Chef Arturo Navarrete – Michelin-Trained & Globally Inspired

My name is Chef Arturo Navarrete, and I create unforgettable dining experiences in the most intimate setting possible—your home. As a Michelin-trained private chef based in Austin, I bring the elegance, precision, and creativity of fine-dining restaurants into your own kitchen.

My culinary journey began in Vancouver, where I discovered a deep love for cooking that led me to pursue the prestigious Le Grand Diplôme at Le Cordon Bleu Paris—earning expert training in both cuisine and pâtisserie.

Driven by my passion for excellence, I’ve trained and worked in some of the most celebrated kitchens in the U.S. and beyond, including:

    •    Harbor House Inn – 2 Michelin Stars ,under the direction of Chef Matthew Kammerer

    •    Commis – 1 Michelin Star

    •    Porto – 1 Michelin Star

    •    Angler – Michelin Guide-listed

I was also fortunate to work under Chef Viet Pham—an Iron Chef winner and James Beard-nominated chef—who helped me refine my understanding of bold flavors, playful techniques, and relentless creativity.

Each experience helped shape not only my skills but also my philosophy: food should be meaningful, personal, and unforgettable.

Now rooted in Austin, I focus on in-home private dining experiences, curating every detail—from personalized menu creation and grocery shopping to plating, serving, and spotless cleanup. Whether it’s a romantic dinner for two, an elegant celebration, or a multi-course chef’s tasting, your event will be seamless, elevated, and tailored completely to you.

Let me take care of everything, so you can simply enjoy the moment.
