Chef Adele was delightful. The food was delicious and the serving sizes were generous, which made my husband happy! Everything was tidied up afterwards. Very professional service, great food. Would hire again.

Chef Duarte was not only incredibly talented but also wonderfully personable and entertaining. With genuine passion, he explained each dish and its ingredients, making the evening both delicious and educational. The food was absolutely incredible - flavorful, beautifully presented, and expertly crafted. It truly made the event extra special, I highly recommend him.

Pour notre première expérience, un dîner en amoureux , Ashiqur nous a ravi. Une gentillesse et une discrétion qui n'ont d'égales que la qualité gustative du menu présenté.

Our chef João and his assistant created a very memorable meal for us on our last day in Algarve. We spoke often about the menu and the options that were available since he sources his ingredients locally. The presentation of the food was very appealing and the food itself was just lovely...we had absolutely no complaints. João explained each course and even provided us with his recipe for dessert! They left the kitchen cleaner than when they started! Please do not hesitate to engage his services....you will not be disappointed.

What a great experience! Chef Richard was so personable. Everyone enjoyed both the experience and the Chef immensely.

Chef Hermes was thoughtful in considering diet restrictions and made a birthday guest cake that was delicious and beautiful. I cannot say enough good things about Chef Hermes and his incredible food.

When you travel to Costa Rica for a family vacation and need to feed 10 Adults & 5 children, all under the age of 5, how do you even satisfy all of these people? Hire Chef Felix and Chef Arlen to make dinner! They did an amazing job, we had them cook five meals for us and each menu was delicious. We were able to eat a variety of foods and pick from various menus based on regions, my favorite was the Peruvian night, the Ceviche and Seabass were delicious! We all really enjoyed our last night when we let the Chefs pick the menu for us, everyone was delighted and raved how good the food tasted. This was definitely the highlight of our time spent in Costa Rica, being able to have dinner in our special villa, sitting outside while all the kids enjoyed themselves....doesn't get any better then this for a family vacation. Many new memories were made and the Chefs were a big part of our experience. They are a 5 star team and would highly recommend to anyone thinking about hiring a Chef....just do it!! I will truly miss having them make our meals, so accommodating and friendly!

We booked with Chef Charlene, but got David and his brother Ricardo instead. They worked for her, so we were a bit surprised that she wasn't with them. With that said, David and Ricardo were amazing! They did a great job describing each dish and the presentation was beautiful. We all loved each and every dish and would definitely have them back to cook for us again.

Chef Ronda was absolutely amazing. Her bubbly personality, the table decor, her stories, her attentiveness, and the food elevated the experience. She was cheerful and an absolute joy to be around. She brought a beautiful selection of decor to decorate the table that just elevated the experience, and her stories made us smile. She customized the decor, food, and cocktails to reflect our specific needs and communicated with us every step of the way. The food and cocktails were beyond amazing, and we still talk about the amazing dishes we had today. The whole experience was Michelin level, and if we are ever in the area we will definitely book a private dinner with her again. If Chef Ronda is available for your event, do not hesitate to book her!! She is absolutely amazing, and you do not want to miss out on this experience!

Giovanni was amazing! his food was incredible and he was very very nice. he picked us up a dessert when we didn’t include that which was very caring. I would highly recommend him to everyone!!!

Tash and her team provided an excellent dinner service. She communicated with me throughout the process, from beginning to end. She was able to cater to a strictly vegan menu and all the courses were marvelous. Everything from plating to taste was fantastic and she is honestly a wonderful human being. Anyone who books with her is guaranteed to have a professional, uniquely catered for and delicious menu that is worthy of world class fine dining standards.

Senzillamente sensacional... para repetir sin dudarlo: trato extraordinario, excelencia gastronómica... cercanía, amabilidad y buen hacer. Un extraordinàrio professional y una magnífica persona: el chef Alejandro nos regaló una experiència para recordar.

The Chef was amazing. The food was seasoned perfectly, the portions were great we even had left overs. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Cabo.

Absolutely amazing experience! We had the pleasure of having Chef’s Dadi cook for us for the week, and every single meal was a hit. The food was not only incredibly flavorful, but also healthy and beautifully presented. You can really tell how much care and expertise goes into everything they prepare. On top of that, they were always punctual, super friendly, and made the entire week feel so effortless and enjoyable. Truly elevated our entire stay—highly recommend and would absolutely work with them again!

Chef Pedro cooked five days of amazing dishes for our family of 24. He was a constant professional and was willing to make changes if necessary. It was truly a great experience every morning. We highly recommend his services.

Rien à redire. Le chef a parfaitement répondu à nos attentes. Je peux que le recommander.

Very professional, works quickly and tells stories during his work. The food was very delicious, with a twist in each dish. We liked it very much. He was with us for ca. 2 hours and it ran away in minutes. We recommend him for everybody. Thank you.

We just returned from a week in San Jose del Cabo which was made exceptional because of Guillermo and his team. We booked him for two breakfasts and five dinners and had an absolutely fabulous experience! The quality of the food was exceptional as was the presentation each and every night. The sea bass was a family favorite, one that was prepared twice two different ways. We also enjoyed the enchiladas, tacos, pasta, pizza, steak, fresh fruit and vegetables, several types of salads and desserts, cocktails pared with each menu and an impressive breakfast spread two mornings. Guillermo and his team were able to accommodate the specific needs of our nine family members, including vegetarians, a diabetic, and a lenten menu. He also accommodated some menu changes mid-week as well as moving one dinner up a night because of a scheduling error on my part. Once booked, be sure to bring enough cash to cover food and tip as using paypal or other electronic services carry hefty fees that can easily be avoided. Not cooking or cleaning, which included the floors, provided invaluable family time. It was so good we canceled one of our elevated dining experiences because of what we were eating at home. I cannot say enough good things about this experience!!

Chef Diego was fantastic for our girls dinner for 2. Was very communicative in the lead up to our dinner with our menu selections, was engaging during our dinner and the conversation flowed freely. A very talented chef, and we will definitely be recommending (and engaging with him) for future events. Thank you Chef for making our girls weekend awesome.

I had the pleasure of experiencing the culinary wonders of Chef Oli and Olivia during our recent stay in Snowmass, and I must say, they truly exceeded all expectations! Not only was the food absolutely delicious and elevated, but both Chef Oli and Olivia seamlessly fit in as part of the family, making the experience even more enjoyable. Chef Oli and Olivia went above and beyond in catering to each of our six kids and six adults, ensuring that everyone was delighted with their meals. Their warm and friendly demeanor made them feel like they were part of our family, and it was evident that they genuinely cared about making our event special. In addition to their incredible cooking skills, Chef Oli and Olivia meticulously cleaned the kitchen to perfection, leaving it spotless. They also generously picked up any items we needed from the store. I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with such a talented and caring chef, and I will definitely be using their services again in the future. If you are looking for a culinary experience that goes above and beyond, Chef Oli and Olivia are the perfect choice!
