Saudade Cheffe - Sommelière à domicile A cuisine of emotions, memories, sincerity, and profound humanity

Saudade echoes the Portuguese concept of "saudade," that gentle melancholy and subtle connection between past and present. It's a culinary world that strives to create experiences imbued with soul and memory.

Private chef and independent sommelier, Marine operates in Anglet, in the heart of the Basque Country and at the gateway to the Landes, a land where contrasts become inspiration and where every flavor tells a story.

Saudade was founded to develop an authentic, creative, contemporary cuisine that is at the same time free, instinctive, raw and sensitive.
Through her creations, Marine expresses a personal vision of gastronomy, where each dish becomes a story, an emotion and a memory to share.
Her cuisine is distinguished by its vibrant and intuitive character. She draws inspiration from her background, her encounters, and her deep attachment to local, seasonal produce from sustainable agriculture. Her approach prioritizes sincerity, precision, and the appreciation of artisanal work.

Saudade offers tailor-made services, adapted to each context:

• lunches with friends,
• gourmet dinners for two,
• intimate and convivial brunches,
• wine tasting evenings,
• Snacks to satisfy the expectations of both adults and children.
• family meals, to celebrate a birthday,
• private professional events.

Saudade also offers food and wine pairings, tasting evenings during which Marine offers unique moments, drawing on her experience as a sommelier acquired in starred establishments.
His attachment to committed, authentic, unpretentious wines echoes his self-taught and deeply sincere cuisine.

The Saudade experience is no longer simply about eating or drinking; it is above all an intimate encounter, a suspended moment where one can feel nature, touch the selflessness of the producers and winemakers, feel the history of the terroir and above all share a fragment of life, emotion and sharing.
