Chef Zandro Garcia

Chef Zandro was awesome. He was very polite and the food was delicious.

Chef Zandro curated an incredible four-course dinner with wine pairings for my birthday celebration in Rio, and the entire experience was amazing from start to finish! We began with a surprise appetizer featuring steak tartare and seafood bruschetta, followed by a tropical ceviche that was absolutely delicious—fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. For the main course, we had filet mignon with mushroom risotto, which was perfectly prepared and easily one of the highlights of the evening. We finished with tiramisu for dessert, and it was the perfect ending to an incredible meal. The wine pairings complemented each course beautifully. I especially appreciated how accommodating Chef Zandro was for one of my best friends who is vegan. He thoughtfully created dishes for her so that she could enjoy the full experience along with the rest of us. Beyond the food, Chef Zandro was communicative, professional, pleasant, and truly a joy to work with. Everything was beautifully executed, and the flavors throughout the entire meal were fantastic. He helped make my birthday dinner in Rio incredibly special, and I would absolutely work with Chef Zandro again the next time I’m in Rio. Highly recommend!

Our first evening in Rio was made truly memorable by an exceptional culinary experience. From the moment we arrived, Zandro (the chef) created an atmosphere that felt both welcoming and deeply authentic. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, showcasing not only remarkable skill but also a genuine passion for the culture and flavors of Rio. The meal served as more than just dinner, it was an introduction to the spirit of the city. Zandro's attention to detail, creativity, and commitment to quality were evident in every course. Beyond the food itself, the experience reflected the warmth and vibrancy that define Rio’s way of life. This was a perfect way to begin our time in the city, and I would highly recommend Zandro to anyone looking for an immersive and unforgettable dining experience.

I had an amazing experience. He is so nice and sweet and helpful. 10/10 would do it again

He was great! The food was the best we had in Brazil the whole trip! We’re so grateful for him!

Zandro was flawless throughout the 5 days. Always on time, attentive, highly professional and super organized. He handled a large group (15 guests) smoothly and efficiently, paying attention to every detail, even with all of us asking for “just one more little thing” every five minutes. The food was outstanding: delicious, high-quality dishes, beautiful presentation, and consistently excellent every single day. We were all very, very happy. If a group of Argentinians leaves the table quiet and smiling, you know it was serious. Highly recommended!

Chef Zandro was amazing! Everyone enjoyed the food. The breakfast tasted great, and the different dinner menus each night were amazing. Chef Zandro was very punctual, and if he was running a little behind due to traffic, he was sure to communicate. He and his assistant cleaned up after every meal and made sure the kitchen was in great condition after everyone finished eating. If I'm back in Rio and in need of a chef service, I will definitely contact Chef Zandro again. Thanks for an incredible experience, Chef Zandro.

O chef foi maravilhoso, atencioso do início ao fim, harmonizou de forma impecável os vinhos e a comida, ficamos muito felizes…

Chef Garcia and his team are incredible. From the moment he met us his goal was to provide outstanding service, and create not only incredible dishes, but an experience. He came on time and set up the entire area for a beautiful dinner along with a customized printed menu with a name of the dinner to provide an enhanced experience. I loved that he prepares one unique surprise appetizer for every client he meets, we were skeptical but he blew us away honestly delicious. He made sure that he knew all of our dietary preferences as well as ingredients that we like so he can incorporate everything into the dish, the food was spectacular. Chef Garcia is not only an amazing chef, but he is also an artist and desires presentations that go above and beyond what the expectations are. We tried his ceviche and it was one of the best we have ever had. His pastas are crafted by hand in front of you. All of his ingredients are very high-end and fresh, which is something that was very important to us. After each dish came out he made sure to explain every ingredient in the dish as well as the dishes Significance to him. His desserts were delicious and he created a beautiful cheesecake with passion fruit purée and coconut icecream all from scratch. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family . we have high expectations for meals and he met every single one not only that but exceeded them. He created one of the most memorable experiences for us. I would use him time and time again and would trust him to cook meals for my family. Insanely delicious!!!

Chef Zandro, Sus chef Renan e equipe foram formidáveis. A comida, além de bonita e apresentada de maneira esmerada, estava deliciosa. o meu pai, aniversariante completando seus 90 anos, não para de comentar do jantar. Fizemos uma viagem gastronômia à França. Foi realmente uma noite memorável, graças ao talento e à acolhida do chef e sua equipe. Não poderíamos estar mais felizes com o resultado. Não somente o contratarei novamente como o indicarei para amigos e conhecidos.

They made my birthday dinner so special! The best ceviche we have EVER had. I will definitely hire them again if I’m back in Rio! Thank you so much!!!

Lizandro was professional and gifted as well as organized and accommodating! Lizandro handled food prep for a bachelor party of 16 people and made it feel like we were in a great restaurant! Loved the experience and definitely would work with lizandro again!

Experiencia excelente! Muito bom
