Hello,I'm Mikail.

Most people call me Micce. I learned my trade in restaurant kitchens, and now I bring that kitchen to your table.

I've spent my career on the line: on steakhouse grills and in busy neighbourhood restaurants, reading tickets at full speed and sending every plate out like it's the only one.

That's where I learned to break down whole cuts by hand, to cook over fire without guessing, and to keep a calm kitchen when the rail is full. I've worked alongside some brilliant brigades and taken something from every one of them.

Chef Micce is that kitchen, brought to you. We plan the menu together. I source the produce, do the butchery and prep myself, then cook and serve in your home or venue, and leave the kitchen clean.

I'm happiest at the grill: good meat, real heat and a few bold flavours. But a tailored menu means your menu, so I'll cook whatever your table loves, from seafood and sharing plates to fully vegetarian spreads.

The work behind the plate

Most of a great dinner happens before anyone sits down.

What you can count on

A menu written for you

No set packages. Your guests, your tastes and any allergies shape every course.

Produce I trust

I buy and prepare everything myself, so I know exactly what goes on each plate.

A clean kitchen

I arrive, cook, serve and clear down. You get to enjoy your own party.

Kitchens that shaped me

Good cooking is a team sport. These are some of the brigades I've worked the line with.
