Chef Nivia was amazing, so friendly and engaging. We loved the stories behind everything she served. The food she cooked for us was out of this world. From the appetizers to salad to main course and the banana cheesecake. Oh let me not forget the rum punch! Absolutely delicious. Thank you chef Nivia for an amazing experience!!!

We had a great time and the food was delicious. It was really enjoyable and so nice to be treated to a wonderful meal and no need to clean!

Expérience incroyable grâce à Cécile et Louis. Ils ont été flexibles et professionnels. La qualité et la créativité des plats et du service étaient au delà de nos espérances ! Je recommande.

Bailey was absolutely incredible. What an amazing experience! Our guests literally licked the plate clean. It was such a wonderful meal, such a wonderful experience, and we would recommend Bailey to everyone every time!

We had an absolutely incredible private dinner experience with Chef Gabo and his wife. From start to finish, they were professional, warm, and highly skilled. Every detail—from the appetizers to dessert—was handled beautifully, and the entire meal was delicious and thoughtfully presented. They were very accommodating with our timing and made everything feel relaxed and effortless. The chef took the time to explain each dish, which added a deeper appreciation for the flavors and ingredients. His menu options were outstanding, and choosing between them honestly wasn’t easy—they all sounded (and turned out) amazing! The appetizers include a beautiful charcuterie board and amazing Argentinian empanadas. He grilled an authentic "Argentinian Asado" with all the sides, for us that was delicious and one of the best meals we had in our entire trip through Argentina. He finished off with a delicious dessert of a beautiful wine pear. One of the best parts? After preparing a full multi-course meal, they left the kitchen spotless—it was as if they had never even been there. It was the perfect blend of restaurant-quality food and the comfort of being at home. If you’re looking for an unforgettable meal in Buenos Aires, this experience is a must. The most amazing Asado you will ever have in Argentina! If you are able to book Chef Gabo do not hesitate! do it immediately you will not be disappointed!

Chef Rudolfo did a great job. He was punctual, engaging, and the food was incredible. Definitely a great experience that we will repeat!

Alvaro nos acompaño en una celebración y ha sido muy cordial y atento con todos los invitados.

Jela made such a special night for us. I would definitely recommend her.

Chef Jhon did an amazing job with our welcome dinner. He was very polite and informative about our items. We had a small kitchen but he did not complain. The food was prepared well and presented nicely. Chef Jhon is proud of his work and it was a memorable experience.

O jantar com o chef foi uma experiência maravilhosa e elevou completamente a nossa noite! A presença de um chef profissional na villa trouxe um toque sofisticado e, ao mesmo tempo, acolhedor ao nosso encontro entre amigos. O serviço foi impecável — tudo preparado com muito carinho, atenção aos detalhes e uma apresentação linda. A comida estava deliciosa, e o ambiente criado foi leve, descontraído e muito especial. Queremos agradecer de coração ao chef Thiago e ao seu assistente pelo trabalho incrível, pela simpatia e por terem feito parte desse momento tão marcante. Com certeza, foi um dos pontos altos do nosso fim de semana em Búzios!

Excelente!!

Amazing experience would definitely do it again

Chef G was absolutely amazing and awesome. We celebrated my birthday in the Ashville mountains. He came to our cabin and prepared our 4 courses, served it and cleaned up as well. We were very satisfied with his service and the portions. He was very helpful in suggesting a photographer for our event as well. CHEF G is the bomb.com......LOL!

We highly recommend chef Ramses and Shannon. They were fun to chat with, very professional, and talented. Also the cost was reasonable compared to other quotes for our dinner party of eight! We had such a blast with the chef and for our dinner party! Highly recommend and can’t wait to hire him again.

Our chef Eli was simply stupendous. The French cuisine food he prepared was scrumptious. Also, he knew when to engage with us and when to let us have our private moments. I would highly recommend Eli and takeachef.

This was a wonderful experience, definitely recommend the chef experience!

Phenomenal meal and experience!!

Ricardo was unbelievable. The food was some of the best we’ve ever had. He was so sweet and lovely to interact with. He cleaned up and even wrapped up some of the left overs beautifully. 100/10 highly recommend!

Lorenzo and Mara were absolutely delightful and the food was amazing. You will not be disappointed!

le Chef Rahman a été professionnel et attentif à nos besoins tout au long du repas. Il a jouté des surprises tout au long du diner pour le plus grand plaisir de mob mari dont c'était l'anniversaire. La cuisine était savoureuse, et créative, sans oublier d'être copieuse. Je le recommande fortement.
