Chef Christopher was a great fit for our occasion. The food was fresh, local and amazing. It really made for a special night. Can highly recommend Chef Christopher to all.

Paolo was punctual, personable and so friendly. An amazing dining experience. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. I would highly recommend.

Chef Meychel and his team were incredible I highly highly recommend for anyone to have this experience to go through with them

Félix es un gran profesional, nuestra cena fue una experiencia de 10. Lo recomendamos sin dudarlo y seguro que repetimos!

Wow! Marcus created a very special evening for us. A brilliant chef with fantastic skills and knowledge. He was a pleasure to have in our home, engaging and polite. His food was exceptional. We will have him again,

We only have good things to say about our experience with Chef Leo. The food was fantastic. He navigated our chaotic household with young kids with grace and was accomodating to everyone's preferences and dietary restrictions. Would 100% book again.

Incredible Chef! The meal was so delicious. I highly highly recommend!

Wir waren total überrascht. Der Chefkoch Alessandro war super. Er war sympathisch, professionell, das Essen war hervorragend. Wir durfen ein wundervolles Mittagessen geniessen mit der Familie. Einfach wunderbar. Grazie mille Chef Alessandro.

Chef Kirill was amazing! From his attentiveness prior to our meal in curating a delicious menu to executing his plan, we were more than amazed. He made breakfast for our family at our Airbnb in Tulum the morning of our wedding and it made that day much more special. The presentation, taste, service and cleanup was immaculate. I will definitely be doing this again in the future!

Ryan created an exceptional dining experience for us! A delicious menu of high quality ingredients with perfectly blended flavors. Combined with the high level of service we felt like we were in a private dining room of one of the best restaurants in LA! Thank you!

Chef Carlos was great! He made a great impression and his dishes were amazing!

Food was incredible great experience

Andrea gave us the chance to taste her delicious and generous dishes 7 times during our 10 days trip to Tenerife with family and friends, including a special dinner for my 40th birthday. These were 7 memorable dinners for 8 to 10 people, with a different menu every day, in a buffet style or seated served "à l'assiette" depending on what we discussed in advance, made with fresh and local products when possible. We had the chance to discover the Canarian cuisine thanks to her, but also specialities from Venezuela where she is from, as well as food inspired from all over the world. She is definitely the queen of ceviches and fish tartars ! And my mother cried over her risotto as it was too much pleasure for her. Andrea is also very flexible when elaborating the menus, thinking about options for vegetarians and considering any allergy. To sum up, we highly recommend Andrea who is genuine, reliable, and gifted. Get ready for the explosion of flavors !

Chef Meychel was amazing and created a really great experience for us all! The menu was incredible and you could tell a lot of thought went into it! Highly recommend!

The chef I had was amazing!!

Kadek impressed us with his personality, charm, skills and experience from the first minute. The food was absolutely delicious and we enjoyed every single bite. Everyone who‘s lucky enough to be able to book him for their private dinner experience shouldn’t hesitate a second. 10/10

Sergi es un gran cocinero. Si comida está llena de sabor y hace una fusión entre la cocina clásica catalana y la asiática muy rica. Loe productos eran de temporada, muy buena calidad y abundantes, hemos acabado muy satisfechos. Estuvo amable y atento o en todo momento con mantuvimos una charla muy agradable. Lo recomiendo sin duda

We had a date night planned, and Stéphane Nema was our private chef. At first I thought of having a japanese menu, but upon learning his Caribbean origins we decided to go for a seafood Caribbean menu instead. A feast of flavors, the dinner was amazing, even the dessert was super (and I normally don't eat them), I highly recommend Stephane.

Chayana is a very professional and personable chef and catered perfectly for our birthday celebraton dinner

The entire process was amazing from start to finish. From inputting my requirements to receiving proposals from the Chefs, and choosing from various extensive and skilled menus, I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Chef Carlos Matos went above and beyond and created a menu that not only inspired us but also was a delight to watch evolve through the courses. I had asked for wine suggestions, which I believe is not something that he would usually offer but Chef Carlos couldn’t have been more accommodating and the wines he chose for us were superb - as an avid wine drinker I can say they complemented the dishes perfectly and were very easy to drink ????. The menu was amazing, each course was served promptly and was made using fresh local ingredients. My favourite part was the dessert, the poached pear was soft and juicy and full of flavour and there was a slight saltiness to the hazelnut ice cream which really balanced the flavours of the dish. Not only did Chef Carlos produce an amazing menu but he also left the kitchen looking as though he hadn’t been there. It was spotless and everything was returned to its rightful place. He was responsive, helpful and friendly and communicated with us from the point of booking until we landed to ensure a smooth encounter. We had a lovely date night and I can only recommend Chef Carlos and the Take a Chef team if you want a nice relaxed evening of great food. We will definitely book again if we return to Lisbon!
