Chef Juan Pablo Calvo

Private Chef In Playa Del Carmen

FINE DINING IN YOUR HOME. I am a chef with more than 20 years of international experience. While I was studying I worked in a catering company which helped pay for my studies. Born in Patagonia Argentina and my obsession with travel and discovery has made me stay in various places and work in the United States . Spain , Italy and then in Mexico where I made roots and is where I currently live.

Thanks to the people and places I have been to, I have been influenced by various gastronomic cultures, which is why I like the fusion style and I don't like just one style of cooking.

I consider myself a man of the world and an open mind with varied tastes and styles which enrich the experiences of my guests.

Breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinners

For me, cooking is...

A lifestyle where I can express my creativity and my passion for gastronomy.

I learned to cook at...

I made a mischief when I was 10 years old, because of my mother's oversight I cooked a cake

A cooking secret...

Use good quality ingredients and execute the appropriate techniques for each product

This was our first time booking a private chef, lucky for our family we got Juan Pablo. He was the best! He had open communication from the moment we booked from our menu, to days and meals requested. His food was delicious, authentic beautifully presented and just fantastic! He was very accommodating with food options and meal times. He always left a clean space after working and took his time attending to our family. Our next trip to Akumal he will be our chef. Thank you Juan

Chef Juan Pablo was amazing! We asked for a tour of authentic Mexican dishes, and he tailored the menu to our requests and each course was beyond delicious. We went to a number of the area’s high priced restaurants, but we all agreed that Chef Juan Pablo’s meal was the best food we had during our visit to Cancun. We highly, highly recommend!
