Chef Yonatan Rotner

Chef Yonatan blew our expectations out of the water. Such a fabulous experience. We organised his private chef service as a surprise for our mum at our house, and it was well worth the experience. He is an absolute professional, so friendly and ready to impart knowledge and information about his cooking. Each and every dish he served up was phenomenal, from the delicious miso butter grilled hokkaido scallops, freshly baked tarte tatin with vanilla bean ice cream, to the stunning king prawn salad and quite possibly the BEST duck we have ever eaten. The duck was no doubt one of the highlights of the night, perfectly cooked, seasoned and so ridiculously juicy and tender! We've never had duck this good! We had two pregnant guests (including myself!) who required the meat to be well cooked throughout, and the duck breast still managed to taste excellent! Cannot compliment and recommend Chef Yona enough. Such a wonderful experience for our party of guests, and we would all consider ourselves well travelled foodies! Don't waste time deliberating, you won't regret booking in this experience for family and loved ones in the comfort of your own home. Thank you so much Yona, our mum was so elated and has been sharing the story of this private chef experience with all her friends, I'm sure you will be hearing from us again soon.

Awesome work by Yonatan. Food was superb, service was great, and no request was too much trouble. Very highly recommended! Will be using you again and recommending to friends. Thanks again!

Yonatan & his team - great food, lovely people, they knew exactly what to do when ... fitting into our event perfectly. Highly Recommend.

Yonatan was an absolute delight! I’m so glad we chose him to cook dinner for our group of 10 for my mother’s 50th. Everything was perfect, the food was of 5 star quality from the appetiser to dessert the food was faultless everyone is still talking about how delicious it was! Yonatan was great very friendly and even joined in on a few jokes, he was extremely efficient everything came out together, arrived on time and cleaned up spotlessly after he had finish. I would absolutely have Yonatan come and cook for us again it was such a wonderful experience thank you so much !!!

Yonatan made everything easy - the meal was delicious and felt like 5 star dining but in our own home!

Yona was sensational and gave us a beautiful menu and experience.

Yonatan was amazing! His food was delicious and he was very friendly! He definitely made my hens night a night to remember with an incredible 3 course dinner!

I highly recommend chef Yona and can't wait to book him again for another long lunch with friends or really any other occasion! He brought exceptional dining right to our home on the Mornington Peninsula. His talent and skill from his time in world-class restaurants was evident from the first time I saw his menu proposal, but it's his down-to-earth style and demeanour that came through in person that really made the day. The food was incredible, especially all the various seafood dishes he planned, prepared and expertly executed. Each course was a hit, perfectly suited for what we and our guests were looking for. Cooking over both an open fire and brick oven, especially in the wind, is no easy feat, but he did it perfectly. He's not just a great chef; he's an all-round pro. He took the time to explain each dish, adding a personal touch that made the meal even more enjoyable. The meal took longer than expected – as we were having such a good time – and he stayed until the end to ensure great client service. He's now my go-to guy for an unforgettable experience :)
