Chef Ronda Salavert Otal

Private Chef In Vega Alta

Hi! My name is Ronda and I'm from Barcelona.

I've been living the past 4 years in Puerto Rico, so the Menus are Puerto Rican with a Spanish influence. I always explain my story with the courses and I love to connect with the group to create a very memorable night!

My mission is always to have fun, create a comfortable space to talk and make everybody feel special. Food and Drinks are made with lots of love, you will taste it for sure!

Now I'm working towards having my own restaurant with a Fine Dining and Creative Tasting Menu, with an innovative Cocktail Pairing with liquors produced here. That's why I always recommend trying it for adventurer foodies, it's all my 7 years of Experience working in restaurants in just a few dishes.

With all the Menus, expect the restaurant at your home: an elegant table, fresh and tasty dishes, beautiful presentations, attention to the details, lots of stories and good vibes, traditional dishes with some twist and fruits or vegetables that you may have never tasted before. For me, the real flavors of the island.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING MY UNIQUE SERVICE:

- For the Tasting Menu, all the food would be served in individual

portions and all the group should choose the same options (if

somebody needs a different option from the rest, I'm flexible with

that).

- For the Family Style Menu, all the dishes will be served in the middle of the table, ready to be shared by the guests (the Dessert will be served individually).

- All Menús are served like a complete Sit Down Dinner and the dishes served one after the other.

- All the Experiences include: One Glass of Cava per person to Toast, Spanish Wine Pairing (One Bottle every 2 people) or Cocktails Pairing (you can request a personalized Menu at least 7 days prior the reservation). I include Tables and Chairs (if needed), Crystal Glasses, Plates, Silverware, Cloth Napkins, Table Cloth, Table Decoration and Candles.

- You can request the Menu without Alcohol for $15 less per person (must apply to all the group)

- Kids Menu is $69pp and it includes 50% of the adults portions or a personalized Menu with 2 Small Appetizers, 1 Small Main Dish and Dessert.

- If you are a group of 5 or 6, please message me to adjust the price (the price set is for groups of 3 or 4)

- Because I cook most of the preparations at the moment and I plate them with love and details, my Experience takes longer than going to a restaurant. That's why I always bring games with me, so the group can play between the dishes.

- Right now, the Family Style Menu timing is an average of 3.5 hours and the Tasting Menu of 4.5 hours. All depends on how big is the group, the distribution of the House, if there is any interruption from the group and the Kitchen Set Up. This is an example of the detailed timing:

- It takes me 2 hours to set up.

- The First 20 - 30min of the Dinner is the

presentation and Toast with Cava or Champagne

- Then it takes around 20min for each Appetizer

- Main Dishes take around 30min for each.

- After the Desserts I have surprises, that takes aprox 20min.

- Clean up is aprox 2 hours, if you need a shorter clean up, you can request it (at least one week before the event).

- The Dinner is going to take place in the nearest space to the

kitchen posible. If you choose to have the Dining Table in another

level of the House with Stairs involved, it has an additional fee.

- If the House has Stairs to get to the kitchen or there is no parking available in front of the entrance, it is mandatory to help carrying the boxes with my equipment on my arrival and departure. It is mandatory to inform about this situation at least a week before the event, failing of informing about this or other special conditions of the House may delay the service or be canceled.

- I don't do check-in or arrive by myself to the house. If it's needed, first you must ask the chef and wait for her approval before confirming the reservation. If you inform about it one week or less before the event, the chef reserve the right to cancel.

- The house must have an indoor kitchen with stove (oven is not required).

*All this information is to ensure the best and most memorable night of the trip. Please ask me if there's any question or special request!

CHEERS FOR A FUN NIGHT!!!

For me, cooking is...

Everything. I am all day creating dishes, reading about new recipes and filming recipes for social media. It's my passion.

I learned to cook at...

Very different restaurants. From Small Tapas Restaurants in Barcelona, to International Hotels, Bigger Restaurants and Puertorican cafés.

A cooking secret...

Is using local products that only grow here and cooking from scratch. Learning the puertorican traditional dishes and renovating them.

A few of us gathered to celebrate my bachelorette and knew that a personalized private dinner at our airbnb would be fun. Ronda did not disappoint. She is soooo thoughtful and very accommodating. Every dish took us through a part of her journey. She got to know us as well because of her engagement with the group. Highly recommend this experience with Ronda!

Ronda was an amazing chef! She not only told a story throughout our delicious 8 course experience but she infused her Barcelona roots with Puerto Rico’s tradition! 15/10 expierence with a chef that has an beautiful soul tie the whole expierence together!

Rhonda made our dining experience unforgettable. From the moment she arrived, her warm personality and attention to detail set the tone for a wonderful evening. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, but the highlight was when she surprised us with a mini cake that made the night even more special. It felt like she truly went above and beyond to create a memorable experience. I’ll always recommend Rhonda to friends and family and can’t wait to try her full dinner menu. If you’re looking for a personal chef who brings joy and creativity to the table, Rhonda is the one!

