Private Chef in Mallorca: Metus Gourmet Delivers Fine Dining at a Holiday Home

A Cook, a Kitchen — and Your Living Room as a Restaurant

In Mallorca, in recent years, more and more private-chef offerings have appeared. One that caught my eye is called Metus Gourmet. Behind the name is Metus Mustafa, a chef with years in larger hotels and restaurants, who now cooks guests directly in their accommodation.

How it works

The idea is simple: you book a menu, pre-agree preferences, allergies, and desired style, and on the arranged evening a trained chef with his own equipment stands in your kitchen. Yes, this also applies to remote fincas — Metus even brings a small fridge, so nothing is left to chance.

Flexibility is typical for such services. Whether a quiet candlelit dinner on the terrace at 20:30 or a Sunday brunch for the whole family at 11:00 — a lot is possible. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free requests are apparently not extra problems, but are integrated into the menus.

What ends up on the plate

From the portfolio: elegant starters with clear flavors, meticulously plated main courses, and small dessert surprises. For lovers of open fire there is a Gourmet Grill offering with high-quality meat and fish, accented by Mallorcan ingredients such as sobrasada or fresh herbs. And yes, paella is prepared live on site — practical for garden parties or relaxed family gatherings.

Wine is recommended and paired on request. If you like, you get complete care: shopping, cooking, service and cleanup. Sounds like comfort — and it is, when you don’t want to visit the market yourself or want to relax during the vacation.

Who it’s for

The concept suits guests who value privacy and seek a personal experience: couples, families, small celebrations, but also yacht crews. Especially those who visit the island often and don’t always want to go out to eat could consider a private chef for a few evenings.

A small, honest tip: a good private chef thrives on conversation. Tell them what you like. The best menus often arise from casual questions and feedback — not from rigid recipes.

Booking & Contact

Metus Gourmet operates from Capdepera and can be reached by phone. Address and contact details are publicly available if you want to submit an inquiry directly.

Is it expensive? Yes, compared to cooking yourself it costs more. But it replaces restaurant visits, saves time, and turns an ordinary evening into something special — without changing clothes or hunting for parking.

If you want to add a personal touch to your next family meal or anniversary, this private chef option is practical. And who knows — perhaps after the first evening you’ll keep a new cherished ritual: a fine menu at home, prepared by someone who appreciates the island and its products.
