Michelin-Trained Private Chef in Austin
Creating intimate, highly personalized dining experiences. Now booking private dinners by referral only.
Chef Arturo Navarrete — Michelin-Trained & Globally Inspired
I’m Chef Arturo Navarrete, a Michelin-trained private chef based in Austin. I create custom, in-home dining experiences that blend fine-dining technique with bold, seasonal flavors — bringing a restaurant-level experience into the comfort of your home.
My culinary journey began in Vancouver and led me to Le Cordon Bleu in Mexico City, where I earned the Le Grand Diplôme with training in both cuisine and pâtisserie. I later completed stages in some of the world’s most respected kitchens, including:
• Harbor House Inn (2 Michelin Stars)
• Commis (1 Michelin Star)
• Porto (1 Michelin Star)
• Angler (Michelin Guide-listed)
I’ve also trained under Chef Viet Pham, an Iron Chef winner and James Beard nominee, whose mentorship helped shape my approach to flavor, precision, and creativity.
Our Approach
We intentionally take on a limited number of private dining experiences to maintain the level of quality, service, and personalization we are known for.
Private dinners are currently available by referral only.
For larger gatherings and more casual events, we offer grazing tables and charcuterie experiences available to all clients.
What’s Next
We are currently developing our first restaurant concept, KoriKori.
KoriKori Chicken is where Mexico City street food meets Japanese precision.
Built on technique and bold flavor, everything is cooked in rich beef tallow for unmatched crunch, depth, and richness in every bite.
It’s indulgent, intentional, and designed to leave a lasting impression. The kind of food you think about long after the last bite.
“I will transform your home kitchen into a restaurant. I promise it will be an unforgettable experience ”
Let me create the perfect menu for you.
