About Chef Matija

Chef Matija's passion for food began 11 years ago in an Oxford University dorm, where a French roommate's cooking sparked a lifelong love of flavor and technique. Self-taught at first, Matija honed his craft working through some of the country's most respected kitchens — from David's in Portland, Maine to Cotogna & Quince and Chotto Matte in San Francisco. With a focus on elevating every dish, Matija brings fine dining precision to private settings. In 2024 alone, he cooked for more than 1,500 guests as a private chef, bringing the same passion, care, and enthusiasm to every plate.
