This is an amazing experience. The chefs are excellent at creating a menu that both highlights the local ingredients and elevating the dining experience into something magical. They incorporated our family into the cooking process while also allowing us space to enjoy a truly private and amazing dining experience. This was our Thanksgiving dinner and it was the best meal we had as a family in Costa Rica and we would absolutely do it again. Worth every colone or dollar and honestly they should charge more!

Daphinie was an amazing chef. Her company and food were stellar and beyond compare. I cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience she provided for us as our chef for the evening. Our time together was over too soon!

Daphinie and her mother came to our Air BnB to prepare and make dinner for my girlfriend and I to celebrate her birthday. Daphinie brought all cooking tools needed and made herself at home within the kitchen. The French onion soup was incredible. The tri-ravioli could have been warmer as I felt as they may have been sitting for a while, but had great flavour. And lastly the Tirimisu desert was incredible. Lots was prepped before hand to allow Daphinie to cook, clean and serve all 3 courses for the 2 of us in under an hour. Our own air bnb’s plates and cutlery were used for the main, but hers used for App & Dessert. I feel the experience could be elevated slightly with some cloth napkins, candles, and a complimentary bottle of wine. However not having these things didn’t take away from the experience. Daphinie was very kind to remember the birthday and bring candles and sing happy birthday even those I had booked many months prior. Overall great experience and would recommend

Amazing experience! Chef Diego is so sweet! Food was delicious ! I still think about the carne asada????????

Delicious meal with Chef Alex and team! Thank you for bringing us the flavors of Oaxaca, would definitely dine with you again

Loved the multi-courses of fresh & delicious food prepared for our last night in CDMX. It was so nice to relax and have everything taken care of for us, including clean up. Definitely recommend and can’t wait to do this in other cities!

Having Alberto was an amazing experience. We celebrate Thanksgiving at our house with both my husband and I cooking for our family. We wondered whether having a chef cook for us in Cancun would be as warm and special as we always try to do. Alberto and his mother became our "family" host. They cooked for us a truly Mexican meal. With each entree, Alberto would explain how it was done and what made it special. But Alberto went beyond expected. He knew that we were in Cancun to celebrate the marriage of our son. Alberto made sure to celebrate their union. Five stars is not high enough. We would him 10 stars. Thank you so much.

Was a lovely lunch had fun xxx

What a memorable evening! The food, the presentation, the company were all absolutely incredible. The tapas menu was the perfect taste of Portugal.

Nathalia was such a sweet person and great hospitality! She took very great care of us while we were here and we highly appreciate her for it! We would definitely come back for her!

It was great. She made great food for my group. I would re-book.

I decided to book Nathalia for dinner & everything was so amazinggg. My partner & I choose the Colombia dinner for our menu. We tried shrimp empanadas, Beef tenderloin, & cheesecake for dessert. We cleared our plates!!!????What impressed me the most was for the appetizers she made her own guacamole & sour cream. It was so delicious!!! Would definitely book again. It was so nice that she spoke English as well. Thank you so much Nathalia for such an amazing private chef experience!❤️✨

Chef Natalia was amazing and the food was even better than expected wonderful experience

Beautiful work, we all loved the food!

Chef Pablo hosted a beautiful dinner for my friends and I. The meal was thoughtfully put together, with all fresh ingredients! Each dish was a stand out in its own way. All 4 courses had a story and the flavors to back them up. Really special and memorable experience. 10/10!

Pablo was amazing! What a wonderful experience!

This experience was amazing! We loved being able to relax and enjoy our guests and have a five star meal without worrying about cooking or cleaning. The food was delicious and the chef went above and beyond to make our experience special.

Thiago is incredibly kind and welcoming. We loved how he took the time to explain each dish and shared details about where the ingredients came from. The experience goes far beyond the delicious food—it’s truly unforgettable!

Amazing dinner with Thiago! Absolutely everything about it the dishes the food was amazing and Thiago shared us many interesting stories behind the dishes and about Rio!

Thiago is an incredible chef! The food was absolutely delicious, with portions that left everyone satisfied. He went above and beyond by working with us to provide excellent wine pairings, which elevated the experience even further. Thiago was attentive, responsive, and made sure everything was perfect. It was a truly memorable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and delightful dining event!
