After being brought up and educated in Spain, Dani Bowler has enjoyed the best of two worlds when it comes to life, experience and culinary delights.

Initial interests led him not to the kitchen but to the golf course where he rose through the ranks to become a low handicap player and played for his county, however, the delights of the Mediterranean cuisine took hold and he returned to Manchester from Spain to pursue a career in the Catering Trade.

Working as a front of house manager for chains like Wetherspoons, All Bar One and Revolution he decided to move to London where he got the chance to audition for Masterchef, along with 20,000 other hopefuls.  After numerous interviews and auditions, his infectious love of the trade coupled with his knowledge of two distinct country’s delights saw him make it to the final 70 contestants on the prestigious BBC 1 program.

His dedication, hard work and undoubted talent, combined with his innate love of the craft, took him to the final heats in the program. Taking time off to travel the world and learn the different cultures & cuisines around Asia and Australia. Using the experience he gained on the show, his years of experience and most importantly, his love of the craft, Dani returned to Spain and opened the Vintage Café in the metropolitan resort of Albir, quickly becoming the taste of the town & number one on trip advisor and voted the best restaurant in the area.

It soon became apparent that Danis talents could not be contained to one location. He quickly became the desired chef for many Private yachts anchored in nearby ports along the costa, bringing a sparkle of stardust to an already glamorous location. He also provides a unique private dining experience in the home, villa or corporate events anything from 2 to 100 people he happily approaches every situation with verve and gusto that is as incomparable as his many MasterChef dishes, from Paella, BBQs, canapés to a specially tailored fine dining experience.
