Chef Joe was a delight! It was our first time hiring a private chef and he exceeded expectations.

The chef was incredibly friendly and punctual. Each dish was amazing and the presentation was great. We really enjoyed the dinner

I hired him for our wedding anniversary. He did a great job—good communication, high-quality ingredients, and the food turned out excellent. I would definitely hire him again!

What an amazing night. We arranged a surprise dinner to celebrate my parents' 25th wedding anniversary. Our family was incredibly impressed by the food and service from Chef Kadek and his assistant. Chef Kadek provided a customised Mediterranean style menu, taking into account dietary requirements and minor menu adjustments. Chef brought almost all of his own equipment, including a charcoal grill, to prepare some of the most delicious food. The fresh caught fish was a highlight. This was my first time hiring a private chef, but will absolutely do so again. An incredible night with family and delicious food. Thanks Chef!

This was our first experience with Take a Chef and certainly won’t be our last. It gets tiring eating out for every meal when traveling. Ainsley made our dinner a very special experience with a beautifully set table, exquisitely presented food and paired wines. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

One of the best meals I've ever had

chef thanavoot was amazing! he even fit in a guest last minute and took my request a day before! very professional, attentive, and accommodating! not to mention the meals were delicious!

Fue toda una experiencia! El Cheff Giuseppe hizo unos platos maravillosos con una explicación increíble. Fue una comida que disfrutamos muchísimo. Totalmente recomendable

I booked Zurath for my mother in law and she was delighted with his cooking and company. She had a wonderful evening and is already planning her next evening with him. I did most of the planning with Zurath, he was extremely helpful and organised.

Chef Marina was amazing from beginning to end. My entire experience with her was top tier. She also offered to help us with any activities we wanted to plan and sent us a list of recommended restaurants. I will definitely book her again on my next trip to Rio!

Chef Ricardo was fantastic as we had a group of 10 people. He was engaging and even let us cook with him. We had such a fun evening and the food was delicious! Clean up was just as impressive as his cooking too, which I greatly appreciated.

This experience with chef Thiago was truly one of a kind! He made mine and my family's experience in Rio de Janiero so special :) He was as professional as any restuarant chef I have met! Everything he did was top notch and he was so friendly and informative!

We were tited and we just relaxed abd let her do wverything

Chef David and Team were amazing! Very easy to work and communicate with! The dishes were extremely fresh, beautifully presented, and fun to learn about each dish throughout the process. Definitely would recommend, you won’t be disappointed!

I booked Lucas for a private chef for a special dinner in Pollensa and we were blown away by the experience. From start to finish We we’re amazed by the beautiful food Lucas made for us. We had the BBQ menu and all the guests commented on how tasty everything was. Lucas was polite, professional and really like a new friend putting us all at ease. If you’re looking for a private chef in Pollensa I would 100% book lucas. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Lucas so much!

Our chef knew his stuff. Presentations were beautiful. Items were cooked/served exactly right. Very enjoyable evening

Chef Nicolas and his team were DELIGHTFUL to work with. My company hired them to serve our 30-person mastermind group lunch every day for 3 days. The food was superb, the service was excellent, and our clients were thrilled. They easily catered to some dietary restrictions we had: gluten-free, vegetarian, and a nut allergy. They were always on-time with service and prepared well ahead of schedule. They were not bothered by slight delays that come with live events - very patient and service-oriented. Edwin (head server, I believe) really went above and beyond to care for our team and clients. Everyone loved him. I hope to work with them again in the future! You won't regret hiring this crew!!

Our experience with Chef Gabriele was well beyond our expectations! He communicated very well the week before and allowed us to customize the menu to our liking including a wonderful birthday cake with a custom message. He arrived early, set up the table beautifully and presented all of the dishes perfectly. The food itself was some of the best quality we have ever had including multiple local soups, cheeses, sundried tomatoes, truffles, gnocchi with wild boar from a local hunter and an absolutely amazing seafood stew, not to mention a birthday cake!!! The variety of dishes was astounding and he left the kitchen without a trace including some leftovers for the next day. Grazie mille Gabriele!!!

Chef Denis was a pleasure to work with. He was punctual, easy going and adaptable to our challenging group or 21. I highly recommend his services as he delivered high-quality meals and service throughout the entire weekend that we worked with him.

We had such a wonderful experience!
