Meet the Chef

Arzu Gasimova is the chef and founder of Cook Me Eat Me - an intimate dining room where passion is plated and every detail whispers something personal.

Her story? A masterclass in reinvention.

“At 40, I didn’t have a midlife crisis. I had a midlife awakening.”

Born in the former Soviet Union, Arzu grew up with a strong classical background in piano and ballet before building an international career in marketing.

In 2016, she left her corporate career to pursue something completely different: cooking. She trained at the Culinary Arts Academy, followed by studies in Italy and France, specializing in Italian cuisine and pastry.

Today, Arzu creates intimate, tailor-made dining experiences that bring together food, wine, music, and atmosphere in a private setting.

Each evening, Chef Arzu and her talented team craft a 12-course tasting experience just for you, using the freshest local ingredients and your own flavor preferences as inspiration.


It’s not just dinner. It’s a slow, soulful evening, full of surprises, connection, and beauty.

20 seats only. By reservation.
