Welcome to Santa Barbara Farmhouse Chef’s Table since 2014

Swedish-born Mattias has been a local Santa Barbara chef since 1992 and brings 18 years of professional restaurant kitchen knowledge to your table, plus 10+ years as a private chef.

The only private chef in Santa Barbara with a 3-decade chef pedigree, now offering a full-service table experience.

He sources the finest local produce and ingredients for intimate, high-quality dining, unmatched in flavor and detail.

Please note that Mattias is not a caterer, but an accomplished private chef who comes equipped for a full dining experience that includes a full table set-up.

Mattias will always be your chef; there will never be substitute chefs. Lock in your date before it is gone, as there is limited availability.

Note that even though he has a long client list, Mattias does not offer to reveal the names of past or future clients. Thank you for understanding and respecting the privacy that everyone deserves.
