The Chef

Rubén Guerrero Simón

Executive Chef & Culinary Director · 15+ Years International Experience

Raised in Spain with an early reverence for his grandmother's traditional hearth cooking and Valencian rice dishes, Chef Rubén built his culinary career through more than fifteen years of demanding restaurant leadership across Spain, London, and the United Arab Emirates.

His professional journey includes leading prestigious culinary operations in Dubai, where under his direction, 99 Sushi Bar achieved its Michelin Star recognition. His ingredient-driven philosophy and commitment to local excellence have earned profile features in the Michelin Guide and Experience Abu Dhabi.

Today, Chef Rubén brings that same uncompromising standard—precision temperature control, deeply reduced broths, and hand-selected Spanish saffron—into private residences, creating an intimate culinary atmosphere tailored to the host and their guests.

The Craft & The Dish

Patience, fire, and the right grain.

In authentic Spanish rice gastronomy, every detail matters: the shallow geometry of the steel pan, the intensity of the flame, and the single layer of rice that allows liquid to evaporate at the exact rate required for caramelization.

The Sacred Crust

El Socarrat

The mark of an exceptional paella is the caramelized bottom layer—the *socarrat*. When the liquid has fully reduced, the chef listens intently to the rhythm of the crackle as the rice toasts against the hot steel, creating a crisp, umami-dense crust that is served table-side with brass spoons.

D.O. Saffron & Broths

Hand-harvested Spanish saffron toasted live, infused into deeply concentrated, slow-simmered stocks.

Single-Layer Thinness

Cooked in large, wide paelleras so the rice stays thinly spread, allowing each grain to absorb maximum flavor.

✦ Bespoke Menu Planning: Rather than a rigid restaurant catalog, the culinary direction is tailored personally with each host. Whether your preference is Mediterranean seafood, mountain meats, or seasonal vegetables, Chef Rubén designs the menu specifically for your gathering.
