I craft honest food and tailor every menu to your moment.

Chef John

I’m a professional chef with 15 years of experience and a culinary school background. My cooking draws from Mediterranean and Asian influences, including 5 years as a sushi master and experience in a Michelin-starred restaurant. I live by the saying, “Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.” I design every menu around you: we discuss and finalize it shortly before I arrive, so the experience fits your preferences, the season, the freshest ingredients, and any dietary requirements. Your meal can focus entirely on sushi, include classic Japanese dishes, or blend styles—like sushi as an elegant starter followed by French, Italian, or Mediterranean-inspired courses with Japanese touches such as tempura throughout.

My secret is to cook without secrets.

What you get when you dine with me

Cooking is my lifestyle

For me, cooking isn’t just a job—it’s my lifestyle and my approach to life. I bring that mindset to every detail, from ingredient selection to clean, honest flavors on the plate.

Experience shaped across Europe

I built my craft working in many restaurants across Croatia, Austria, and Italy, and I’ve also worked in a Michelin-starred restaurant. Those kitchens taught me precision, consistency, and how to adapt to every guest and occasion.

No secrets—only trust and technique

I cook without secrets. I believe great food comes from transparency, respect for ingredients, and techniques that elevate natural taste rather than hide it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Croatia?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 110 EUR, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Mediterranean, Japanese and Local. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.
