I create open-fire, coastal-inspired dining that brings people together around honest produce, seafood, and bold flavors.

Alber Lizaso

I cook with fire, seasonality, and the warmth of a long shared table.

My story began in Argentina, in a family where my grandmother brought people together with generous food and even better stories. My mother carried that spirit forward and guided me toward fish and seafood—ingredients I’ve always felt deeply connected to.

After university I traveled across South America, learning from seasonal markets and the honesty of regional cooking. Europe shaped my technique through renowned kitchens and the discipline of fine dining. For the past eight years I’ve called Australia home, and its connection to land and sea—plus the purity of its produce—continues to define how I cook today.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook over fire to create connection

There is something primal about fire—it brings people together. I use live flame and open-fire techniques to build bold flavor, warmth, and a shared rhythm at the table.

I’ve learned through travel and craft

I learned to cook with the freedom of Bourdain and the fire of Malman. That mix of curiosity, instinct, and technique shapes how I balance generosity with precision in every menu I serve.

I embrace imperfection as a signature

I believe there is a lot of beauty in imperfection. I let ingredients speak, I keep things honest, and I focus on the feeling a meal leaves behind—not just how it looks.

Alber Lizaso Menus

My menus are designed to be shared—whether you want an Argentine asado over open flame, a seafood-forward coastal feast, or vibrant street-food flavors. I cook with seasonal produce, premium ingredients, and a relaxed, elevated approach that fits your occasion.

From the very beginning, Chef Alber went above and beyond to make our dinner truly special. He was incredibly flexible, working with us to customise the menu until every detail was perfect. On the night, he surprised us with a few extra dishes that made the whole experience even more memorable. The food was beautifully presented and every course was full of flavour. Alber professionalism, passion, and attention to detail were outstanding. If you’re looking for a unique private dining experience, I couldn’t recommend Alber highly enough. We’ll definitely be booking again!

We had the pleasure of having a Alber for our recent stay in Dunsborough, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portions that left everyone more than satisfied. The menu was thoughtfully designed and very accommodating to our preferences and dietary needs, which made the whole experience feel personalised and stress-free. What really stood out was how much he went above and beyond, not just with the quality of the food, but with his professionalism, attention to detail, and overall service. It truly elevated our entire evening. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable and seamless private dining experience. Thank you!

Amazing experience! We booked a dinner for two with Take a Chef and it felt like a high-end restaurant at home. Chef Alber was fantastic — super friendly, charismatic, and tailored the menu perfectly to our tastes. Every dish was delicious, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Perfect for a special date night or to surprise someone. We’d definitely do it again!

I cook Chef's special, Mediterranean, Seafood/Fish, Local, Fusion and Italian. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavour is.
