Introducing the Algarve Ceviche Project.

My love of seafood began on the Cornish coast and developed more than 20 years ago while learning about fish with the likes of Rick Stein & many other great great chefs who I’ve met on the road of whom I owe alot to.

Since then, my career has taken me through London, France, Thailand and many other countries—each place adding new flavours, techniques and ideas to the way I cook.

After more than 12 years as a Private Chef in Portugal, this project along with a couple of others in the pipeline for 2027 seem to bring all those experiences together for me.

The Algarve gives us truly exceptional seafood. We take the finest wild, sustainable and seasonal fish available and prepare it with South American ceviche traditions, bright citrus, chilli, herbs and the aromatic flavours of Thailand and Asia with the fresh Algarvian produce.

One of my first memories are eating smoked fish with my grandad aged 3.

The Algarve Ceviche Project is the latest addition to the ever-expanding Algarve Chef’s Table Group.

I have always loved new projects and fresh challenges—and with hard work and the right people supporting me, it is finally possible to turn these dreams into reality.

Fresh fish. Lime. Spice. Umami……
Not forgetting the Portugese trading routes infused into the Mediterranean.

Welcome to the Algarve Ceviche Project.

One of the things our guests talk about most after returning home from our Provence Retreat…

Is the FOOD. 🇫🇷🍷🥖

One of the greatest luxuries of our Women’s Pilates Retreat isn’t just staying in a beautiful private villa—it’s having our own private chef preparing fresh, delicious meals for us every single day!

Imagine beginning your morning with fresh pastries, seasonal fruit, yogurt, specialty prepared eggs - and whatever other wonders our chef surprises us with - along with coffee and tea enjoyed on the terrace overlooking the gorgeous Luberon Valley.

After a day of exploring Gordes or other areas of Provence, you’ll return to colorful treats with fresh local ingredients, artisan cheeses, crisp salads, homemade breads, and regional specialties.

Evenings become one of everyone’s favorite parts of the day as we gather around the table to enjoy beautifully prepared dinners inspired by the flavors of Provence, paired with wonderful local wines and even better conversation.

There are no grocery lists.
No cooking.
No dishes.
No decisions.

Just sit down, relax, and enjoy.

Some of the best memories are made around that table—sharing stories from the day’s adventures, laughing until our cheeks hurt, and savoring meals that nourish both body and soul.

It’s one more way we take care of every detail so that all you have to do is arrive… and enjoy.

Welcome to Algarve Chef's Table 🍽️ — an intimate private chef service where every meal is crafted with passion, precision, and a deep love for what we do.

Our philosophy is rooted in something that feels deeply Portuguese 🇵🇹 : a fascination with the spice routes 🌶️ and the extraordinary way ingredients have travelled across the world 🌍, shaping the food cultures of Southeast Asia, India, Africa, and South America — and how those same flavours always find their way back to this remarkable country.

Our culinary journey ✨ begins with you. Whether you're craving the rich flavours of regional Portuguese cuisine 🥘 or the vibrant spices of Southeast Asia 🍜, we celebrate both tradition and innovation — crafting menus that are genuinely exciting, told through the lens of Portugal's rich culinary history 📖.

From sun-kissed breakfasts 🌅 to sophisticated dinner parties 🕯️, our international menu selections transport you across continents 🌐 without you ever leaving the comfort of your home 🏡. We combine the finest local and international ingredients 🧑‍🍳, prepared by a small, dedicated team who bring curiosity and care to every table.

No two days are the same. No two meals are identical. Just memorable moments 💫, shared with the people you love ❤️. by @jonathan_cloake
