Nous sommes absolument ravis de la prestation de notre chef à domicile. Du début à la fin, l'expérience a été exceptionnelle. Les plats étaient parfaitement préparés et la présentation impeccable, un véritable régal pour les yeux et les papilles. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié l'efficacité du chef tout au long de la journée, assurant un déroulé fluide et sans accroc. Sa capacité à s'adapter parfaitement à notre cuisine a été remarquable, démontrant un grand professionnalisme. Enfin, nous avons trouvé la cuisine d'une propreté impeccable après son départ, ce qui est un vrai plus. La prestation était totalement conforme à nos attentes, et même au-delà. Nous recommandons vivement ce chef à domicile pour une expérience culinaire inoubliable !

Chef Guilherme is a highly qualified chef who made our family dinner at home a very special event. He has a good choice of seasonal menus. We had very good communication about the menu beforehand, he answers quickly to all questions and came to our house on time as agreed. We had a lovely four course summer menu including a refreshing melon soup, aspargus, lovely porc filet and an amazing chocolate cake with his home made salty caramel sauce. His food has a story and he explains very well. Everything was very well prepared and served at good intervals. I highly recommend hiring him for a chef-at-home experience

Chef Alex was fantastic. He was up beat and polite and very attentive and willing to accommodate a special menu for our celiac guest. It was a fantastic experience for the 9 of us, and he even left us some left overs in the fridge to eat the next day! Highly recommend Alex and his culinary skills if you want to have a special experience with great service and delicious food.

Great chef!

Luis and his team were amazing! We celebrated my mother’s birthday and he was punctual, clean, and made a delicious meal! He was very accommodating to my mom’s gluten intolerance and created a perfect meal that was enjoyed by everyone of our 13 person party! Absolutely no complaints. He even brought beautiful table decor and did champagne service for a toast with our champagne. Would absolutely book him again!

Chef Miguel was absolutely incredible. He was so kind and gracious and made the most delicious four course meal for my group of friends at our villa. I could not recommend him enough for your dinner in the Azores. He was so prompt with responses to my questions and gave great options for each course for me to pick. This was a highlight of our Azores vacation. Book him immediately!

Incredible experience with Chef Si. She was attentive, inviting, knowledgeable, and made this entire night special. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a fun way to bring a night out, in. She will curate a great menu specific to your needs.

Chef Valentin was amazing! He catered to our every need. The menu was perfectly matched to what we requested and over the course of the week he adjusted based on our preferences with ease. Everything was delicious and impeccably prepared. We had 16 women with various tastes and every single one agreed having Chef Val was the highlight of our trip. His English is great and he was so easy to work with. Extremely professional and a joy to be around. Highly recommend!!

I reached out to Chef Alex last minute for a client, and he truly came through! He was incredibly professional, easy to communicate with, and made everything happen seamlessly despite the short notice. The food was absolutely amazing — every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. On top of that, Chef Alex was so kind and personable throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend booking him if you’re looking for a top-notch private chef. I’ll definitely be working with him again!

Chef Cassandra was amazing! She was extremely attentive to the event which was a surprise dinner for my parents' anniversary. We were very impressed with each of the courses. She was extremely kind/thoughtful and the food tasted great. The presentation was very nice too. She also very thorough with cleanup. She also brought all materials for the event as we were in an AirBnB. It was a great event. I would highly recommend Chef Cassandra to anyone!

My husband and I thought the whole experience very interesting. Lovely food, presented well and Also was friendly and easy to talk to. Very professional. Great evening.

Unbelievably service and food

Chef Marnee was amazing! The food, presentation, and her presence contributed to an A+ evening. We would absolutely love to work with her again and will be telling all of our family and friends about her. Thank you, Marnee!

Rosanna was AMAZING! It was an evening we won't forget! The favors were terrific. Look forward to having her cook another meal for us in the future

Thank you so much for a delicious and beautiful meal. All of my guests were so happy and I got to enjoy the gathering.

We hired Roberto and Filippo with just one day’s notice after the chef we had originally booked cancelled at the last minute. They offered us an incredible menu and managed to prepare everything in under 24 hours. There was great variety and every single dish was absolutely delicious — they truly exceeded all our expectations. They arrived with plenty of time, organized everything beautifully in the kitchen, and set the table with care and style. There was even a missing suitcase with some glasses, and they managed to have someone bring it just in time — total professionalism. After the dinner, they left the kitchen spotless — they washed all the dishes, cleaned the entire space, and even mopped the floor before leaving. It was as if they had never been there, except we were left with amazing memories and very full stomachs! Everything was freshly made on the spot with ingredients that were clearly of high quality. The dessert, an amaretto mousse, was the perfect ending — simply amazing. Everyone was thrilled. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful service on such short notice. Huge thanks for going above and beyond. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone hosting an event in Sardinia. The quality they delivered for the price per person was outstanding. Thank you so much — we hope to see you again soon!

Sean was fantastic. In the build up to the event, comms were great - we shared menu ideas and he gave me good wine-pairing recommendations. On the day, he was on time, and he was polite and engaging. It was a pleasure having him in our kitchen. The food was truly delicious and he cleaned everything up after. Sean comes very highly recommended!

Laura and her team were amazing! So attentive and food was perfect. A highlight from our trip.

Emily and Florence were both amazing! Emily was great at communicating beforehand which made me feel very relaxed before my sisters Hen! The food was amazing, presentation was so good. They also cleaned up and left it spotless! Would highly recommend and will definitely book again for any future events!
