Gastronomy as a Complete Experience

A private chef in Cartagena goes far beyond preparing food. It is a complete sensory experience — from selecting fresh ingredients at the market to the final presentation at the table. Our chefs have international training, master Caribbean cuisine and turn every meal into a moment the group will remember as much as the best tour or the yacht day.

The difference between eating and savoring

Fresh Daily Ingredients

The chef goes to the market every morning and selects the best seafood, fish, tropical fruits and vegetables of the day. Nothing frozen, nothing from the supermarket.

Personalized Cuisine

The menu is designed according to your group's preferences — from traditional Caribbean cuisine to contemporary fusion. No limitations or fixed menus.

In your Own Space

The experience of dining at your private villa, on the yacht or at your island has an intimacy and exclusivity no restaurant can offer.

Diets and Allergies Handled

Vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free, allergies, keto, kosher or any special requirement. The chef adapts every dish without compromising quality.

Live Cooking

Watching the chef prepare dishes live is part of the experience. The group interacts, learns and enjoys the process before the first bite.

Cleaning Included

The chef leaves the kitchen spotless before leaving. Your group enjoys the meal without worrying about anything — before or after.

From a Caribbean breakfast to a multi-course gala dinner. Each service coordinated with the same attention to detail that characterizes LB Concierge.

Everything about our private chef service

How far in advance should I hire the chef?+

We recommend booking at least 24-48 hours in advance to guarantee chef availability and purchase of the day's freshest ingredients. For gala dinners with special ingredients like live lobster or premium seafood, 72 hours is ideal.

Does the chef bring all ingredients and utensils?+

Yes, the chef arrives with all fresh ingredients, special utensils, spices, condiments and everything needed for preparation. They just need access to your property's kitchen. Ingredients are included in the service price.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies?+

Absolutely. Tell us any restriction when booking — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, seafood, dairy, nut allergies or others. The chef fully adapts the entire menu without compromising the experience.

How many people can a private chef serve?+

A private chef can prepare with maximum quality for groups of up to 20-25 people. For groups of 25 to 60 people we coordinate a team of 2 chefs plus an assistant. For events over 60 people we activate the full catering service with complete team.

Does the service include kitchen clean-up?+

Yes, an essential part of the service is leaving the kitchen and preparation area completely clean before leaving. Your group doesn't deal with anything — before, during or after the meal.

Can they go to the yacht or island to cook?+

Yes, we coordinate the chef's travel to yachts, catamarans and private islands. The chef travels with all ingredients and equipment. Travel cost to destinations outside the urban area may have an additional charge depending on distance.

Can I watch the chef cook and can they teach me?+

Yes! Many groups choose the cooking class service where the chef teaches while preparing. It's one of the most popular experiences — the group learns to make ceviches, Caribbean sauces and typical Cartagena dishes from the chef directly.

Does the price include drinks and spirits?+

Basic menus include water, natural juices and non-alcoholic drinks. Wine, champagne and spirits can be coordinated as an additional service or provided by the group. For full sommelier pairing service, ask us.

Can you prepare special cakes or desserts for birthdays?+

Yes, we coordinate personalized birthday cakes, special desserts and everything related to sweet tables for celebrations. The chef works with trusted pastry chefs in Cartagena for these special requirements.

What other cuisines do they know besides Caribbean?+

Our chefs master traditional Colombian cuisine, signature Caribbean, Latin American fusion, Italian, Japanese (sushi and tiraditos), contemporary French and healthy cuisine. The menu adapts completely to the group's tastes.
