Le Cordon Bleu
in your villa.
Chef Arthur Benício, Le Cordon Bleu Rio, UFRJ food-culture researcher, alumnus of Signatures (voted best teaching restaurant in Latin America). Personally vetted by our Experience Concierge Jonas. Not a marketplace find.
Three ways the chef shows up.
Same chef. Same standards. Three ways to quote it: one private dinner, a villa-stay add-on, or a full-board week.
One dinner. Done right.
Anniversary, birthday, kickoff dinner. Built around your party.
- From $75/person for the private in-home chef basis
- Menu, sourcing, prep, service, and translation coordinated by BBE
- Brazilian · French · Italian · Peruvian
Cook in your villa.
Your villa, our kitchen. Chef, prep team, server, all groceries.
- Pick your nights, 1 dinner to full stay
- Dinners use the $75/person basis before extras
- Breakfast, open bar, groceries, wine pairings, and extra staff are quoted only after request
The full week.
Five days of the chef and his team. Breakfast on your schedule, dinner on theirs.
- Picanha-and-beer churrasco one night, full tasting another
- You set meal times day-of, long nights, late breakfasts
- Full-board weeks are quote-only so breakfast, dinner, staff, groceries, and drinks are not guessed
Not a marketplace find.
- Personal friend of Jonas, our Experience Concierge in Rio. We've eaten his food, watched him work a service.
- Le Cordon Bleu Rio de Janeiro, graduated. The diploma is the one in his hand.
- Researcher in food culture, graduated from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ).

The full set of menus Arthur built specifically for BBE groups. Mix, match, and stack across the week to design how you eat.

Why route through us, not direct.
Whoever you book through will find you a chef. The difference is in which chef, and what shows up around them.
English on both ends
Menu, dietary, timing, we translate it all. You're not WhatsApp-ing the chef at 11pm, you're at a rooftop in Ipanema.
You set the clock
Long night out? Push breakfast to noon. You call meal times day-of and we coordinate with Arthur. Nothing rigid.
One person owns it
Your BBE Experience Concierge runs the whole booking. Something moves Day 3, you text one number.
Built around your group
Menu tuned to your party size and how you actually want to eat. Not a pre-set vendor roster.
Sourcing & logistics
Arthur and his kitchen assistant + server arrive prepped. Transport, ingredient sourcing, hand-offs, all included.
Dietary, allergies, kid-friendly
Vegan, gluten-free, halal, picky bachelor, all confirmed and signed off before he buys ingredients.
Vetted in person
Arthur is a personal friend of Jonas, our Rio Experience Concierge. We've eaten his food. You're getting our A-list.
