Ismael and his team were incredible! We exchanged a few messages the day of booking to ensure everything went smoothly and it did! The food was amazing and he was very accommodating if anything needed tweaking on the menu to fit all of the guests needs/ requirements. Both Ismael and his helpers were super friendly and made the experience an unforgettable one - would highly recommend!

Beautiful food, particularly the brownie, excellent service and exactly as billed. Would hire Denis again

Wir hatten einen unvergesslichen Nachmittag mit Enrico. Das Essen war perfekt und wir konnten sehr viel von ihm lernen. Enrico ist ein leidenschaftlicher Koch mit großem Wissen und einer wundervollen Persönlichkeit. 100% Empfehlung!

Chef Fernando Evecherri was on time and delivered a hell of course, the dishes were fresh and everything tasted 10/10 and what a kind person too, would highly recommend.

Chef Nicole was absolutely incredible! I cannot recommend her enough. We used her for both a dinner and a brunch for 13 people and could not have asked for a better experience. She was super communicative during planning and her execution was phenomenal. Food and presentation delicious, with leftovers! :-) Thank you Chef!

Mustafa is an incredible chef who is extremely professional giving you that high end dining experience. Food was unbelievable and I would highly recommend anyone choosing their chef to go with Mustafa! Thank you again for making our trip away even more special!

Chef Ryan was phenomenal! This was our first time booking a private chef for a birthday celebration, and my partner and I haven’t stopped raving about the experience. You can tell Chef Ryan genuinely loves what he does; it shows in everything from his incredible attention to detail and impressive culinary skills to his professionalism and down to earth personality. He made the night truly memorable and somehow left our kitchen even cleaner than it was when he arrived. If you’re thinking about hiring a private chef, do yourself a favor and book with Ryan. The experience is nothing short of amazing.

James came to cook for our private dinner during our bachlorette trip. Before the day, he was very responsive and flexible as one individual in the group had a very different diet. He was very kind, attentive and engaging while still remaining discreet. We can tell that he is very passionate about cooking and respects the ingredients. The dishes were amazing and so tasty! We would recommend him 100%. Thank you again, this really contributed to our lovely weekend and our bride was surprised and very happy too :)

Sarah was incredible! The food was absolutely delicious, she was very friendly and the clean-up was immaculate. Would recommend to any one. Best experience we had - 10/10.

Absolutely perfection! Wendy had the most amazing breakfast and dinner for our group! Everyone loved the food and loved the service that she provided. Not only was she engaging, she was able to provide a level of service that was out of this world! I highly recommend her services!!

Chef Eli was absolutely amazing! Every single dish was Michelin starred restaurant quality, we eat out a lot and wanted to do something different for a birthday dinner. He was friendly, warm, and thoughtful of making our special occasion memorable! 10/10

Chef Rogerio prepared a lovely dinner for our multi-generational, bi continental family on the last night of a week long family vacation/ reunion. It was a wonderful experience and we ended our trip in the best way by being together, relaxed and sharing delicious food. From the onset Chef was easy to work with: he is responsive, flexible and offered many ideas to make our meal memorable.

This is the second year in a row we have asked Chef Alex to come and cook for our group on our annual trip. His food is fresh, delicious, creative, and just plain amazing. Chef Alex is also a joy to have in the kitchen. He’s engaging but focused on his job at hand and he leaves the kitchen spotless. Thank you, Chef Alex, for another incredible meal.

Chef très sympathique et professionnelle. Très bon repas

Tash was incredible - she really went the extra mile and would book her again in a heart beat - so engaging and the food was phenomenal.

Marius was totally professional! His actual cooking of the meal was seamless. The quality of the produce used was exceptional. The presentation of each dish was first class. The taste and overall food experience of each plate was superb! Ten out of ten Marius!

Chef Michael and his assistant did an amazing job. Chef Michael was very attentive and ensured were happy and everything was all cleaned up and packed away before leaving. Highly recommend! The whole meal was delicious!

Stanislas est un chef à l’écoute, très disponible, et prêt à s’adapter pour répondre aux attentes des convives de la soirée. Nous avons eu une très belle expérience, un délicieux dîner correspondant à notre demande sur le thème italien, avec des revisites de plat traditionnels très appréciées! Merci beaucoup! :)

We had a very nice with Nir who put attention to present himself, his backstory as well as each dish who were very good. He arrived well ahead of the dinner to have plenty of time to cook

Chef Joao was incredible. We hired him and his team for our small intimate wedding dinner. He curated a perfect menu and the food was so delicious. There were no complaints. His team was very attentive and they left the kitchen cleaner than they started with. I couldn’t recommend him and his team more.

Beautiful food, particularly the brownie, excellent service and exactly as billed. Would hire Denis again

Chef Fernando Evecherri was on time and delivered a hell of course, the dishes were fresh and everything tasted 10/10 and what a kind person too, would highly recommend.
