Origins

Born in Spain in 1998.
Trained in kitchens that set the standard.

Alejandro began his career under the discipline of Martin Berasategui (3 Michelin stars), before specialising in Asian and Mexican cuisine in London. Since 2020 he has worked exclusively for UHNW families, private residences and superyachts across the UK, France and Greece.

Now based in London, he designs intimate, bespoke dining experiences — from the daily family dinner to gala receptions for hundreds of guests. Today, Alejandro leads a small trusted team — sous chefs, a dedicated baker, and service staff — so every event runs to the same exacting standard, whatever its scale.
