Chef Pat Siebor made us an amazing meal - well presented, high quality ingredients and perfectly cooked. We really loved the meal. He left the kitchen spotless. We highly recommend him!

Chef Oswaldo was the best!

We enjoyed both the dishes for the adults and the separate menu we requested for the kids. As the chef prepared a generous quantity we were even able to enjoy some of it the day after as lunch! I consider the chef plus our waiter as friendly and professional and would definitely recommend them.

5 Stars - An Unforgettable Culinary Experience We hired Chef Joao to cater a special dinner for my 60th birthday celebration at our rented villa in Carvoeiro, Portugal, and I'm thrilled to say it was an absolute highlight of our trip. From the moment Chef Joao contacted me with his first menu suggestions, it was clear we were in for a treat. He took the time to understand our preferences and dietary requirements, crafting a menu that perfectly balanced local Portuguese flavours with our personal tastes. The meal itself was nothing short of spectacular. Each course was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. The selection of Portuguese starters was a particular standout, all beautifully prepared and presented – who knew that cheese and strawberry jam went so well together, but it did – wrapped in filo parcels, they were exceptional. As were the Cod pataniscas, sea bass, prawns and amazing samosas. The main course was filet mignon which was beautifully displayed on a board and set fire to, together with delicious chorizo, roasted veggies and fabulous long thin chips. There were also some gorgeous morsels of chicken mousse wrapped in bacon. The whole thing had everyone at the table raving – it was spectacular and so good! What impressed us almost as much as the food was Chef Joao's professionalism and attention to detail. They worked quietly and efficiently in the kitchen, timing each course perfectly so that our party could relax and enjoy the evening. Chef Joao’s special Sangria was an added bonus, although we did also have our own wine, both of which complemented each dish wonderfully, elevating the entire dining experience. After the meal, Chef Joao and his team cleaned the kitchen thoroughly, leaving it spotless - you'd never know a gourmet meal had just been prepared there. This level of consideration was greatly appreciated, allowing us to continue our celebrations without worrying about cleanup. Hiring Chef Joao for my birthday dinner was one of the best decisions we made for our trip. It provided all the luxury and personalization of fine dining, with the comfort and intimacy of eating at home. If you're looking for a truly special dining experience in Portugal, I cannot recommend Chef Joao highly enough. They turned a milestone birthday into an unforgettable gastronomic adventure.

Due to unforseen circumstances with our originally selected Chef, John stepped in at short notice and filled the previously agreed menu. He prepared a delicious meal for 6 adults and 3 children, with the 6 year old declaring it "the best food ever, 10/10". The meal was ready on time, and John was friendly and introduced each dish to us. The left overs were boxed for us and the kitchen left immaculate. Communication with both John, the original chef and the company was easy and quick. Can't recommend them highly enough. 5 stars for sure.

Chef Ang was one of the BEST parts of our vacation. She and her staff went above and beyond !!! I wanted to take her back to Canada with us. She was so professional. Always asking if we needed modifications and adhering to anything and everything with professionalism and grace. I loved having her for my women’s retreat I would hire her again and again

The dinner was perfect Really tasty The chef explained all the plates one by one :) I really recommend the chef the experience was just perfect for a dinner with a group of friends

Chef Sara was absolutely amazing. She did a 3 course cooking class for me and 17 of my closest friends, which I knew would be difficult given the sheer number, but Chef Sara took it in stride. The food was absolutely delicious and everyone had a blast making it. We made deep-fried ricotta balls with wild fennel and honey, Catania style salad, Cacio e pepe (roman style), and Sicilian Cannolis. Chef Sara was extremely quick to respond, and accommodating for our groups allergies and food preferences which was very helpful in planning. It was an overall seamless experience and I would recommend Chef Sara to anyone.

Chef Alessandro è stata un’ottima scoperta.. ci siamo divertiti un sacco, abbiamo assaggiato dei piatti buonissimi.. fantastica esperienza!

Le chef Freddy a été super! Magnifique prestation, tout était parfait À l’écoute et ponctuel

Chef Renee was amazing! We did not lift a finger the whole meal and she explained each dish which was so fun to hear! The kitchen was spotless when they left and it was the perfect evening with delicious food!!

We had a great dinner with Nicole. Our request was short notice, but planning was quick and smooth. She was very prepared and everything was delicious.

We had the pleasure of working with Trinity as a private chef for our team event, and she exceeded all expectations. Trinity was incredibly engaging and professional from start to finish. She did a fantastic cooking demonstration that was both interactive and informative, making the experience fun and memorable for everyone. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. We’re already looking forward to working with Trinity again for future events!

Fawzia Ali was truly amazing! Every meal was not only delicious but thoughtfully prepared with exceptional attention to detail. The quality, presentation, and flavor were consistently outstanding. Highly recommended — a true culinary professional who made our experience unforgettable!

Chef Angelica and her assistant Cecilia were the perfect addition to our vacation. The food was incredible. She happily accepted our recommendations and preferences and then complimented them with her own dishes. She was excellent at altering the menu's to fit our 6 kids, and our kids couldn't get enough of her food and her smoothies throughout the day. I'd definitely recommend her and use her again if our family is back in the Puerta Vallerta/Punta Mita area.

Great dinner party! Very easy to work with!

Great dinner and experience! Wilfredo is a very skilled chef and great person, highly recommend.

Chef Joe is a truly gifted, very professional master chef. The food was inventive, tasty, and perfectly prepared. Joe gave nice introductions to each of the dishes. He left the kitchen in clean condition. Overall, a great experience. Enthusiastically recommended.

Brandi is creative and fun. Food was amazing and she did an outstanding job making it a relaxing and fun night for us.
