Cooking in Burlington homes

Burlington dinner parties are often a mix of old friends and neighbours, with a slower evening pace. Plated Fine Dining keeps the night flowing: each course comes out on time while you stay at the table with your guests.

Summer bookings often move outside. Courses are plated in the kitchen and served on the patio, so the evening keeps its restaurant feel without anyone running back and forth. In winter, a warm Jamaican-rooted menu or a Southern soul food spread suits the season.

Wine pairing recommendations are available for every course. They draw on Chef Ricky's two years at a Yorkville wine bar, and you can pick up the bottles yourself or ask for suggestions at different price points.

Neighbourhoods we cook in: Aldershot · Millcroft · Roseland · Tyandaga · Headon Forest · Downtown Burlington

“I booked Chef Ricky for my birthday party, and I couldn't be happier! The food was amazing, and he was so friendly and professional. My favorite was the Miso Chicken. It was my first time trying it, and WOW, it was delicious! I truly enjoyed the entire experience and would definitely recommend Chef Ricky to anyone looking for a great private chef. I'll absolutely be booking him again!”

“Chef Ricardo was lovely to communicate and plan with. He was so patient and accommodating to what I needed for the night's meal. We had some dishes from his jamaican menu and they looked and tasted great and his wine pairing was perfect too! He was great company on the night, great to have conversation with and also gave us space to enjoy conversation amongst ourselves.”
