Chef Don Saintilmond

Private Chef In Cockburn Town

I am a professional chef from Turks And Caicos island with over 12 years of experience. My love and passion for cooking started at a very young age and has been unstoppable ever since. I further my training experience at a 5 star resort in one of the most popular luxurious Caribbean destination (Turks and Caicos). I also had the opportunity to run a local restaurant exploring different cultural dishes and cuisine and also further this experience in another branch in London.

For me, cooking is...

I had the opportunity to gain a large amount of experience in several fine dining restaurants and 5 star resorts, local restaurant,

A cooking secret...

The food was very palatable , flavorful, and appetizing. The presentation of the food was beautiful, the professionalism and attentiveness of Chef Don was unmatched.

Chef Don Saintilmond was truly incredible and the meal he prepared was divine! Chef Don went above and beyond to make the night special. He took time to explain each dish before dinner and he continued to check on us throughout the dinner. He engaged with the party and thanked us for having him before departing. He left the kitchen spotless and the food packed in containers to easily place in the fridge. Thank you Chef for sharing your time and talent with us. Lady M

Excellent experience with Chef Don. Great communication ahead of time. Food was great, as well as presentation. We would definitely use again!

Chef Don and his assistant Jon were an incredible team! All food was amazing. He sent out draft ideas for meals and then responded to our feedback on desires perfectly. He was able to accommodate some last minute changes that came up during our trip which was much appreciated! He left the place even cleaner than what he found it. We would not hesitate to work with him again!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Chef Don was awesome!!! We had a party of 12 women and NOT one complaint about the food that Chef Don prepared for us. He was very accommodating for the food restrictions and allergies that we requested. If you’re in TCI this is the chef you need to book!

Chef Don was incredibly professional, punctual, and most importantly, a wonderful chef - the food was absolutely amazing, and he and his team took care of everything (setting up, cooking, and cleaning).

Chef Don completely exceeded all of our expectations - his food was absolutely the best our family has had and this professionalism and hospitality were top notch. Not only was the food delicious, it was visually appealing as each table setting and presentation was like we were in a 5-star restaurant. I HIGHLY recommend Chef Don and his team. Incredible experience - it was quite a treat :)

Chef Don and his team were simply fantastic. He responded promptly to all of my questions, helped craft delicious custom menus and put together three spectacular meals for us. A very special birthday brunch and dinner capped off our stay- complete with balloons, sparkler candle and a delicious cake. Chef Don, Boss lady Cassandra and Jon are simply the best!

The whole evening was incredible and exceeded our expectations