Rhoda is a superstar chef, host, story teller with a wonderful personality 11 out of 10! I will hire her again! Don’t look further / she’s the best of the best. All my 10 guests were overwhelmed by how good it was

Rhonda is an absolute Angel! She is the sweetest person and an Amazong chef! Her stories for each dish were both engaging and touching. The bonus for me was how sweet she was with my 7yr old daughter! We literally wanted to take Rhonda home with us lol.

Ronda was AMAZING!! You can definitely see her passion for cooking behind each story she told for each dish. She was very personable and interactive. She was a highlight to my birthday.

Chef Ronda Salvert was phenomenal and made a very special night of mine incredible. The quality of her cooking paired with her engagement and attentiveness shows she truly is passionate of her work. If you are in Puerto Rico, I couldn’t recommend her enough. She was fantastic

Chef Ronda was absolutely amazing. Her bubbly personality, the table decor, her stories, her attentiveness, and the food elevated the experience. She was cheerful and an absolute joy to be around. She brought a beautiful selection of decor to decorate the table that just elevated the experience, and her stories made us smile. She customized the decor, food, and cocktails to reflect our specific needs and communicated with us every step of the way. The food and cocktails were beyond amazing, and we still talk about the amazing dishes we had today. The whole experience was Michelin level, and if we are ever in the area we will definitely book a private dinner with her again. If Chef Ronda is available for your event, do not hesitate to book her!! She is absolutely amazing, and you do not want to miss out on this experience!

Our dinner with Chef Ronda was one of the best experiences we have ever had! She prepared an incredible 10 course vegan tasting menu for our family. From spending so much time beforehand to plan the perfect vegan menu - to leaving our Airbnb kitchen cleaner than she found it - she went above and beyond from start to finish. Ronda is an extremely talented chef and a great communicator and planner. She truly thought of everything. She created a vegan menu to include some of my husband’s favorites as well as options for my two young kids. The dinner was fantastic - beautifully presented, innovative, and absolutely delicious! We tried new things, laughed a lot, and truly enjoyed our evening with her! She is a true gem!

I can’t even put into words the appreciation I have for Ronda! Her cooking was exceptional, her introduction of every dish was spectacular, each dish was beautifully presented with a story that kept you enthralled. I couldn’t even believe what I was eating. Ronda is a professional through and through and should you get the luxury of having her cook for you, do not miss on this opportunity, she is a beautiful, kind hearted soul who truly enjoys her profession and enjoys creating these masterpieces. I cannot wait till the next time I land in PR she will be the first call I make before I even get an AirBnB!!! Thank you Ronda you truly made this trip memorable!????????

Chef Rhonda is INCREDIBLE! From the very beginning she was communicative and easy to get in touch with. She went above and beyond to clarify questions and accommodate food allergies and restrictions. Our group of 8 was excited for our dining experience from the very start and absolutely fell in love with Rhonda the moment she got to our house! Her bubbly and eager personality is infectious. She got right to work setting up a gorgeous table and preparing our meals. We selected an 11 course tasting menu and EVERY SINGLE DISH WAS MAGICAL. The passion behind each dish and how it connected to the local community and her upbringing was abundantly clear. Not only was the food 20 out of 10 the presentation of each dish was also gorgeous. Additionally, the cocktails she presented matched the flavor palette of each dish perfectly. Our group cannot say enough about how this was the best meal we’ve ever tasted. We loved our trip but what makes us all want to go back the most is Rhonda’s food. All I can say is BOOK HER. We will be back to dine with her again!

The whole experience was amazing! Ronda made our Birthday celebration so special!

It was an amazing dinner start to finish! Definitely the highlight of our trip to Puerto Rico. Chef Ronda uses local ingredients to make incredible courses. She is a delight to be around. Highly recommend.

Chef Ronda was absolutely amazing. She was easy to work with and happy to answer all of my questions. She was accommodating and understanding when we were deciding on the menu.

Rhonda was incredible! She made my 40th birthday celebration extra special. The food was everything I hoped it would be and more. She was so kind, engaging, and truly felt like family. Thank you so much!

Rhonda was amazing. She was very sweet and made the most out of a very small kitchen at the Airbnb. The dishes were each beautifully prepared for pictures and tasted amazing. Could not have asked for better. All 11 of us were so happy with the food and drinks.

Ronda was such an amazing chief. The food was amazing. Her energy was amazing. I recommend her to anyone if you are looking for an amazing chief.

Chef Ronda was absolutely amazing! We had the best time with her

My family and I were treated to an incredible night of exceptional food and wonderful service. Ronda exceeded our expectations. She was attentive, very engaging with my grandchildren and for every culinary experience she had a story to go with it. We had a traditional Puerto Rican menu including Churrasco and Seafood Paella. Needless to say, we left the table very satisfied in every way. Thank you chef Ronda for making our family dinner a memorable one. Madelyn Coopersmith

Chef Ronda was absolutely amazing. She catered to every need we had and even went above and beyond for us. She modified her menu for my wife's taste. She was 100% awesome. Full of stories, very personable. She was with us for a long time with no rush. I would recommend her and i hope she starts a restaurant soon

Ronda was AMAZING!! You can definitely see her passion for cooking behind each story she told for each dish. She was very personable and interactive. She was a highlight to my birthday.
