Private Chef Rene of Copate Che Catering

If you had the chance to eat at the Copate Che Restaurant in Playa Del Carmen you would of found Chef Rene and his wife Karla serving up creative food with their charming personalities. Their love of food and service is contagious and that made eating there an enjoyable experience. Now Chef Rene and Karla are starting a new venture of private chef services in Playa Del Carmen and the Riviera Maya. It is sad to see the restaurant close but everyone can still enjoy the culinary creations and interaction with Chef Rene and Karla, just at your home or where you are staying.

We recommend this private chef service because the food is creative, Chef Rene is well traveled and worked in many fine restaurants, bilingual (English and Spanish spoken), and they both have great personalities that make dinning fun.

In the video below you can see what an experience is like with Copate Che Catering.
