Chef Rogerio Bento
Personal Chef In Mira
Get to know me better
I’m a passionate and driven chef who thrives on creating joy through food — blending tradition with creativity to craft flavorful, feel-good cuisine!
My culinary path began at 17 and has taken me from Portugal to Switzerland, Macau, and the high seas. I create Eurasian fusion cuisine with a deep respect for local, seasonal produce.
Whether it’s a traditional Portuguese dish, a Mediterranean favorite, or a vibrant vegan creation, I cook with balance, soul, and bold flavor. Leave it to me, and I’ll serve food that speaks to the moment — and to your appetite.

More about me
For me, cooking is...
To cook is to care — an art that feeds the soul, awakens the senses, and sustains our vitality.
I learned to cook at...
Completed professional training at the prestigious Hotel and Tourism Schools of Coimbra and Aveiro.
A cooking secret...
Treat it with love, and let the flavors rise above!
