An absolutely fabulous evening from start to finish. I chose my own personal menu, JaQuis was aware of my allergies and produced the most amazing meal. The flavours and textures of the food melded together to produce a feast for the palate. He was also personable and entertaining and I would highly recommend him.

What an absolutely amazing experience and service. The food was amazing! The service was amazing! And the personal touch and flexibility was amazing! 10/10 and would definitely book Chef JacQues and Lamanda again!!! Thank you both so much, my wife was pleasantly surprised and pleased with her gift! Private Feedback: Thank you so much for the flexibility and service! You all made me feel as though I got exactly what I paid for and I appreciate that!

The experience was top tier!! This was my family's 1st Christmas Vacation and Che JacQues and staff were very professional and the food was exquisite, 10 out of 10!!!! We ate and left no crumbs, LITERALLY. Chef shared some of his recipes and techniques with us as well. Definitely recommend booking Chef JacQues and will definitely book again the next time we're in Florida. Private Feedback: Again, thank you Chef JacQues for providing my family and I such a wonderful experience this past week for our 1st Family Christmas vacation. Everyone is still talking about how extremely good the food was 10/10!! Can't waitto book you again. Niketa and family ????

Everything was great!

Chef JacQues and staff delivered exceptional service and the food was absolutely amazing 10/10!! Chef and his staff shared stories with my family and I and even a few recipes. Chef was a pleasure to have and we certainly recommend them. Will most definitely book again the next time we're in Florida.

We had booked earlier in our vacation for brunch, an after having it we requested to have him come back and serve his dinner menu! Everything was absolutely amazing! My 11 year old nephew with taste buds of a five year old, even indulged in each meal and absolutely loved everything agreeing with everyone else- that it was the best meals of his life! Thank you again for an amazing experience we hope to see you again on our next vacation! Private Feedback: Thank you again for everything!

Absolutely recommend, the best brunch my family and I have ever had. We had him come back a few days later before our trip ended to serve dinner as well. He sets such an amazing atmosphere from beginning to end, is very good with the flow and will attend to any an all needs! Please don’t think twice about booking he can accommodate all. Private Feedback: Thank you again for everything it was absolutely amazing! Hope to book with you again the next time we’re in the area.

Oh, this is sooo much nicer than I planned. Not that I doubted, but it was my first time booking through Airbnb. The rave reviews (including this one) are true. It was organized, easy, and relaxing experience from booking to the very end. Chef Jaquis is legit. The food was delicious and flavorful. We had extras ????????. His team was lovely and professional. It was magical, book them today. Private Feedback: Thank you so much for such a special birthday brunch!

Great experience! A lot of fun for my teen son. Delicious food!

This dude is the GOAT!!!!

Great presentation The food was delicious, highly recommended!

The Orlando Memoires was very good. The presentation was very good and the meals were very flavorful.

The experience was amazing! My family and I enjoyed the delicious brunch Chef Jacques prepared for us. He was so helpful and patient with my requests from the very first inquiry. He arrived on time and did his magic. I really love the jazz He played while preparing our brunch, it added a nice touch. I've already recommended Chef Jacques and the experience to friends and will definitely be booking Chef when I return back to Orlando!

We had high tea for a bachelorette weekend and the experience far exceeded our expectations! They came and decorated everything beautifully and in theme. They did a great job making sure our dietary restrictions were addressed. They talked to us about some of the history behind tea. It was all fabulous! Private Feedback: Thank you again for such a great time. We loved Lamanda! The only piece of constructive feedback I have is that I wasn’t expecting set up to take so long so that could be communicated more. All the set up was beautiful though so very much worth the wait!

Chef Jacques was amazing from beginning to end. We were on our multi generational family vacation and wanted to do something different, so we hired Chef Jacques. Chef was well prepared and started working his magic immediately. We went with the brunch menu, on paper it look like a simple breakfast. However, Chef added his own spin on things and it was all delicious Fluffy but just enough crunch on the waffles with savory syrup, fresh fruit, eggs and more . I would definitely recommend hiring Chef Jacques.

JacQues was an outstanding private chef who made our brunch unforgettable. He was funny, prompt, and meticulous with both the prep and cleanup. The brunch was absolutely delicious, and he was very accommodating with modifications, ensuring we had no dietary restrictions. He even played music during our meal, which truly set the mood. His attention to detail and engaging personality made the morning special. Highly recommend JacQues for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience!
