If you’re dreaming of dining like royalty without leaving your villa or holiday rental in Tenerife, this private chef experience might just be what you’re looking for. Although I haven’t personally tried it, the reviews paint a pretty appealing picture: a personalized, gourmet meal crafted and served in your own space, delivered with warmth and professionalism.
What we love about this experience is the flexibility—whether you’re celebrating a birthday, hosting a family reunion, or simply craving a luxurious dinner, Chef Roberto Medda tailors each menu to your needs. And the quality of the food consistently gets high praise, with many reviewers mentioning the freshness and variety of the ingredients.
However, a potential consideration is the price point—around $113.49 per person—not necessarily cheap, but many find it fair given the bespoke service and restaurant-quality cuisine. Plus, availability seems to be in high demand, often booked about three weeks in advance, so planning ahead is a smart move.
This tour is ideal if you value personalized dining experiences and want top-tier food without the hassle of cooking yourself. It suits those celebrating special moments or anyone who simply wants a memorable, private culinary adventure in Tenerife.
