I can absolutely recommend Chef Adrien. The organising of the menu was made very easy. The quality of the food and service was perfect. We will definitely be having him again

We hired Chef Tye to make a special 50th anniversary dinner for us and our children and grandson, and the meal and presentation were outstanding! From the get-go, Chef Tye was professional, prompt in responding, and very open to our ideas. He devised a fantastic menu: lobster bisque, poached pear salad, Mediterranean style rack of lamb, and brioche bread pudding with chocolate and caramel. He arrived at the house promptly and was a delight to be with - very personable yet also giving us space and time to ourselves. The food was truly outstanding, and he left the kitchen and dining room entirely clean and put back together. He paid attention to details that really enhanced the meal, like giving each of us a printed menu, introducing each dish when he served it, opening and pouring wine, wrapping leftovers in containers that he brought. I highly recommend Chef Tye!

Chef Charles was really lovely and prepared some fantastic dishes. He and his partner did an amazing job preparing tapas for 22 people. I highly recommend him.

Amazing chef: he was punctual, discreet, polite and super helpful, and food was truly exceptional. 100% recommend.

Our experience with Chef Wade was everything we hoped for, great food and a personality to match! Thanks again Chef!

We look always look forward to Chef Calvin's culinary experience. We enjoy all the adventurous, creative mouth watering dishes. He is a passionate chef, genuine kind and humorous person who our family has grown to really like. Thank you Calvin it was a wonderful festive culinary adventure!

MIKE is great :) He did an incredible job with limited facilities in our house. I would definitely recommend him :)

From the onset Chef Araceli was the first to respond and consistently communicative throughout. She provided us with an incredibly personal experience in which she made a new potentially awkward experience in a very friendly and personable manner. She was a great help to me for an important life event and I highly recommend the experience.

WOW. Where to begin?? We had Chef Tye prepare a special holiday dinner for our family, and he was amazing in every way. Immediately apparent was the fact that he was friendly and easy to talk to, without being in any way intrusive. Then there was his attention to detail — fun surprises like menus on the table and French onion soup served in large individual onions! Finally, there was the food which was exceptional. (My kids even ate the salad!) Initially, my mother was quite nervous about handing over her kitchen to someone else, but after our experience, she’s ready to have Chef Tye move in!! Heartily recommend!!!!

Chef Alexander and his team gave us a wonderful dining experience! From start to finish they were all very professional and attentive to our requests! They were all very friendly and the food was great too! Would definitely recommended their services!

Le chef a cuisiné pour notre déjeuner de mariage et nous en sommes très contents. Les plats étaient très bons. Nous n’hésiterons pas à repasser par lui si nous avons besoin d’organiser un repas

Lara hat alle Erwartungen übertroffen. Sie kocht total leckere Speisen, die wunderbar präsentiert sind, und ist dabei hoch professionell und bescheiden in ihrem Auftreten. Und sie ist einfach total nett. Eigentlich wollte ich für den Geburtstag meiner Partnerin in ein Restaurant. Nun bin ich sehr froh, dass viele Restaurants geschlossen hatten und ich mich für Lara entschieden habe. Sie hat in unseren eigenen vier Wänden geschafft, was ein Restaurant niemals hätte erreichen können. Jeder Zweifel, den ich im Vorfeld hatte, weil ich noch nie TakeaChef genutzt hatte, war unbegründet. Ich kann ein Menü von Lara uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen und hoffe, dass sich bald die Gelegenheit für ein weiteres ergibt.

Chef Alessandro's menu was fabulous. Everything was very tasty including the vegan menu he did for one person in our group. He as very friendly and professional. We highly recommend him and would use him again if we are back in this area.

Wocholas Liew provided us with an incredible experience and meal for our Mum’s 80th birthday. He was a delight to deal with, excellent communication, arrived as planned, cooked, presented and served (with an assistant) an absolutely delicious meal, and left the kitchen spotlessly clean. We could not have asked for more from this experience - thank you!

It was a pleasure to have Chef Vic cater for our special birthday celebration. He was punctual, had great communication before the dinner, polite, good attention to detail and the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend.

All around Fantastic experience! We were on a family ski trip in Haute-Nendaz and the chef prepare a fantastic dinner for 10! The communication prior to the dinner was great. He showed up on time, was very friendly and prepare us a beautiful and delicious four course meal. It started right on time, was presented beautifully and he cleaned up nicely. All around great experience and would recommend him!!

He was very accommodating., fun and very professional. The food was amazing. We wanted to take him home with us

Chef Derrick was absolutely amazing to work with! I am so glad I found him last minute for my clients>

Chef Alice was great with delicious food and prompt service. We always enjoy using Takeachef for its excellent customer service and quality.

Chef Yasuda was incredibly professional and well-prepared throughout the evening. The menu was thoughtfully curated, and each dish was beautifully presented. Chef Yasuda’s attention to detail and organization stood out, and he made sure to leave the kitchen spotless, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you, Chef Yasuda, for the effort you put into our special occasion.
