. The menu was fantastic: five delicious tapas with homemade bread and aioli, followed by an authentic Paella Valenciana cooked live in front of our guests, and finished with an exquisite Crema Catalana. The timing was impeccable, Pablo was remarkably polite, and he left the kitchen completely spotless. We would book him again anytime! Thank you and warm regards, Dennis and family —— Experiencia gastronómica excepcional – ¡Totalmente recomendado! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Contratamos a Pablo con solo 24 horas de antelación para mi 40 cumpleaños en una villa cerca de Fortuna, y lo organizó todo de forma impecable. Comunicarnos con él en inglés fue fluido, cercano y muy profesional desde el primer momento. Pablo se adaptó a la perfección a nuestro grupo de diez adultos, dos niños y dos niños pequeños. La comida fue insuperable: cinco tapas deliciosas con pan casero y alioli, una auténtica Paella Valenciana cocinada en directo ante nuestros invitados y una exquisita Crema Catalana como broche de oro. Los tiempos fueron ideales, su trato sumamente educado y dejó la cocina impecable. ¡Repetiríamos sin dudarlo! Muchas gracias y un cordial saludo, Dennis y familia

An absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish! The chef was incredibly professional, attentive and well-organised, and everything was handled perfectly. The food was truly outstanding – beautifully prepared, full of flavour and exactly what we had requested. Every detail was taken care of, and the whole evening exceeded our expectations. We had a special celebration with a large group, and the chef played a huge part in making the occasion so successful and memorable. All of our guests were extremely impressed with both the food and the service. We would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a first-class private chef experience. We will absolutely be using him again – without a doubt!

El chef nos preparó una cena para dos muy cuidada, con auténtica delicadeza. Desde la preparación con antelación hasta la previsión de cada detalle, todo contribuyó a que disfrutáramos de una velada relajada, sin preocuparnos de nada. La combinación de sabores fue equilibrada y sorprendente, con matices que invitaban a saborear cada plato con calma. Disfrutamos de cada bocado y el cuidado se percibe tanto en la cocina como en la manera de servir. Su discreción, atención y profesionalidad hicieron que nos sintiéramos muy a gusto. Una experiencia íntima y especial, perfecta para disfrutar de una buena mesa en casa. Repetiremos encantados el servicio de Pablo Berenguer.

Je connais la cuisine de Pablo depuis Le Pélican et j’apprécie beaucoup son travail. Ce qui me plaît particulièrement dans son concept de chef à domicile, c’est de pouvoir retrouver cette qualité et cette créativité directement chez soi, avec une expérience beaucoup plus personnelle et conviviale. Pablo apporte son savoir-faire, travaille de très beaux produits et prend vraiment le temps de créer une expérience sur mesure. C’est une excellente façon de profiter d’un repas gastronomique sans avoir à sortir de chez soi, tout en partageant un vrai moment avec ses invités. Je recommande vivement Pablo pour un dîner particulier, un événement privé ou simplement pour se faire plaisir à la maison.

Hemos recurrido a Pablo para un evento corporativo muy importante para nosotros, que se llevó a cabo en nuestras instalaciones. Ha sido perfecto, muy profesional, se ve que está acostumbrado a este tipo de situaciones, aunque acaba de empezar como Chef Privado. Su comida es deliciosa y muy diferente de la que se encuentra en otras partes. Se ve que ha viajado mucho y que está apasionado por lo que hace. ¡Volveremos a recurrir a sus servicios! Hasta la proxima!!

Pablo est un grand Chef, et nous avons été absolument ravis de son travail. Ses plats étaient délicieux, raffinés et correspondaient parfaitement à ce que nous recherchions pour notre anniversaire. Nous avons l’habitude de manger japonais et avons clairement pu apprécier la différence : la précision des goûts, la qualité des produits et le soin apporté à chaque détail témoignent de son expérience au Japon et dans de très belles Maisons. Au-delà de sa cuisine, Pablo a été particulièrement attentionné tout au long de la soirée, tout en restant extrêmement discret afin de préserver l’intimité de notre anniversaire. C’est exactement ce que nous espérions pour cette occasion. Nous le recommandons vivement et n’hésiterons pas une seconde à faire de nouveau appel à lui pour une prochaine occasion !
