Chef Mateus Alves

Private Chef In Paris

Hello,

My name is Mateus Alexsander and my heart belongs to Lisboa, despite being born in Brazil. I arrived in Portugal in 2015, and it is here that I discovered my true passion – cooking up wonderful meals in the kitchen! I have been following my dream for more than 7 years. I did my course in Kitchen Management and Production in one of the most prestigious Gastronomic and Touristic Schools in Portugal – Escola de Hotelaria.

Having always wanted to perfect my cooking skills, and eager to learn more, I recently did the Le Cordon Bleu Paris, the Verace Pizza Napolinata in Napoles, and Le Cordon Bleu Brasil.

I am passionate about exploring the traditional as well as modern and sophisticated cuisine, adding my special touch to everything I do.

I want each guest to feel welcome and fall as much in love with great home cooked quality food as myself.

For me, cooking is...

Mostrar todo meu amor e paixão nos pratos que faço.

I learned to cook at...

Tive a honra de aprender com cozinheiros tanto em formações quanto em ambiente profissional.

A cooking secret...

Tratar com amor e respeito cada ingrediente.
