Chef Luis Santos

Luis was great to work with He communicated very well and made things easy. The food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful! When he left, the kitchen was spotless- as if he were never there. I would highly recommend Luis!

Luis prepared a wonderful menu for our small wedding. We had many dietary restrictions and he accommodated them all with a tasty menu. He was very professional during the event itself. One of our ovens wasn’t working properly, so he pivoted and spaced out the dining experience. It went very smoothly. All of our guests loved each dish. Thanks Luis for helping make our day so special! - Jocelyn & Cassie

We booked Chef Luis Santos for a Hen party of 13 guests, and the experience was flawless from start to finish. Chef Luis was in excellent communication well before the event to ensure everything would run smoothly. He was incredibly friendly, polite, and professional throughout. The team went completely above and beyond, transforming our dining area with beautiful placemats, printed menus, napkins, and even flowers for the table. The service was immaculate; the waitress kept everyone’s drinks topped up all evening and cleared plates seamlessly. As for the food—it was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully. Thank you so much to Chef Luis and his team for making it such a special, unforgettable evening for the bride-to-be! Highly recommended!

We had a 3 course meal prepared by Chef Luis in Lisbon for my sister’s hen do. Absolutely amazing service and food. Everything was freshly prepared and cooked to perfection. Luis was very helpful, calm and a great chef experience overall. I would highly recommend.

Chef Luis was fantastic. The food was so tasty and the whole evening such a special treat. Thank you

Luis cooked a meal consisting of an appetizer, a starter, two courses and a dessert as part of a bachelorette party. Luis was very attentive in adapting the meal to our tastes. Everything was delicious and made with fresh products. He also cooked in a kitchen not at all optimized but he knew how to adapt perfectly. Communication before the event was very easy. Thanks again to Luis who made this evening so special for our friend, it’s one of the best moments of our weekend with friends.

I am so glad I booked with Chef Luis, his delicious food, beautiful presentation and excellent service really made our weekend in Sintra feel so special. We booked him for a meal each day Fri - Sun to cater for 16 people. He made everything from scratch, and you can tell the care and attention he pays to being a chef with every bite. All my guests loved his food (and we loved his mother and waitress Francisca who assisted each day), and he made each table setting look so incredibly pretty - not to mention left the kitchen absolutely spotless after each service! The reason why I booked with Chef Luis is the thoughtful menu he sent through - he knew exactly the kind of atmosphere I wanted for the weekend and he delivered it perfectly, I genuinely couldn’t have asked for better. Book with him, you will not regret it. Thank you Chef Luis for the best weekend!

Tive recentemente a experiência de um jantar com um chef privado em casa, organizado para comemorar uma data especial, e foi, sem dúvida, muito positiva. Desde o início, tudo decorreu de forma impecável, com grande profissionalismo e atenção ao detalhe. A equipa mostrou-se organizada, discreta e eficiente, criando um ambiente confortável ao longo de toda a refeição. O chef Luis Mateus, em particular, foi sempre muito acessível e disponível, o que tornou a experiência ainda mais próxima e personalizada. A qualidade dos ingredientes destacou-se imediatamente — frescos, bem selecionados e trabalhados com técnica e cuidado. Cada prato estava muito bem confecionado, equilibrado e cheio de sabor. Um ponto que valorizei foi o facto de terem trazido todos os instrumentos necessários para a preparação dos pratos, o que facilitou bastante a logística. Existe também a possibilidade de incluírem o serviço completo de mesa, com talheres e copos, embora neste caso eu tenha optado por utilizar os meus próprios. No geral, foi uma experiência excelente, que recomendo a quem procura celebrar uma ocasião especial de forma diferenciada, no conforto de casa, com qualidade, profissionalismo e um toque pessoal.

Das Essen war hervorragend. Jeder Gang wurde vorab wunderbar beschrieben und sehr schön präsentiert. Luis war sehr diskret aber doch zuvorkommend und hat die Küche in perfektem Glanz hinterlassen. Wir werden Luis auf jeden fall wieder buchen!

We had an incredible experience with Luis. He went above and beyond to ensure that our group was taken care of and he was very communicative!

The Chef was great. Food looked and tasted amazing and was even more than we expected. Really recommend, won’t disappoint!

The experience with chef luis was incredible, highly recommend!

Chef Luis cooked a delicious 3 course meal for our group of 14 with Portuguese BBQ meats and various salads, followed by panna cotta. There was plenty of food and his mother worked with him and served the food to the table so it was great we could all relax. Everything was left spotless afterwards and everyone really enjoyed it. Would recommend, thank you Luís

Je remercie le chef Luis pour son service, je l'ai choisi car son menu proposé pour l'apéro dînatoire de l'EVJF de ma soeur sortait du lot... Il m'a proposé 7 mets salé et 3 mets sucré ce fut vraiment excellent. La serveuse était très serviable et aimable toujours attentionné. Je ferai appel à lui pour la prochaine fois ! Je le recommande sans hésitation !

Chef Luis cooked a 4 course meal for my friends hen do and the whole experience was amazing. He came with his assistant and they were both absolutely delightful. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic- we felt like we were in a Michelin starred restaurant. The kitchen was spotless when he left. Would highly recommend and would definitely use him again!

Luis and his team were fantastic from the start, with his outstanding menu proposal, showing up three hour ahead of our dinner to start preparation, the excellent presentation and service throughout the evening and finally clean up, the kitchen was left spotless. We couldn’t have asked for anything more from an in house chef, everything was super smooth and effortless from our side and all the dishes were delicious.

Parabéns ao Chef Luís pela maravilhosa feijoada à brasileira! Um prato cheio de sabor, tradição e mestria, que conquistou todos à mesa. Obrigado por uma experiência gastronómica memorável.
