Our Team

The Culinary Team Behind Bali's Private Dining Favourite

myCHEF is led by Adriano and powered by a 50+ person hospitality team trained for villa service, not restaurant shortcuts. Every chef is taught how to cook beautifully in unfamiliar kitchens, adapt to dietary requests, and leave the space spotless before they go.

That means better timing, calmer service, and food that still feels personal even when the event is large. From candlelit dinners to full villa celebrations, the chefs below set the standard.

Why It Works

How We Keep Every Chef Experience Consistent

6+ Months of Training

Every lead chef is trained on myCHEF recipes, villa kitchen workflows, guest communication, and cleanup standards before leading a booking.

Cuisine-Led Assignments

Mediterranean menus go to Mediterranean specialists. BBQ nights go to grill chefs. We match the chef to the menu, not the other way around.

Event-Tested Under Pressure

Our chefs regularly execute romantic dinners, birthdays, retreats, and large group BBQs in villas across Seminyak, Canggu, Ubud, and Uluwatu.

Service Beyond the Plate

Presentation, pacing, table reset, and kitchen restoration are part of the job. The experience should feel effortless from the guest side.
