I create memorable dining experiences through creativity, precision, and genuine hospitality.

Chef Asfran

I craft story-driven dining experiences inspired by culture, technique, and emotion.

I’m a professional chef with over 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry, with a background in Michelin-starred restaurants and five-star hotels across Madrid, New York City, Lima, Caracas, and Houston.

I refine every menu with a balance of traditional foundations and contemporary creativity, always aiming for excellence in flavor, presentation, and technique—whether I’m designing a tasting menu or cooking an intimate private dinner.

Let’s plan your dinner

My secret is simple: I always taste and adjust—true flavor comes from intuition, balance, and attention to detail.

I focus on flavor, storytelling, and hospitality in every experience I create.

I cook to bring joy

Cooking is my way to bring joy to others—there’s nothing quite like seeing someone enjoy a meal I’ve prepared with care, passion, and love.

I learned through real kitchens

I studied at culinary school, but I truly learned to cook in the kitchens where I worked alongside talented chefs who challenged me, taught me, and inspired me.

I trust intuition and balance

In my kitchen I always taste and adjust, because I believe true flavor comes from intuition, balance, and attention to detail.

Chef Asfran’s Menus

I offer curated multi-course menus for private dinners and special occasions, with dishes designed to feel both refined and personal—always focused on bold flavor, clean technique, and a memorable flow from the first bite to dessert.
