The right table
for the right winter.
A London-based private chef for select winter engagements in Miami — private villas, Art Basel season, international households and occasions where the calibre of the evening is not left to chance.
without the noise.
Miami in winter draws an international clientele whose standards in private dining are as precise as their standards in everything else. The city's best restaurants are exceptional — but for the households that matter here, the finest evening is still one that happens at home, with a menu conceived entirely for them and service that moves without being seen.
Andres brings to Miami a European sensibility rooted in technique and seasonality — adapted to the city's warmth, its Latin American influences, and the particular rhythm of outdoor entertaining that the climate here allows. Stone crabs from Joe's, Florida yellowtail, tropical produce that rewards restraint more than elaboration. The cooking is confident, light and well-considered.
Art Basel week operates at a different frequency — the expectations are higher, the guest lists more particular, the sense of occasion more charged. Andres has cooked for collectors, directors, private equity principals and cultural figures in settings where the food is the final measure of how seriously an evening has been taken.

Three ways to work
together in Miami.
Private Villa & Waterfront Dining
A dinner on the terrace. A lunch by the pool. A gathering of twenty for the kind of evening that Miami's private residences are built for. Menus that work with the climate — light, composed, generous in the right places. Shopping, preparation, service and clean-down all included.
Art Basel & Cultural Calendar
Art Basel Miami Beach, Design Miami, NADA — the week when the city operates at its most concentrated. Pre-opening collector dinners, gallery receptions, private celebration evenings. Food that signals the same level of attention as the work on the walls. Andres coordinates the full event, including service staff for larger occasions.

For international households who winter in Miami and want a private chef woven into the rhythm of the house — daily cooking, dinner parties, occasions as they arise. A consistent presence that adapts entirely to the schedule, the guests and the mood of the season.
