Private Chef in Mallorca

French cuisine in your villa, from Palma to the Tramuntana

I'm Adam Brunet, a French private chef with around 20 years of experience. For your stay in Mallorca, I shop at the island's markets, cook in your villa and serve every meal at your table, then leave the kitchen spotless.

Hire a private chef in Mallorca for your villa stay

Mallorca has it all: hidden coves, stone villages in the Serra de Tramuntana, fincas among the almond trees and villas looking out over the Bay of Palma. What a holiday there rarely gives you is an evening when nobody has to cook, drive or book a table.

As your personal chef in Mallorca, I take care of the whole food side of your stay: menus agreed before you arrive, shopping at the markets, cooking, table service and clean-up. You come back from the beach and dinner is ready on the terrace.

At a glance: from €400 per day for 1 to 10 guests, groceries at actual cost, 4 days minimum. All the details, with a weekly example, are in the prices section below.

Why hire a private chef in Mallorca?

What usually gets in the way of a relaxed villa holiday

01

Winding roads after dark

Many villas sit up in the hills or at the end of narrow coastal roads. After a day at the beach, nobody wants to drive to dinner and back on the Tramuntana bends.

02

Tables booked in summer

In July and August, the good tables in Palma, Deià, Sóller or Pollença fill up well ahead. With a chef at the villa, there are no reservations to chase.

03

Every age at one table

Grandparents, teenagers, a toddler, a guest who avoids gluten: one restaurant menu rarely suits everyone. At the villa, I plan around each of them.

04

Someone always ends up cooking

In a self-catered villa, one person usually takes on the shopping, the cooking and the washing up. After a day at Es Trenc or Formentor, I take care of all of it, and that person is on holiday too.

Your typical day in Mallorca with a chef

Imagine: you enjoy your days without thinking about meals. In the evening, you return to the villa and everything is ready. Here's what a day with a private chef in Mallorca looks like:

Where I cook in Mallorca

From Palma to the north coast, I travel to your villa anywhere on the island

Palma and the south-west

Looking for a private chef in Palma? I cook in villas and townhouses in and around the capital, from the hills of Son Vida to the coast of Calvià and Andratx, with the airport close by.

Palma Son Vida Portals Nous Calvià Santa Ponsa Port d'Andratx

Serra de Tramuntana

Stone villages, terraced olive groves and villas high above the sea. The produce here is exceptional, from Sóller oranges to mountain olive oil.

Deià Sóller Valldemossa Fornalutx Banyalbufar

The north: Pollença and Alcúdia

Long sandy bays, the Formentor peninsula and family villas a few minutes from the beach. Pollença's Sunday market is on my route.

Pollença Port de Pollença Alcúdia Can Picafort

The east and south-east

Fincas among the almond trees around Artà, quiet coves near Santanyí and the small harbours of the south-east coast.

Artà Capdepera Santanyí Cala d'Or Ses Salines

Mallorcan markets and produce on your table

My cooking is French; my shopping list is Mallorcan

Mercat de l'Olivar

Palma

Palma's main covered market, with its fish and seafood counters, butchers and fruit stalls. My first stop for villas around the capital.

Sineu

Wednesday

One of the oldest weekly markets on the island, in the centre of Mallorca, with farmers selling their own produce.

Pollença

Sunday

The Sunday market fills the main square: vegetables, cheese, olives and charcuterie for villas in the north.

Sóller

Saturday

A Saturday morning in the valley of oranges, a short drive from Port de Sóller, where the red prawns are landed.

Island produce I love to cook

Groups, celebrations and corporate retreats

Up to 20 guests, with a server from 16 guests

Large families and friends

Reunions, milestone birthdays, two families sharing a finca: one shared table, with menus that work for every age.

Corporate retreats

For a team offsite in a Mallorca villa or finca, meals follow your agenda: early breakfast before the sessions, working lunches, a relaxed dinner to close the day.

A special dinner during your stay

A birthday or an anniversary within your stay, with a longer tasting menu served at the table.

From 11 to 15 guests, the daily rate goes up by €100. From 16 to 20 guests, I recommend adding a server at €220 per day so that the service stays smooth. Beyond 20 guests, I will put together a quote for the team you need.

Why choose a French chef in Mallorca?

  • French authenticity

    Around 20 years of French cooking, built on Mallorcan produce rather than imported ingredients.

  • Local market knowledge

    I shop at the Mercat de l'Olivar, at the Sineu, Pollença and Sóller markets and directly from island producers.

  • Family specialist

    Menus for children, flexible timings, allergies taken into account: everything is planned around your group.

  • Complete discretion

    I adapt to your rhythm, present when you need me, invisible the rest of the time.

Adam Brunet, private chef

My culinary signature

"Traditional French cuisine reimagined with Mallorca's treasures: Sóller red prawns, mountain milk-fed lamb, Tramuntana olive oil, almonds and lemons from the island. I blend French flavours with the Mediterranean soul of the island, with my personal touch. Authentic flavours, without artifice, that showcase the true taste of the produce."

Private chef in Mallorca: frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before booking

How much does a private chef in Mallorca cost?

My daily rates are €400 for one meal a day (Essential), €450 for two meals (Prestige) and €600 for breakfast, lunch, dinner and an afternoon snack (Exclusive), for 1 to 10 guests. Groceries are charged at actual cost on receipts, and my travel and accommodation are added to the quote. The minimum stay is 4 days.

How many guests can you cook for?

The package rates cover 1 to 10 guests. From 11 to 15 guests, add €100 per day. From 16 to 20 guests, I recommend a server at €220 per day. For more than 20 guests, contact me for a quote.

Do you work as a private chef in Palma?

Yes. I cook in villas in and around Palma, including Son Vida, Calvià and Andratx, and across the whole island: the Serra de Tramuntana (Deià, Sóller, Valldemossa), the north (Pollença, Alcúdia) and the east and south-east (Artà, Santanyí).

How does grocery shopping work?

I do all the shopping myself, at markets such as the Mercat de l'Olivar in Palma, Sineu on Wednesdays, Pollença on Sundays and Sóller on Saturdays, and from local producers. Groceries are paid at actual cost on receipts. As a rough guide, allow €25 to €50 per person per day depending on the menus.

What is the minimum stay, and when should I book?

I work on stays of 4 days or more. For July and August, book 2 to 3 months ahead; outside high season, 3 to 4 weeks is usually enough. Send me your dates as soon as you have them.

Can you adapt the menus for children, allergies and special diets?

Yes. We go through tastes, allergies and diets before your arrival (gluten-free, vegetarian, no pork and so on), and children get dishes they actually enjoy, made from the same fresh produce.
