I create modern Mediterranean dining with Japanese-inspired precision—restaurant-quality, personal, and unforgettable in your home or event space.

Oren Morad

I turn your table into a private, restaurant-quality experience.

With over 20 years of culinary experience in leading restaurants across Europe, I bring creativity, technique, and passion to every meal I prepare. My cuisine is Modern Mediterranean, influenced by Japanese techniques and flavours that highlight balance, precision, and respect for ingredients.

I believe great food begins with exceptional sourcing—fresh, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients that tell a story through taste and colour. As a private chef, I design menus tailored to your vision for intimate dinners, celebrations, or corporate gatherings, with refined flavours and memorable presentation.

Cooking is passion, desire, and a way of life—the joy of feeding people.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook with passion and purpose

For me, cooking is passion, desire, and a way of life. I bring the joy of feeding people into every course, creating food that feels personal, generous, and memorable.

I’m classically trained and globally refined

I learned to cook at Le Cordon Bleu Paris, and I trained under Michelin-star chefs in Paris, Japan, Italy, and Denmark. That path shaped my technique, my discipline, and my love for bold flavours balanced with precision.

I keep it simple—because ingredients lead

My kitchen secret is to use the best-quality ingredients and keep it simple. I focus on clarity, harmony, and letting exceptional products speak for themselves.

Oren’s Menus

I offer curated menu experiences inspired by Modern Mediterranean cuisine, Italian comfort, and Japanese technique. I tailor each menu to your occasion, with thoughtful pacing, refined presentation, and flavours that stay with you.

Stories and testimonials

Chef Oren’s menu and food was incredibly delicious and well presented. He was engaging yet left us to enjoy the fabulously prepared dinner! Being of Italian decent and making his Nona’s focaccia added a special touch.

Chef Oren is amazing! My guests and I loved our dinner and I would highly recommend him to anyone! Great job!

Natasha Ermer

Chef Oren Morad was so professional, informative, interesting, clean, punctual and entertaining. His food was absolutely delicious! The whole experience really made for such an unforgettable evening! He and his sous-chef arrived early, they were very friendly, they provided us with lots of interesting information and put us all in a food coma! It was a birthday dinner to never forget! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to host a unique in-home dining experience!

Holly Magnusson

My wife and I usually celebrate our birthday going out for dinner every year, but this time we wanted to do something different and decided to try a private chef experience through Take a Chef. The entire process was very easy — from sending a request to reviewing menus and following up with the chef. We have specific dietary restrictions (we are vegetarian with no eggs, no meat, and no fish), and this was handled exceptionally well. Chef Oran was absolutely fantastic — punctual, professional, and very attentive to our preferences. The food was incredible from start to finish, full of flavor, beautifully presented, and never felt limited despite our restrictions. This experience felt on par with, or even better than, some of the restaurants we regularly visit, while being far more personal and memorable. It truly made our celebration special. Highly recommend both Take a Chef and Chef Oran!

Romit Barua

I had Oren come in to celebrate my fiancé’s 30th birthday and I could not have been more impressed. He really puts time effort and thought into the food and it shows. 10/10 would hire again and I’ve recommended to many people

Noah Caleanu

Chef Oren was a delight! His food and flavours were absolutely amazing! The beets and chicken that he cooked in his wood oven had incredible flavour. We enjoyed the buffalo crème fresh with his smoked salmon and the potato mash with the steak was wonderful! Thank you Chef Oren!
