Private Chef Placement in Barcelona

City households and coastal houses

Barcelona briefs split in two: apartments in the city where a chef cooks three or four times a week around a working family's schedule, and summer houses on the Costa Brava where the same family entertains constantly for two months. Often it is one chef doing both.

A deep culinary talent pool

Catalonia has more serious kitchens per square mile than almost anywhere in Europe, and a steady flow of chefs leaving them for private work. That is good news for households here — the standard of candidate is high — but it also means restaurant pedigree alone doesn't tell you who will suit a family.

Catalan produce and a short supply chain

The Boqueria is a tourist attraction; the chefs we place shop at Santa Caterina, Sants and the coastal markets. Knowing where things actually come from, and when, is one of the things we ask candidates about.
