About
As the Chef and Owner of Bistro Ember in San Francisco, I bring over 15 years of culinary expertise garnered from my experiences in Michelin-starred restaurants and luxury hotels. In addition to leading Bistro Ember, I also offer personalized private chef services tailored to individual preferences and occasions. My culinary journey began with a profound dedication to the art of gastronomy, which led me to pursue formal education in Gastronomy and Culinary Arts at Pamukkale University, followed by the completion of a Master’s degree in Gastronomy at Canakkale University in Turkey. With a solid foundation in both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, I’ve honed my craft to deliver exceptional dining experiences in a variety of settings. In my private chef endeavors, I collaborate closely with clients to curate bespoke menus that reflect their unique tastes, dietary preferences, and culinary aspirations. Whether it’s an intimate dinner party, a celebratory event, or a corporate gathering, I strive to exceed expectations by crafting dishes that not only tantalize the taste buds but also evoke a sense of delight and satisfaction. Drawing inspiration from my extensive culinary background and the diverse flavors of California, I infuse each private dining experience with creativity, innovation, and a deep respect for seasonal ingredients. From sourcing the freshest local produce to executing intricate cooking techniques, I ensure that every dish is a masterpiece worthy of celebration. My dedication to excellence extends beyond the kitchen, as I work tirelessly to create a seamless and memorable dining experience for my clients. Whether it’s orchestrating the perfect menu, coordinating with event planners, or providing impeccable service, I am committed to delivering nothing short of perfection in every aspect of my private chef endeavors. With a passion for culinary exploration and a commitment to culinary excellence, I invite you to embark on a gastronomic journey with me, where every bite tells a story and every meal leaves a lasting impression.

Attentive, responsive, easy to work with. His team were kind, calm and helpful throughout the evening. The food and cocktails were delicious and exactly as discussed. Cleanup at the end of the evening was flawless. We're making Chef Deniz a regular part of our hosting and celebrating in our community.

My group had a wonderful experience with Chef Deniz. He was prompt, gracious and accommodating of the dietary constraints of our group of 11. And dinner was fantastic. So flavorful. We ate very well and enjoyed plenty of leftovers. He managed all the details; setting the table, pouring the wine, serving by the pool one evening, clearing the table and leaving the kitchen spotless. He even took pictures of our group for us. I highly recommend him.
