Chef Tushar far exceeded all of our expectations. He went above and beyond to make a very special meal for my terminally ill mum. The food was fantastic and he was lovely. We would highly recommend Chef Tushar!

Nous avons passé une excellente soirée!

Prvo ovakvo iskustvo i savršeno od dolaska do odlaska! Predivna hrava, vrhunski spremljene namirnice, prezentacija i atmosfera iznad svih očekivanja!

Chef was brilliant, he made the evening truly memorable and extremely entertaining

Formidable menu proposé par Emilie. C’est la première fois que nous faisons appel à ce service et notre dîner d’anniversaire s’est révélé excellent. Elle a pu intégrer nos contraintes alimentaires à sa proposition et l’ajuster pour obtenir des Plats originaux et raffinés. Emilie est très sympathique et discrète.

Thank you, it was a wonderful experience

He was absolutely amazing. The food was absolutely amazing. Can't wait to book him again.

Cinnamon provided the most delicious excellent chef service for my weekend get together EVER! She dazzled us with every breakfast, lunch and dinner! She is an incredible chef! Every meal was beautiful and delicious!

Chef David is truly incredible! He was professional and easy to work with, the dishes looked as incredible as they tasted, and the clean up was spotless! Can’t recommend him enough!

Really, really enjoyed their food and their company! Very professional and very delicious!!

We had an incredible dinner with Chef Travis! It was the perfect way to end our trip to Sonoma!

Take a Chef was super easy to use, it connected us to Chef Alex who prepared a private anniversary dinner for my husband and I. Chef Alex was easy to work with, she provided menus to choose from, she was very communicative, her food was outstanding. Would highly recommend Take a Chef and Chef Alex.

Chef Salmon was fabulous. Very and professional. He interacted beautifully with everyone and did not rush through any of the evening. The food was incredible and my guests were beyond delighted. We could not be any more impressed.

Edi was fantastic. The food was perfect and the background info on each dish well presented. Highly recommend!

Le Chef Julien s’est parfaitement adapté au timing qu’imposait la présence d’un bébé, nous avons ainsi pu profiter pleinement de chaque plat en toute décontraction.

Églantine et Mélanie ont démontré un grand professionnalisme. Le repas était délicieux et le service de haute qualité. À refaire avec plaisir.

Chef Matthew blew expectations out of the park. Every dish was both stunningly presented and delicious. It was thoughtful and refreshing cuisine and I could not be happier with the result. He made it all work in the tiniest of kitchens too. I will personally recommend chef Matthew to anyone who is looking for a private chef for the evening.

Chef David was so great and easy to work with! Our group had a great time and really enjoyed the food! Highly recommend him.

James & his wife were amazing!!! Best food myself, my husband and our wedding guests ever had! The food was fresh, the taste was beautiful & cooked and served to perfection. They had great energy that fit our vibe. Was really easy to organise, book and pay on here. The chef changed up the menu to suit our needs, James had remained extremely fast and efficient. No stress at all & The service overall was 10/10

Una buena experiencia que seguro repetiremos. Gràcies
