Chef Luis Fernando Gracia

Chef Privado en Tulum

Soy un cocinero originario de Nuevo Léon, México donde empecé mi carrera profesional desde los 18 años.

Realice algunos diplomados de cocina y vinos en Argentina y cuando termine mi carrera continúe mi experiencia en el País Vasco, España en el Restaurante de Martín Berasategui, donde me ofrecieron un puesto en su restaurante en Playa del Carmen en 2012.

Con más de 10 años en la Riviera Maya y teniendo gratas experiencias en los mejores restaurantes y aprendiendo de autenticidad, buenos ingredientes y excelente servicio, de chefs y restauranteros de México y el mundo, teniendo influencias de Cocina Mexicana, Española y Francesa adaptando ingredientes y técnicas a mis ideas que le dan una personalidad única a cada platillo.

En 2022 trabaje en un restaurante mexicano en la isla de Corfú, Grecia. donde compartí mis recetas y donde después regrese a Tulum para tomar un diplomado como Sommelier.

A través de Take a Chef durante 5 años he realizado más de 200 experiencias privadas con personas de todas partes del mundo compartiendo mis enseñanzas y anécdotas en la cocina.

En cada experiencia trato de darle un toque personalizado a mis platillos con ingredientes de la región y otras zonas de México, buscando ofrecer una experiencia completa y ofreciendo sabores e historias de México y otras partes del mundo

Para mi la cocina es...

El lugar donde me siento libre y en el que puedo expresarme, donde puedo olvidar todo lo que hay fuera, malo o bueno, es mi jardín zen.

Aprendí a cocinar en...

En Nuevo Léon, haciendo de comer para mis amigos y familia poco a poco conociendo distintos ingredientes y técnicas para experimentar nuevos sabores.

Un secreto...

Transmite tus sentimientos y emociones a los platillos. Acepta tus errores, aprende de ellos y compartelo a los demás para que lo procuren no hacer.

Every bite was a delightful surprise, and we loved the creativity behind the menu. Not only was the food outstanding, but the chef’s knowledge and passion for their craft really shone through. Luis was incredibly personable, answering all our questions and making the evening feel like an intimate, unforgettable culinary journey. The entire experience was stress-free, as Luis took care of everything from start to finish, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the evening. It was the perfect combination of fine dining and personal connection. We highly recommend this private chef service to anyone looking to elevate their next occasion.

You can tell he has a real passion for what he does. I would highly recommend Luis to anyone looking for a top-notch private chef!

Thanks chef Luis :)

Chef Luis really went above and beyond to make my bachelorette dinner a hit! Thank you so much for being such a flexible and kind chef! The food was amazing

I absolutely would hire him again! Setting up for his arrival was smooth and his cooking skills truly shine in the food. His thorough explanations on ingredients and mixes really helped tie the dishes together. Everyone in my group had a great time. He was very professional but also felt like a friend was cooking for us.

Our experience with Chef Luis during our stay in Tulum was absolutely exceptional. From start to finish, he was incredibly professional, courteous, and made delicious food. The food was outstanding! We especially loved the dumplings, steak, and mashed potatoes, with carrots – every bite was flavorful and expertly prepared. You can tell Chef Luis puts great care into his dishes, and it made for such a memorable evening. I highly recommend engaging in this experience if you're staying in Tulum.

We had a really great experience with Luis. He was very accommodating in making slight changes to our selected dishes given our dietary restrictions. He explains the ingredients that went into each course. And each course was plated beautifully and was flavorful. For my main course, I had grilled fish, mashed potatoes, and a garden salad. I enjoyed everything, especially the grilled fish and the mashed potatoes. Overall, the experience was really great from start to finish.

We had an incredible night with Luis. Luis was very helpful and helping us plan our menu and was very communicative helping us plan our Christmas Eve. He decorated the table and then thoughtfully explained each course, the ingredients that went into it and how it applied to our location and his culinary history. Everything was plated beautifully, and the flavors were amazing. Probably our best meal of our stay.

Erfaren och trevlig kock som lagade god mat men som vi också hade en fin konversation med om Mexico och blandade ämnen. Han gjorde väldigt fint efteråt vilket är ett plus. Mycket rikliga portioner också samt flexibel vad gällde att välja derssert.

Don’t hesitate to book Luis!! He not only created a beautiful meal, he took the time to take us thru the ingredients, taught us about preparation, and the kitchen was spotless when he left! Beautiful stories and flavours!

Chef Luis was excellent. Delicious menu.

Luis was amazing! He was friendly and his menu was delicious. He took care of all the dishes afterwards as well and came well prepared! Thanks again Luis! Would recommend this for any trip to Tulum.

Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The food had delicious, unique flavors, and the chef made great use of what was available to set up the table. He also cleaned the kitchen thoroughly after use, which was much appreciated.

I loved this experience! The chef arrived on time, explained every plate to us and the food was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! it was perfect for a night in with my friends!

Best chef in tulum , his food was soo amazing. If I could book him for a lifetime I would !

AMAZING! I recommend booking g with Luis, he was on time, clean, organized, prepared, polite. This experience made my boyfriend’s day for his 40th birthday! It was the best meal over ever had (we ordered ceviche, lobster entree and octopus entree)

Such an amazing way to start off my birthday. He was very professional and the food was so delicious! I tried something new and he did not disappoint. He also brought my favorite dessert and a sparkler which really made the moment sweet.
