Gustavo Alonso Chef Tavo Cardona

I turn my passion for cooking into memorable experiences at your table.

I’m a professional chef with 14 years of experience. I studied in Colombia at the School of the Andean area and completed multiple courses in cold kitchen, hot kitchen, and pastry. My style blends Peruvian, Colombian, Japanese, and Italian influences, with a special love for seafood and desserts.

I’ve worked in more than seven restaurants, learning from different cuisines and chef teams. I also led the kitchen at The Eye Orlando, where I built a menu of 30+ dishes, and I cooked at Pisco Peruvian Food—always focused on quality, timing, and guest satisfaction.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook with dedication and precision

For me, cooking is love and professionalism. I’m fully dedicated to every service, and I bring my passion for seafood and desserts into menus that feel exciting, balanced, and satisfying.

I bring real restaurant experience to your home

I built my skills in restaurants like Esturión, Chabuca, El Buzo, Ají Ceviche Bar (Bogotá Club House Hotel), Pisco, and The Eye. Each kitchen taught me new techniques, discipline, and how to deliver consistent quality under pressure.

I rely on great products and great timing

My kitchen secret is simple: I choose the best ingredients, I prepare a strong mise en place, and I execute with perfect timing—because love and dedication are part of every plate I serve.
