Chef Marco was exceptional. We hosted a private dinner party for my Husband's surprise birthday, and Chef Marco was available to me during all the advance planning and discussions. His food was beyond what we were expecting, every single guest (including some picky eaters) were delighted. Not only that, but Chef was super nice, professional, and made the entire night a 10/10. Could not recommend more highly!

Marius was very professional from start to finish. His communication was brilliant, and for filled every request/tweak that I had without any issues. After arriving on time at our venue he just cracked on and prepared our food with no issues at all. The food was absolutely delicious, we couldn’t fault anything. His service was great too and left the kitchen is immaculate condition. I would highly recommend Marius!

Chef Pasquale and his team did such an incredible job for my mom's birthday dinner. We all could not believe how much food there was, it felt like unlimited courses coming at us and every new item was better than the last. The food was SO incredibly tasty and the experience overall was so fantastic. I couldn't recommend him enough!

We visited Costa Rica for my 41st birthday and rented a nice home and hired Cindy for a breakfast, lunch, 2 dinners, and afternoon snacks and drinks. She worked with us from the beginning to come up with a menu that worked within our tastes and budget. We always had more than enough food for the meal and then could revisit leftovers later that night or the next day. Prep, serving, and cleanup were all taken care of which gave us more time back in the day to enjoy our trip. While each meal was delicious the Costa Rican breakfast the first morning after we landed really got us going. I’d highly recommend hiring Cindy - we would again in a heartbeat.

Bradley is an excellent chef. He if friendly and efficient. His food was delicious.

Chef Romain’s food and service were wonderful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at the villa. That said, we would have loved a bit more explanation and storytelling around the dishes he prepared. The chef's assistant serving us was very pleasant, though a bit shy and not very eloquent in presenting the courses.

Chef Michael was wonderful. Everyone raved about the food. I would definitely use him again!

Giovane was an excellent chef!! He was always on time and communicated everything effectively from start to finish! The food was always delicious and he followed the menu plan just as we had it planned! We highly reccomend him if you are in need of a chef in Rio!! Thanks again for my making my birthday trip special!

Ramiro Curual's food was beyond expectation. They arrived on time and were very professional. The food tasted excellent, and the presentation made the evening feel very elevated. I booked them for a friend's birthday dinner while on a trip, and they created the perfect celebratory ambiance. We were all so pleased with the meal. I especially appreciate that they accommodated one plant-based menu for a vegan guest, and it was also delicious. Highly recommend.

Chef Luis and his Sous Chef Janet were so amazing and fun. Luis was an incredible chef and the food was beyond delicious. I had to eat slower to savour it. My friends and I had a great time and it was an unforgettable birthday for me. Highly highly recommend.

My wife and I usually celebrate our birthday going out for dinner every year, but this time we wanted to do something different and decided to try a private chef experience through Take a Chef. The entire process was very easy — from sending a request to reviewing menus and following up with the chef. We have specific dietary restrictions (we are vegetarian with no eggs, no meat, and no fish), and this was handled exceptionally well. Chef Oran was absolutely fantastic — punctual, professional, and very attentive to our preferences. The food was incredible from start to finish, full of flavor, beautifully presented, and never felt limited despite our restrictions. This experience felt on par with, or even better than, some of the restaurants we regularly visit, while being far more personal and memorable. It truly made our celebration special. Highly recommend both Take a Chef and Chef Oran!

Evan was super accomodating and made sure our girls dinner could be relaxing so that we could focus on catching up.

Dino and Sara were amazing. They made a special occasion even more special through their carefully planned meal. They arrived early, were the ultimate professionals and left our kitchen spotless upon completion of dinner service. The meal description in both English and French was a nice touch. If you are looking for a great chef and experience, Dino should be your choice.

Amazing food, wonderful experience.

He was so nice and hospitable while spoiling us with course after course of delicious Italian food. Our staff loved this experience. Thank you Chef Leandro!

Chef Charles was fantastic. He was responsive, punctual, professional, and the food was delicious and beautifully prepared. Everything went smoothly, and he made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Would absolutely book him again.

Terry ist sehr professionell und total sympathisch. Terry hat einzelne Elemente des Menüs so zubereitet, dass auch unser zweijähriger Sohn sie gerne gegessen hat. Wir sind total zufrieden und hatten einen wunderbaren Abend.

C’était génial nous avons passé une agréable soirée, tout était délicieux sans exception. Je recommande les yeux fermés

Felix was wonderful!! We really enjoyed our time with him, and the meal. What a fantastic event. Thank you chef!

Hollie cooked for my Mum's birthday for 12 in a rental In Bath. Helpful, responsive, good was amazing and I couldn't recommend her more.
