Abbigail was fantastic! Professional, flexible and excellent quality.

I cannot praise Adam enough! We were 8 people at the table & every one was in taste heaven at each course. Adam made the whole experience something memorable & all our guests went home fully replete & happy.

We are incredibly happy that we had the pleasure of having Juan cook us a private meal! He was punctual and prepared a delicious nine-course meal for us. We appreciated that we could eat at our own pace, and he provided so many leftovers that he packed them up and stored them in the fridge. Additionally, he cleaned the kitchen and left it spotless. The food was amazing; we were so full, but we just couldn’t stop eating. We highly recommend choosing Juan as your chef; you will not be disappointed!

Chef Miguel was an excellent start to my vacation in Punta Cana! Every dish was wonderful and there was so much food. I could not eat it all, but I tried!!! He was very attentive to my guests and I. The only unfortunate thing is that he left before I could provide him with additional gratuity as his service and food is well worth it!

I had the pleasure of experiencing the exceptional culinary talents of Chef’ Salmon and I couldn’t be more impressed. Every dish was not only incredibly tasty but also crafted with the highest quality ingredients and attention to detail. The flavors were outstanding, and it was clear that Chef Salmon pours passion and creativity into every meal. The service was equally impeccable, with everything delivered seamlessly and professionally, making the experience truly unforgettable. If you’re looking for a personal chef who can elevate any occasion with their remarkable skills and dedication, Chef Salmon is the one to choose. I highly recommend him and look forward to enjoying his exceptional creations again in the future! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Chef David and his brother did a spectacular job having to change the menu at the last minute due to a drop in the number of guests to be served. Instead of a traditional wine pairing, they made custom tropical drinks for each course which was unexpected but very much appreciated. They would make any party proud to have hired them.

Chef Was very responsive he granted me everything I wanted!!! Would book him again when I come to Punta Cana!!! He made my birthday brunch awesome!!

Chef Fabio and his beautiful wife were perfect!

Our family loved Chef Ramiro and his wife! They provided 5 dinners for us during our stay near Puerto Morelos. They were always punctual and all the meals were made with fresh ingredients and plated for us. One in our group required gluten-free meals and he made accommodation for that which was greatly appreciated! His communication was excellent. For us, this arrangement was better than buying the groceries ourselves and making dinners. Who wants to do all that on vacation?! We appreciated having leftovers for the next day lunch. I would definitely hire them again when we rent a villa in this area! Thank you to them both!!! :) xo

Chef Peter was absolutely incredible to work with. He was fully capable of and happily willing to do anything we threw his way. He was very friendly, professional, and willing to go above and beyond what we even asked for him to do. His food was delicious and looked perfect. I would definitely recommend him for anything you could need a chef for!

Fue una experiencia maravillosa, todos lo disfrutamos, fue la primera vez que contrataba un servicio de chef a domicilio y fue novedoso para los invitados, muy rica la comida y las bebidas ni hablar deliciosas y nos sentimos super bien atendidos. Luis es un excelente Chef y un ser humano increíble en su servicio. Gracias.

This was our first experience with a personal chef and it was phenomenal. He was so kind and the perfect balance of polite annd reserved but personal and relatable. His food was perfect. We loved that he focuses on whole, organic food made in a healthy way. We were so impressed. I oils definitely recommend and look forward to another future experience for sure!

Very professional service and tasty food

Teodoro was our chef for our famil

Keith was fantastic! All of our guests raved about the food! He made everything look so easy and had all clean up done. We had a wonderful evening would definitely use him again

Félix fue encantador, profesional y nos deleitó con una fantástica cena. Repetiremos seguro!

Taking a Chef relieves so much pressure that the whole day becomes relaxing and really enjoyable. Add to that the excellently food and presentation - what more could one need.

The Chef was polite and professional. She cooked an amazing authentic Japanese cuisine. Every dish was on point and the portion was generous. I would highly recommend her.

The food was great and the service was awesome

Excelente servicio y muy buena la comida
