Renzo Rodriguez

I craft bold, ingredient-driven menus inspired by Peru and my fine-dining journey worldwide.

I’m a professional Peruvian chef with 12 years of experience cooking in restaurants around the world, including 5-star hotels and Michelin-star kitchens. Today I live in Tokyo, where I run a Spanish restaurant and keep exploring new flavors and techniques.

I love sharing my cooking knowledge with others and creating a complete experience through food—warm, refined, and full of personality.

I cook with passion and purpose

Cooking is my passion and my way to express my art—every plate is designed to create an unforgettable experience, not just a meal.

I trained and cooked across diverse kitchens and standards, including Sukha Buda Lounge, Marriott, Park Hyatt, New York Grill, Four Seasons, Sezanne Tokyo, and Atrevío—experiences that shaped my technique, discipline, and hospitality.

I let ingredients lead

My secret in the kitchen is simple: I choose fresh ingredients and let them be the protagonist in my food, building flavors around what’s at its best.

Renzo’s Menus

I offer curated multi-course menus for intimate dinners and group celebrations—rooted in Peruvian flavors and expanded through contemporary, Japanese-fusion, Mediterranean, and halal/kosher-friendly experiences.

Chef Renzo truly made our culinary experience amazing, and this was the best way to finish our trip. On a vacation where we are so many incredible meals, the dinner prepared by Chef Renzo was far and away the best meal we had. Chef Renzo prepared an incredible four course meal that was Japanese/Peruvian fusion, with each course being unique as delicious as the previous. Chef Renzo was attentive, conversing and an overall pleasure to be around. This truly was one of the best meals me and my family have ever had. I highly recommend hiring Chef Renzo if you are in Tokyo.

Chef Renzo was a delight to work with from start to finish. His friendliness is what made us choose him over other chefs. He was punctual and kept us informed with how the dishes were progressing. Because we were in a rented home, we did not see the set up until the day before and I was impressed that Chef Renzo and his colleague we able to bring a 5-Star dinner to life in a rather small kitchen. Our group of 17 is still talking about the dishes! Thank you!
