How it works
Four things happen, and none of them are your job.
You don't shop, prep, plate, serve, or wash up. You pick a date and open the door.
01
You talk
A short WhatsApp conversation about how many people, what you like, and what you can't eat.
02
He shops
Same morning, at the market. Fish off the boat, not out of a freezer.
03
He cooks
In your kitchen, on your plates, at your pace. Courses come out when you want them.
04
He leaves
Kitchen cleaner than he found it. You're still at the table.
What he does
Two people on a balcony, or two hundred at a venue.

Weekly rate — to confirmChef Moisés Carvajal
He does this so well he opened a restaurant on the back of it.
Chef Life began as a private chef service — Moisés driving to villas and condos across Aruba, cooking dinner for six in a kitchen he'd never seen before. That went well enough that he opened a restaurant on the Palm Beach strip.
He still cooks privately. It's where the whole thing started, and it's still the part he likes most.
Read his storyThe setting
A restaurant table, but it's your table.
No reservation at seven. No dressing up. No driving home afterwards. The kids can be there. The dog can be there. Dinner runs as long as you want it to.
Dietary requirements are handled properly, not worked around — tell him at the start and it shapes the menu rather than subtracting from it.
The other door
Or come to him.
Chef Life Restaurant sits on the boulevard at Paseo Herencia, opposite the Holiday Inn. An open terrace, no roof, dinner nightly from five until eleven. Same kitchen, same hands.
