The Manifesto

Conventional catering is an intrusion.
We are an invisible presence.

No more noisy trolleys, untrained staff overflowing your space, or standardised menus that ignore the singularity of your cellar and your guests.

Maîtrise redefines excellence through self-effacement. We do not merely bring the cuisine of a starred kitchen into your home; we bring its rigour, its silence and its absolute discretion.

A glimpse of the gesture. No words.

A fragment. Unfiltered. Unscripted.

The Founding Duo

Ángel & Júlia. The gesture and the human thread.

Geneva, winter 2022. Júlia was orchestrating. Ángel was cooking. From that meeting Maîtrise was born — the idea that a private dinner is not a service you order, but a moment composed by four hands.

Ángel Gallardo

Executive Chef · Co-founder

Born in Barcelona, trained in the kitchens of high gastronomy. His gesture is precise, silent, without flourish. He signs every Maîtrise menu.

Júlia Pérez Gistau

Experience Direction · Co-founder

Trained at the three-Michelin-star houses El Racó de Can Fabes and ABaC (Barcelona). Co-founder of two Peruvian gastronomic restaurants, event projects (Primavera Sound, food trucks) and institutional partnerships with the Consulate of Peru. She is the human thread that assists the mastery of every service.

The Culinary Gesture

Four steps toward the exceptional

01

The Vision

A preliminary conversation to grasp the soul of your reception, your most intimate tastes and the spirit of the place.

02

The Score

A bespoke menu composed exclusively from our artisans of the Lake Geneva terroir.

03

The Silent Set-Up

A millimetric mise en place. The brigade operates with absolute discretion, like a benevolent shadow.

04

The Memory

Your space restored to its original purity. Only the imprint of a suspended moment remains.

A few moments. Unfiltered.

Three questions, three clear answers

What you want to know now.

What is the entry ticket?

At home, from CHF 350 per guest (menu, brigade, service included). Events and corporate on quotation by format.

Which area do you cover?

Geneva, Vaud, Valais as standard. Zürich, Zug and beyond Switzerland on request, with no hidden surcharges.

How quickly can you intervene?

The Chef responds personally within 4 hours. Confirmed date usually within 48h. Our agenda is deliberately limited.

Personally led by Chef Ángel

3 dates still open this month

Every experience,
a single signature.

We do not delegate, we do not franchise, we do not scale. Chef Ángel conceives, cooks and oversees every experience personally. That is why we welcome a limited number of families each year — before receiving you, we talk.
