Cooking for the family table, the training ground and the open sea.
I’m Guilherme “Gee” Tavares, a private and performance chef. Dinners at home. Weekly performance meals. Yachts. Events, wherever the job is.
Trained in Estoril, near Lisbon, cooking since I was a boy
My family had a restaurant, so after school I was always in its kitchen, learning discipline from the ground up. I trained as a chef in Portugal.
In 17 years as a professional chef, my career has taken me from high-end yacht kitchens to cooking for Premier League footballers. Every service gets the same consistency, discretion and attention to detail.
Most people here call me Gee. Guilherme is a mouthful.
Eating is a way of pleasure, and people should enjoy every moment.
I speak Portuguese, English, Spanish, Italian and French.
