Fernanda Fernandes Personal Chef
From R$ 115.50
A personal chef creates an intimate anniversary dinner at your home in BH — your love story told through food, in the privacy and comfort that no restaurant can match.
A restaurant anniversary dinner means neighboring tables, rushed courses, and waiters interrupting at the wrong moment. A personal chef brings that same quality of food — or better — to your home in Savassi, Lourdes, or Belvedere, where the only people at your table are the ones who matter. No reservations. No noise. No one refilling your water when you're in the middle of something important.
A milestone anniversary — bodas de prata, bodas de ouro, or simply a year worth celebrating — deserves a menu that means something. A personal chef can recreate dishes from your wedding reception, cook the meal from your first date, or craft a tasting menu around the flavors that have defined your life together. In Belo Horizonte, where food is woven into every family story, this kind of personalization is the most meaningful gift.
Surprising a spouse with a personal chef anniversary dinner is one of the most thoughtful gestures in BH's culture of hospitality. While they think you're heading to a regular restaurant, you've orchestrated a professionally set table, candles lit, a chef working quietly in the kitchen, and their favorite dishes ready to emerge course by course. The look on their face: priceless.
Tell us how long you've been together, your food preferences as a couple, any dishes with special meaning, and whether this is for just the two of you or a larger family bodas celebration. We find the right chef for your evening.
Your chef creates a tasting menu or multi-course dinner built around your history as a couple — incorporating meaningful dishes, the flavors you both love, and a special dessert moment that marks the milestone.
On the evening of your anniversary, the chef arrives discreetly, sets up, and begins working. You get ready, light the candles, and welcome the evening. Courses emerge at the perfect pace, with professional presentation and unhurried timing.
When the last course is served and the final glass poured, the chef cleans and leaves your home exactly as they found it. You stay at the table — or move to the sofa — with nowhere to be and nothing to clean. Just each other and the evening.
In Belo Horizonte, anniversaries — especially the milestone bodas — are treated with the full weight of mineiro family tradition. Bodas de prata at 25 years, bodas de ouro at 50 years: these are community celebrations, gathering children, grandchildren, and friends who have witnessed the couple's journey. The feast must be worthy of the occasion. In a city where food is treated as an act of love, the table at a bodas celebration carries profound symbolic meaning.
For couples celebrating just the two of them, BH offers the perfect setting for an intimate anniversary dinner: a home in Funcionários with a view of the city lights, a garden in Belvedere set for two, or a quietly elegant apartment in Mangabeiras where the city hum is distant and the evening belongs entirely to them. A personal chef turns any of these spaces into a private restaurant for the night.
BH chefs have access to exceptional local ingredients that make anniversary menus genuinely special: aged queijo Canastra that rivals European cave-aged cheese, single-estate Sul de Minas coffee for the espresso course, wild-harvested mel de abelha nativa for dessert pairings, and artisan espumante from the emerging Serra Gaúcha. These are not generic restaurant ingredients — they are the flavors of a specific place and relationship.
Local Tip
Ask your chef to incorporate the flavors from your wedding day — even if just as an element in one course. Couples who have tasted their anniversary menu alongside their original wedding menu describe the experience as one of the most emotionally powerful meals of their lives.
A personal chef anniversary dinner in BH — even the most elegant tasting menu — is typically comparable in price to a special-occasion restaurant outing for two, and delivers a far more personal, private, and memorable experience.
R$300–R$800 per couple (intimate dinner for 2); R$80–R$200 per person (family bodas celebration)
Years together deserve an evening that feels as meaningful as those years were. Book your personal chef and give your anniversary the celebration it has earned.
