Philosophy
Elect a Chef customizes private meals in Barcelona based on what you like to eat, prepared by chefs who are best suited to make your personalized menu a success. If you want to eat sushi – we’ll bring in a chef who has trained at a Michelin starred restaurant in Tokyo. Of course we’ll leave out those ingredients which would make your evening less of a triumph. Try us out and see why our clients are calling our service ‘A revelation in personalized private dining.’
COVID-19 UPDATE: ALL CHEFS HAVE ATTAINED ‘CERTIFICADO HIGIENE ALIMENTARIA’ AND WE CONTINUE TO STAY CURRENT WITH THE SPANISH GOVERNMENTS UPDATES ON RESTRICTIONS WITH YOUR HEALTH AND SATISFACTION AS OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY

What Clients Say
"Our best meal in Barcelona. We were craving a Japanese meal using Spanish products and Elect a Chef delivered it directly to our Barcelona villa!! Five Stars!!!"
"A phenomenal meal prepared by Sean. The flavours, the presentation and the knowledge for his craft was incredible."
"I thoroughly enjoyed the entree and main from Sean's menu. The pork shoulder was, literally, out-of-this-world and the squash soup expertly balanced in flavor. Sean was perfectly unobtrusive as a server, and yet was very personable and informative when required. Great evening!"
