About Joao Renato Candido

My cuisine has a strong Mediterranean foundation, very much linked to produce, seasonality and clear flavors, but it is also a reflection of my journey and the places where I have worked. Over the years I have incorporated Asian and Latin influences, which appear mainly in seasonings, acidity, spice and sauces.

I enjoy contemporary, flavorful and carefully prepared cuisine, but without overcomplicating things just for the sake of it. For me, technique should be at the service of the product and, above all, of the pleasure of eating.

As a private chef, I especially enjoy the possibility of adapting my cuisine to the people I am cooking for - understanding their tastes, habits and needs and, from there, creating something personalized, whether a simple everyday meal or a more special experience.
