FROM JOEL KAMPF: To celebrate my wife’s birthday, Chef Maria and her assistant created an unforgettable meal for twelve of us. The dishes were beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. We asked for specifics (no dairy, Vegan options) and she delivered imaginative dishes that we all wish we had the recipes. They were both lovely to work with and very professional. And note that we travel a lot, have had chefs in the past… and they were top notch. We heartily recommend! PS - We practically fought over the leftovers the next day.

A Chefe Maria Tavares e a sua assistente realizaram um trabalho acima das nossas melhores expectativas. Além da enorme qualidade dos pratos apresentados foram sempre de trato fácil e tiveram uma enorme atenção aos pormenores. Num almoço para 10 pessoas, dos 8 aos 80, pensamos que seria difícil deixar todos completamente satisfeitos, mas tal foi possível e largamente ultrapassado . Desde as entradas de enorme variedade e qualidade, ao prato principal e uma deliciosa sobremesa para terminar, estava tudo prefeito. No final, cozinha e sala deixadas impecáveis, parecia que nada tinha acontecido. O nosso muito obrigado pelo excelente serviço.

Chef Maria provided an incredible meal for the entire family both with the food she cooked and the experience she created! She was very professional with her cooking and cleaned up the place better than she left it. This was the best food we ate in Porto! Additionally she was very easy to communicate with leading up to the dinner. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a private chef experience.

Chef Maria and her wondeful assisant went above and beyond in all aspects. She is truly skilled, talented, and a joy to have as chef. Our dinner party of 8 was blown away by her dishes, and there was a much deserved ovation from all of us. Not only did everything taste PHENOMENAL from start to finish, everything looked beautiful, like straight out of a magazine. She worked so well with what she had and stayed calm and professional even when there were technical/electrical difficulties. On top of a pefect dinner, she left the kitchen clean and tidy. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would hire her full time as personal chef if I could. Thank you Chef Maria, it was an honor to have you as chef! <3

The food and service was outstanding. Fully recommend and would use Maria again.
