She was great and very accommodating. She made the food with our Airbnb utensils and all! She cleaned up and left it better than before she was there. We couldn’t have dreamt up a better experience! I recommend to anyone!

Chef Aaron was outstanding! The food was delicious. He was amazing to work with and worked around certain food request. The kitchen was spotless when they left. We all could not stop raving about our experience. 10/10 experience and would recommend to anyone!

Punctual, friendly, attentive. Thanks Ashley!

Chef Dylan and Chef Jaden were super friendly and engaging throughout the entire experience. From arrival to the meal to cleanup, they exceeded expectations in every area. More than anything though, they served us incredible and delicious and beautiful food for every course. Our entire dinner party loved it.

Misael Canché Was our chef and he prepared one of the best meals we have ever had in our lives we have had many meals all over the world but none were as spectacular as this one! He explained every ingredient and the food was so fresh with exquisite presentation. Misael was kind hard working and clearly a very talented chef. Thank you for making our New Years Wve a night to remember forever!! I will definitely hire him again!!

Where do I even begin? Chef Charles turned our family reunion in Cape Town into an unforgettable culinary journey. Each of his exquisite four-course dishes was a masterpiece, surpassing the last with creativity and flavor. But it wasn’t just the food—it was his warmth and energy that made every meal feel like a celebration. He brought us together in a way that went beyond the table. We’re already planning to book him again. If you’re in Cape Town and want exceptional cuisine and service, Chef Charles is the one!

El chef Oscar nos brindó un servicio profesional y memorable. La comida superó nuestras expectativas dada las limitaciones en el equipo y espacio que nuestra cocina contaba. Oscar fue muy atento y no puso ningún "pero" a todas las solicitudes que le realizamos sobre el menú para complacer el paladar de 3 generaciones: abuela, madre e hija. Nos sentimos muy apapachadas por los platillos del chef y logramos gozar de un momento relajante y de muchas risas en el mar.

Zahidual was fantastic! He was on time, very polite and professional. His Sous Chef was also very good, polite and respectful. The food was great, it was presented exactly how it was shown on the menu I was provided. I have already recommended take a chef to some friends and will use it again!

Chef Julian was on time and went right to work. He navigated an unknown kitchen like a pro. The food was all delicious and well presented. Had a little glitch with our BBQ not chef’s fault he was able to pivot and make it happen. Thoroughly enjoyed this experience would recommend it as a fun experience for anyone.

Das Menü von Isaac hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Kommunikation lief immer bestens und er ist auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen. Am Tag des Essens war Isaac pünktlich bei unserem Airbnb und hat auch den Tisch für uns eingedeckt. Das Essen war super lecker und er hat uns bei jedem Gang erklärt, was wir auf unserem Teller haben und wie er es zubereitet hat. Er hat uns auch einige Tipps für Restaurants in der Umgebung gegeben. Insgesamt können wir Isaac als Koch nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen! :)

Chef Julian was such a pleasure to have in our home cooking for us! He was very punctual and polite, was very on top of all communications and was very friendly and kind in every interaction. The food he made was so delicious, we were all very impressed with the options provided and the final product. The menu was thoughtful, fresh, and felt very luxurious based on all of the ingredients he chose. Would definitely hire him again. Thanks so much Chef Julian, you really made our New Years Eve so special and memorable!!

Our Chef was

Wow!!! We had an incredible meal with Chef Tharren. We chose the French Quarter menu, and it did not disappoint. Easily one of the most tasty and memorable meals in my life. Chef was easy to communicate with, punctual, and left the kitchen spotless. The dishes flowed seamlessly and were plated beautifully. large portions that we could not finish, getting to enjoy leftovers was the cherry on top!

Gustave nous a fait vivre un réveillon exceptionnel avec un repas de très très haut niveau !

Chef Kevin was great and helped to clarify questions I had regarding the private chef experience. Food exceeded expectations!

Paolo was responsive to our menu preferences and budget and produced a delightful 4 course meal for 14. He arrived on time and was highly organised leaving the kitchen, the crockery and the cutlery spotless. Mirco, his waiter, was highly professional and supported Paolo well. Our evening in Paolo's hands was a real treat.

Chef Ram and his assistants were everything we could have asked for...polite, attentive, professional and above all else excellent chefs.

The love Claudio has for creating a fine dining experience comes through in all he does form his communication before the event, to the sensational food he delivers. He went above and beyond. My 13 guests loved the experience. Highly recommend.

Cuisine à partir de produits locaux. Inventive fraiche delicieuse. Superbement présentée par Camille. Une soirée merveilleuse. Un grand merci a Camille

Excellente expérience à tous points de vue.
