Super soirée avec la cheffe Paula ! Un repas délicieux , une cheffe adorable , très professionnelle qui nous a permis de passer une soirée privilégiée directement chez nous.

Chef Chris truly enriched our stay over many days with her wonderful cooking and great flexibility. She was very attentive to our wishes, especially those of the kids, and always made a real effort to prepare everything exactly the way we liked it. Even when the stove stopped working on the second-to-last day, she reacted quickly and professionally, adapted the plan, and still made everything work beautifully. She was also always punctual and reliable, exactly as agreed. Overall, we were very happy with her and really appreciated having her with us.

Maruxa und ihre Partnerin waren hervorragende Gastgeber und haben uns einen tollen Abend bereitet. Sie waren sehr aufmerksam, haben sich um alles gekümmert und das Essen war hervorragend.

L expérience a été excellente.

Claire was great, all the dishes were wonderful and we were very well fed. Both her and her assistant were very attentive whilst also letting us enjoy our dinner. The kitchen was also left completely spotless! Would reccomend to anyone looking for a great private chef experience!

Paula was amazing, she prepared a beautiful experience for our family. She is an expert in seafood, and rice dishes we had squid ink rice as the first main course and then salt baked fish - it was beyond amazing and such a special experience and memory. We would Paula again and again. She is professional, lovely and very independent. The food was outstanding and felt incredibly local and unique as an experience.

From the very start, Demaride’s menu was a class above. It really excited me and she totally understood the brief. Her communication in the run up was brilliant. When she arrived, she worked incredibly hard and offered us an outstanding dinner for a BIG group - an even more impressive achievement considering the size of the very small kitchen. She was brilliant and we would absolutely recommend! Thank you Demaride.

We booked chef Mourad for my sister’s bachelorette party in Marrakech and it exceeded all expectations. Having a private chef come directly to our Airbnb created such a special and luxurious atmosphere from the moment we arrived. Every dish was beautifully prepared, incredibly flavorful, and thoughtfully presented, the food was absolutely exceptional. The service throughout was seamless, professional, and attentive, making the entire experience feel effortless and truly elevated. It was the perfect addition to such a special celebration and created memories our group will talk about for years to come. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an unforgettable private dining experience in Marrakech.

We had an incredible experience with Take a Chef for a bachelorette party. The menu was excellent, and every dish was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. Our chef, Ana, was lovely, friendly, and made the entire experience feel special and effortless. The food exceeded our expectations, and it was such a fun and memorable addition to our celebration. Highly recommend!

Simone and Melissa hosted an incredible dinner for 6 of us for my parents wedding anniversary. Beautiful table, absolutely amazing food (catering seamlessly for a coeliac guest), incredible service - Simone and Melissa were delightful, thoughtful and made it an incredible experience. We absolutely loved it, thank you!

Christophe is excellent. From the beginning, great and swift communication. The meal was excellent. Thank you Christophe.

"Incredibly professional and thorough! Marco meticulously planned each night's menu with me, and his attention to detail resulted in meals that delighted my whole family—children included. Marco and his assistant, Mollie, come highly recommended!"

Chef Matteo prepared a wonderful four course meal over three hours long for our family of eight when we visited from the Piedmonte district. There was a mix of dishes we had never experienced and familiar ones done extremely well. Recommend highly! Not only was his food spectacular but he was so easy to work with. He made the whole evening a very special and enjoyable memory for our family.

Franco and Mia was amazing. Superb food and a high quality experience.

Jose was fantastic! He took the time to understand our requirements and created an excellent menu tailored to our needs. The food was delicious, full of flavour, and beautifully prepared. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a chef in Ibiza.

Moment de dégustation et convivialité alite très agréable. Bravo pour sa prestation réussie

We would gladly book him again and give him our highest recommendation. **5/5 stars – outstanding food, impeccable service, and a truly memorable experience.** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Gli chef sono stati eccezionali, puntuali, discreti, gentili e disponibili. Era la nostra prima esperienza e ci riteniamo assolutamente soddisfatti! Non ci aspettavamo tutto quel servizio : hanno preparato, ci hanno serviti al tavolo e a pranzo concluso avevano anche già magicamente finito di pulire tutto! hanno portato anche via i rifiuti! veramente una bellissima esperienza! Straconsiglio questa coppia di chef! non rimarrete delusi!

The entire experience far exceeded our expectations! From the food, to the presentation, to the experience! The quality of food was top tier! We were able to try so many dishes that we would not have been able to under a normal restaurant menu. Dining at our air bnb over looking the ocean is something we will never forget. He was also great at respecting a specific food allergy within our party. This is something we will definetly do again!
