It was a pleasurable way to spend an evening and a cozy atmosphere. We experienced some delicious meals from across regions in South America and learn some cultural background. Chef Gustavo also demonstrated the various meals such that we can try them at home.

Amazing experience with Chef Gustavo! Not only was the food delicious, but we left having learned about the recipes’ cultural influences and tips and tricks in the kitchen.

My boyfriend and I had THE most incredible time with chef Gustavo! Such a thoughtful, fun and delicious experience. Chef Gustavo took the time to explain each dish and we learned so much (did I mention the food was incredible?). We will definitely be back for more. Highly recommended!
