Meet the chef

Hi, I’m Matej, chef and founder of Bistronomy.

Since 2019 I’ve been bringing the quality and attention of fine dining into private homes, villas and venues across Barcelona and Catalonia.

My cooking is rooted in Mediterranean and Spanish gastronomy, shaped by more than 20 years in professional kitchens, including Michelin-starred restaurants. Every menu is created around the occasion, the setting and the people at the table.

In 2025 the Luxury Lifestyle Awards named Bistronomy Best Luxury Private Chef Service in Spain, and in 2026 Best Luxury Private Chef & Catering Service in Barcelona.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matej catered our wedding dinner and a smaller private dinner after, and both nights were absolutely incredible. The food is amazing, the service and presentation is perfect, and Matej himself is great and such a joy to work with. The guests were raving about the food and that wouldn’t have been possible with anyone else!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Matej and his team to cater our welcome dinner for our wedding weekend at a villa in Spain. Not only was his food exceptional (our guests even said it was the best food they've had in Spain!), the service was also equally amazing. Matej took care of everything including printing menus, table set up and decor which was a huge help as it was one less thing to worry about for our wedding. Some of our guests were vegan and vegetarian and they also said it was the best vegan food they've had in Spain. Would highly recommend him and the Bistronomy team for any events!!

From the table decor, the service and the food, it was absolutely a 5* experience and cannot recommend this experience enough! Thank you so much Bistronomy and I can't wait till next time!

The apps were amazing and plentiful, and I appreciate the attention they gave to my young daughter who loved the pasta.  They went above and beyond to address our every need. Muchas muchas gracias!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’re so happy we went with Matej and the Bistronomy team for our wedding day! We had a small, intimate wedding of 30 people travelling abroad from Canada. Matej was so easy to work with, had amazing ideas for dinner service and offered the best wedding menu by far with creative twists on classic Spanish food.

On the day, the food and presentation, service, staff and design elements exceeded all our expectations. Bistronomy was a huge part of what made our wedding day incredible. We, and many of our guests, said it was the best food and service they’ve ever had! We felt taken care of and had a 5-star experience.

The Bistronomy team are true professionals - they’re thoughtful, kind, organized and passionate about what they do. They’d be the perfect caterer for any wedding or special event. Thank you for everything!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic private chef experience at our house with Matej from Bistronomy. The evening started very relaxed—we watched a game together, and Matej blended in seamlessly, never rushing the flow of the night. Afterwards, he treated us to an exceptional dinner that was both refined and comforting. Every dish was beautifully executed, full of flavor, and thoughtfully presented. One of our guests is a partner of a Michelin restaurant, which says a lot about our expectations—and Matej exceeded them. The entire experience felt professional yet personal, making it a truly memorable evening. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a high-end but warm and enjoyable private dining experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you’re on the fence about choosing this business, there’s no need to debate or overthink it. The coordination from start to finish was nothing short of extraordinary. Carolina, the Director of Operations, and Matej, the Private Chef, are truly wonderful people to work with, and their staff were incredibly kind. Together, they made our vow renewal on December 12, 2025 an experience we will never forget.

We traveled from the U.S. to experience the best catering in Spain, and they exceeded every expectation. Carolina’s warm, bubbly personality and excellent communication skills played a huge role in our decision to choose this team. During the event, Chef Matej, Carolina, and their entire staff were attentive, friendly, proactive, and inclusive in the service they provided.

The food presentation, timing and tastefulness of the food was great! If we could give Bistronomy Barcelona a six-star review, we absolutely would.
