I booked this experience as a surprise for my boyfriend who loves to cook, and he really appreciated speaking to such a professional chef! We decided to go with the Caribbean menu, and it truly exceeded our expectations. We even had some left overs for the next day! If you’re thinking about booking this, don’t hesitate! His passion for flavor knows no borders (:

Edgar was great, and the presentation was beautiful. He did a special birthday son and candle for my husbands birthday it was great! I wish we could have tried the dinner as well. I would definitely eat with him again.

Edgar is the best private chef that there is. He made delicious Caribbean food with great hospitality and a smiling face. We hired a Chef for my 30th birthday and the attire theme was all black which he had no problem with accommodating for. Thank you so much again; definitely book Edgar!

"We had the most extraordinary birthday celebration Celebrating our shared birthday in the Dominican Republic was made truly special right in our Airbnb. From the moment we arrived, he treated us to a feast fit for royalty. The ceviche appetizer was fresh and flavorful, setting the perfect tone for the evening. The salmon and risotto entree was a masterpiece, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. And the chocolate cake dessert, complete with sparkling candles, was the sweetest ending to our perfect meal. Not only impressed us with his culinary skills but also with his attention to detail and warm hospitality. It was clear that he put his heart into every dish, ensuring that our birthday dinner was an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in the Dominican Republic. Thank you, Chef for making our birthday celebration truly magical!"

The communication upon booking was excellent! Chef Edgar was able to adjust for a guest that had special dietary requests. He was flexible upon a last minute guest cancellation and ensured an extra surprise for the my friend on her Birthday (a lovely cake with sparklers)! The ladies and I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and the food was perfection. Chef was attentive throughout the experience and I will recommend him again to all my friends visiting Punta Cana. Don’t hesitate to book with Chef Edgar, he curated an amazing experience and the food was divine.

We had an amazing experience with amazing food! This chef took care of everything for us and was absolutely amazing as making sure he cleaned as he went! We used him the first night, and it was lovely to be able to settle in and not have to worry about dinner and felt so lovely to just feel taken care of! He was very polite and kind mannered! Thank you so much for a lovely time.

A very great chef with fantastic food and has a great personality and humor as welll. Would recommend him again especially because of the taste of his food.

Edgar was extremely nice and food was very good. He was on time, cooked fast & cleans up well after himself. I will book him anytime I am in Punta Cana.

I booked chef Edgar for my friend birthday dinner and it went amazing. The chefs were on time and also were sharing stories with us while cooking which was nice. I asked chef Edgar if he could do something special for my friend and he went above and beyond for desert and I really appreciated it. They cook and cleaned up and everything was amazing from the service all the way down to the food. Chef Edgar also accommodates for any food allergies and etc. and informs you what’s in the ingredients. The chefs were amazing and I really appreciated everything along with my friend. This is my second time booking with Take A Chef but in a different country and they never disappoint me. Thank you very much! Highly recommend it!

The food was absolutely amazing and delicious. Would definitely recommend!

Love love love!

Dinner was excellent! The Caribbean ceviche was the best I’ve ever had. Chef was very sweet and the timing was very efficient.

This was my first private chef experience and it was absolutely amazing! We scheduled this for my birthday trip. Chef Edgar arrived early and had dinner ready right on time. The three-course meal was absolutely delicious - the best ceviche I’ve ever had. He brought a birthday cake and sparkler which added some extra fun and left the kitchen spotless. Highly recommend this experience!!!

Idk where to begin .. from start to finish Chef Edgar was simply amazing. I booked Chef Edgar for a birthday brunch for my girlfriend and she loved every second of it. He’s prompt .. communicates with you every step of the way .. and cleans up once the dining experience has been completed. Our mothers called and he was friendly to them as well. I wanted to add smoked salmon and avocado toast to the menu and Chef Edgar was able to add it no problem. 10/5 stars. I would HIGHLY recommend this experience to add a personal touch to your vacation.

Amazing experience! Edgardo was prompt, he actually arrived early which was great. He immediately jumped into prepping and cooking up our delicious breakfast spread. He was easy to communicate with beforehand, super attentive and even helped out with bringing a bday cake that I requested. He left the kitchen spotless and was overall super pleasant. We really enjoyed this experience from start to finish and would highly recommend his services.

Arrived promptly! Everything was delicious which was unexpected because the menu selection was not what I am used to. What u loved was that we were served and he brought a sparkler candle for banana pudding. It was my birthday so that made it extra special.

Excelente experiencia, Edgardo es un chef magnífico. La comida deliciosas y las porciones muy bien servidas, ese bizcocho de chocolate vivirá siempre en mis recuerdos, súper recomendable!!!

If you are in the Dominican and want to a private chef experience EDGARDO is the chef for you. We booked a private dinner in our Punta Cana condo for 10 people. We selected the Caribbean meal with minor modifications and he was so accommodating. Communication up the the event was great, setup/clean up was great but what was AMAZING was his food!! Show up hungry because you will eat every last bite.

We enjoyed 6 incredible days with Edgar and he delivered throughout. He made customary dishes from his native country as well as catered to our very picky children. Would recommend 10.10

Chef Edgar did an amazing job. We had the Argentinian dinner for 3, it was excellent. Presentation was beautiful. He was punctual, clean, friendly, and we felt very comfortable. We will definitely book him again.
