It was a lovely experience with chef Anandhu. Every dish was a work of art, well presented, and bursting with flavours that leave you wanting more. The moscato provided by the chef is a sweet addition to the scallop dish. It's a good way to start our private chef experience.

Chef Ronda was absolutely amazing. She catered to every need we had and even went above and beyond for us. She modified her menu for my wife's taste. She was 100% awesome. Full of stories, very personable. She was with us for a long time with no rush. I would recommend her and i hope she starts a restaurant soon

Chef Earn's culinary expertise and sincere dedication made our year-end gathering truly memorable. Every dish was exceptional, and all our guests were thoroughly impressed. I highly recommend his professional services.

Super soirée Super chef

Nous avons passé une excellente soirée avec des plats délicieux

Excelente servicio y profesional

Chef Marcellus provided an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with incredible flavour, showcasing his culinary expertise. His professionalism, attention to detail, and warm demeanour made the evening effortless and truly special. Highly recommended for an unforgettable private dining experience!

À dépassé nos attentes. Formidable expérience

I invited Alessandro to prepare a surprise birthday lunch for my husband while we were in Florence, and the experience exceeded all expectations! Alessandro made the meal truly engaging by involving my husband in a hands-on cooking session. Together, they prepared a delicious rabbit cacciatore using fresh ingredients straight from Alessandro’s garden. The dish turned out absolutely amazing! This was my first time hiring a chef, and thanks to Alessandro and his lovely wife for making this such a memorable experience, I would absolutely do it again!

Chef Andressa was an absolute pleasure to work with. She designed a wonderful menu for my husband’s birthday and executed it perfectly. It was such a memorable night, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a special meal!!

Our Chef - Hatim did and excellent job in making a wonderful multi-course meal for 4 of us and creating a wonderful evening. The presentations were beautifully done and each course was delicious! An added bonus was that Hatim brought his lovely wife, Amira, an accomplished architect to help him with the preparations. We enjoyed their company so much that we asked Hatim and Amira to join us and share their story which began in Spain. Most enjoyable was Hatim's famous cheesecake, it was the best we ever had! I would highly recommend choosing Hatim as Chef at your next event, you will be guaranteed an amazing meal and an added bonus if Amira comes too!

Merci ce fut un agréable moment pour l’anniversaire de mon compagnon ! Je recommande Laurent, très professionnel et passionné !

Chef Morad was amazing, punctual and very attentive to our needs. The food was amazing, well spiced like we asked, and he was very communicative and responsive to every needs and timing. I would definitely recommend him and hire him again.

Thiago was absolutely incredible. The entire experience was so much better than what we expected. Couldn’t be happier. We had so much food we definitely were not left hungry. Thiago was polite and left the kitchen sparkling clean. Would highly recommend and book Thiago again.

Chef Sara was an absolutely amazing Chef. Every dish was amazing and brought joy to our night. The food was fresh, the dishes were amazing and the memories created will last a lifetime. Chef Sara was very communicative and responsive when needing to change the menu in order for other dietary presences and still brought unique flavors. 10/10.

Elena was excellent! We had her for a small wedding dinner, and she made the night special. Highly recommend!

Fue todo una experiencia, nos hizo un menú vegano increíble, fue una noche muy especial y el nos dio el espacio y el toque para terminar de hacerla perfecta! Estoy segura de que nos volveremos a ver!

Chef Kyla was wonderful. She was so easy to work with and came up with the perfect menu. And then she was a delight to have at our home. All the food was plated and piping hot as it was served. And everyone was raving about each dish. Will be using her again for our next dinner party!!

Exceptional ! Chef went above and beyond, very professional and his dishes were amazing. Highly recommend and will be using again if in the area.

Rien à dire c'était Parfait, Le Chef est discret et à l'écoute de vos souhaits ! La cuisine est enrichie par le parcours du Chef. Les plats étaient excellents. Bravo
