SALVIO CANTÓN PRIVATE CHEF

Private chef in Marbella and Puerto Banús

Fine dining, on board and at home.

No set menu and no restaurant kitchen. Every booking starts with a conversation: who is at the table, what you are celebrating, where the boat drops anchor. From there Salvio writes the menu, chooses the produce and cooks on site, so every plate is served freshly made.

Experiences

Five ways to sit down at the table.

From dinner for two at anchor off the coast to an event for a hundred guests. The format changes; the cooking does not.

Sunset at sea from a yacht deck

Yachts

Cooking on board, in the galley or at our own station on deck.

We work with charter yachts and private owners in Puerto Banús and the marinas along the coast. Lunch at anchor, dinner at sunset or full service throughout the trip.

To order

“Every dish is cooked for the exact moment it reaches the table.”

— Salvio Cantón

Fish is sliced shortly before it is served, meat comes off the fire at exactly the right point, and nothing waits on a tray. On a yacht or in a villa, everything is prepared right there, so every plate arrives as it should: fresh and just made.

Cuisine

Three styles, one standard.

Sample menus. The final proposal is written for each event, around the season, the table's tastes and any allergies.

The chef

SALVIO CANTÓN

Salvio cooks on the Costa del Sol, between Marbella, Puerto Banús and Mijas. His cooking brings together Japanese sushi technique, Andalusian produce and open-fire grilling.

He works to order and for only a few tables at a time. He writes every menu, leads his team and stays in the kitchen for the whole service. Many of his clients return every season, on the same boat or in the same villa.
