Retreat Chef | Chef Gabriel

For those who move through the world with intention.

Lets work

Together

I work alongside retreat leaders, festival directors, and private hosts to handle everything from menu to plate, serving meals that meet the intention of the gathering, whether that's an intimate weekend retreat or a high-volume festival kitchen. Whatever you're offering, the food should be the last thing you're worrying about. That's where I come in.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR RETREAT

1. It starts with a conversation.

Before we talk food, we talk retreat. A call to get to know each other, understand what you're offering, and to ensure that everything I cook is in service of that.

2. Then we create your menu.

Your menu is designed around your retreat and reflective of its goals. I work with local markets and suppliers to make sure what lands on the table is seasonal, fresh and delicious.

3. Every preference is covered.

Whatever dietary needs are in the room - allergies, intolerances, preferences - we'll figure it out early and cook around it. Everyone gets a full plate.

My intention is to take care of everything, so you can stay present and enjoy the retreat you worked hard to create. As your retreat chef I offer a full-service experience, arriving with everything the kitchen needs for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and beverages. I handle the prep, the service, and the clean-up. The only thing left for you to do is enjoy the food.

a retreat chef experience that promises the only thing you need to bring to the table is your appetite

“Having Gabriel in our kitchen has been a true gift. His food is exquisite, not only in flavour and presentation, but in the way it deeply nourishes our guest. He puts so much heart into every meal he creates.
Gabriel carries himself with a calm, professional, and organised presence that brings ease to the entire kitchen. Even in busy moments he remains composed and grounded. We're deeply grateful for his skills, his passion for food and the excellence he brings. "
