Chef Facundo Kairuz

Private Chef in Miami

My name is Facundo, and I have been immersed in the culinary world for over 16 years. From my beginnings in Argentina to professional experiences in Uruguay, San Francisco, Paris, and New York, my journey has been shaped by diverse cultures, techniques, and flavors. Today, I am proudly based in Miami, where I continue to bring my international perspective to every table.

Cooking is more than a profession for me — it is a true passion. I believe that food has the power to bring people together and create meaningful moments. My goal as a private chef is to ensure that every gathering becomes an unforgettable experience, where guests feel cared for and inspired by what’s on their plate.

I work closely with each client to design fully customized menus, blending ingredients and culinary influences to create something personal and unique. Whether you prefer refined classics or bold, creative combinations, I tailor every detail to reflect your tastes and preferences.

Sourcing high-quality ingredients is fundamental to my approach. Over the years, I have built strong relationships with trusted local suppliers to ensure that only the freshest and finest products are used. I am also experienced in accommodating dietary restrictions and special requests, always prioritizing your comfort and enjoyment.

From the first conversation to the final course, I am committed to delivering a seamless and elevated dining experience. I look forward to the opportunity to create something exceptional for you and your guests.

Chef Facundo was so professional and the food was amazing !! Would 100% recommend !

Amazing and varied food! Would 100% do it again!

Highly recommend Facundo. Give him so much credit for putting up with a very rowdy bachelorette group. Everything was delicious, and I so appreciated him working with us on the menu and also doing extra work for a special wine pairing.

Chef Facu was incredible! Highly recommended booking him. The food was absolutely delish and he really went all out with preparation, presentation, and quality. LOVED IT SO MUCH! Will definitely book again for another event!

Chef Facundo made my husband's birthday extra special. We had a great time. The whole experience was awesome. We would hire him again. We will refer him to anyone looking.

Incredible experience and will absolutely use this service again and again.

Chef Facu was absolutely amazing! All the food was delicious, and he even offered to share the recipes with us! He was engaging and we loved having him be a part of our special night! 10/10 would recommend to anyone and definitely will be using him again!

Chef Facundo was the perfect choice for my sister’s bachelorette party dinner! The food was fantastic, he was wonderful to work with, and best of all he was incredibly flexible and accommodating of a ton of dietary restrictions and our schedule changes. I highly recommend him!!

Chef Facundo was amazing! We planned the menu together on the phone and he confirmed everything in chat. The dishes blew my guests away! He was so thoughtful incorporating vegan dishes in for 2 (of 6) vegans. Would highly recommend to friends. Will definitely use again when I’m in Miami.

Facundo was professional yet approachable and friendly. He phoned me the day before to go over the menu, make changes and answer any questions I had. He took on my specific dessert request with ease and excitement. He was polite, entertained our young child who joined in on the dinner and even brought his own candle for the dessert as it was my husband’s birthday. Would definitely recommend and use Facundo again in the future.

The whole experience was incredible. He pay attention to detail and the food was incredible. Love it !

I highly recommend Chef Facundo. He created a memorable birthday dinner, even going so far as to learn how to make the guest of honor’s favorite dessert. His meal was delicious and well-portioned and his service is impeccable. He is personable, careful and cheerful, and we would definitely hire him again.

Chef Facundo Kairuz is not only an amazing cook, but a pleasure to work with. I was throwing a birthday celebration for my boyfriend and managing the logistics for 16 people. Chef Facundo created a delicious menu despite all the allergies in the group! He offered to bring extra serving plates if needed (making setup a breeze), made delicious food, talked with the guests, and prepped the dishes for the dishwasher. I would hire Chef Facundo again and would recommend him to anyone wanting their party to be the talk of the town!

Chef Facundo was incredible! We hired him for a birthday weekend and he exceeded our expectations! I have extensive allergies and Chef Facundo was able to create meals for the entire weekend using fresh ingredients from the farmers market accommodating me and my friends for the weekend. He was extremely professional and clean throughout the entire time. I highly recommend his services for any occasion. Thanks for making our vacation memorable.

Chef Facundo was amazing, friendly, and so easy to work with from start to finish. An awesome surprise date night at home for my wife with a great 4 course menu, great presentation, and perfectly convenient at home with spotless cleanup at the end. Highly recommend, we would definitely do this again.

Chef Facundo was polite, kind, flexible, gracious and a joy to work with. I was not able to assess some of the questions, such as visual appeal and clean up as the service was for my relatives in a separate household, but I had to fill in the box to complete the form. I received the menu in advance via email. I would recommend, and already have, Take a Chef and Chef Facundo. Thank you for providing this service!

Chef Facundo was AMAZING!!!!! Can’t wait to book him again!

Chef Fecundo, Obviously loves his work and it is evident through his amazing dishes. I would recommend him to any one trying to have a special night with their significant other. I know he made our night special with his cuisine and light personality.

Awesome experience. Used for my wife’s birthday and will definitely use again even when we’re back to ‘normal’ w/ restaurants. We customized the menu ahead of time and everything came out perfect. Thanks Chef!

It was a great experience. Facundo was extremely professional. His dishes were great. Overall, a very pleasant chef and he was available to answer questions ahead of time and help make the evening special - particularly since it was last minute.
