Chef Vanesa and Nicolas were absolutely delightful, the food was incredible and the experience was top notch overall. Will be recommending them to all my friends and family for their stays in the Alicante area.

Chef Luis is the best. We enjoyed every meal and looked forward to dinner every night. Definitely recommend him!!

As a team of 9 colleagues, we booked a private dining experience and chose Chef Narendra Sharma and it was absolutely the right decision! From the very beginning, we were impressed by his quick and warm response to our inquiry: We promptly received a detailed menu proposal, accompanied by a very personal and friendly message. This immediately gave us a great feeling. What particularly stood out was how carefully and thoughtfully Chef Narendra Sharma addressed our individual needs, including allergies as well as vegan and vegetarian dietary requirements. Every member of our team felt seen and well taken care of. The meal itself then met and even exceeded all expectations: The food was outstanding in taste, beautifully presented, and left our entire team absolutely delighted. The atmosphere was wonderful and the evening became truly special thanks to his exceptional cooking. We would book Chef Narendra Sharma again without hesitation and recommend him wholeheartedly!

Alex har varit väldigt bra från början till slut. Han var lyhörd på mina önskemål och kom med egna bra förslag på mat och kvällens upplägg. Alex och hans servitör kom i tid och skötte kvällen exemplarisk och maten och presentationen var excellent. Vällagad, fantastiska råvaror och smaker. Jag kan varmt rekommendera Alex. Hälsningar Ulrika med tio väninnor som firade min 40 årsdag.

Chef Jairo did an excellent job, he also brought his coworker that served us the food in an excellent way. The food was fantastic and he also broughtflowers from his garden and decorated the table. A great experience for a chilled bbq evening with the family. Recommend!

Alex Kors made us an unforgettable dinner for my parents 70th birthday. The food was excellent and the service too. I can warmly recommend Alex.

We hired Chef John as a private chef to prepare a 25th‑anniversary dinner at our home — the evening was flawless. John arrived on time, fully equipped and prepared for the dinner. When we received the initial menu option (which was carefully curated with multiple options but just didn't "hit home" for us) - John listened carefully to our preferences and curated a thoughtful, beautifully balanced menu that felt both elegant and personal. Each course was expertly prepared and artfully plated; flavours were harmonious, and the pacing between courses was perfect. Service was professional and warm — Chef John was unobtrusive yet attentive, engaged with us on mindless banter throughout the evening, and handled cleanup seamlessly. It was such an exceptional experience from start to finish that we would 100% do it again. If you want a memorable, restaurant‑quality experience in the comfort of your home, we highly recommend Chef John.

Ana cooked a fantastic meal for our family of six and made the entire evening special. The food was delicious, there was plenty for everyone, and we even had enough leftovers to enjoy for lunch the next day. Ana arrived right on time, was organized and professional, and was a joy to have in the kitchen. Beyond the excellent food, we truly enjoyed spending time with her and getting to know her throughout the evening. The conversation was every bit as memorable as the meal itself. We would absolutely hire Ana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented chef and a wonderful dining experience.

What an awesome experience. Cannot recommend him enough!!!!

Jake was super. His food was well balanced, plentiful and engaging. He was prompt, efficient and an enjoyable chef. My guests absolutely adored him and his food. My favorite meals were the chicken cordon blue, and the various fish dinners. I also enjoyed the various breakfast egg dishes, especially the eggs Benedict! The porridge with fruit was also wonderful. We would like to adopt Jake and bring him to California.

If you are looking for an exceptional culinary experience in Mallorca, look no further than Chef Maruxa. She poured so much hard work and dedication into crafting a phenomenal several-course meal completely from scratch. The food was spectacular, and her hospitality was unmatched. We truly felt like royalty being waited on by her. She started out by serving drinks at our pool and then we sat down for an amazing meal. She also took care of everything, leaving the kitchen perfectly clean. She also left us leftovers that we thoroughly enjoyed the next day. We would love to hire her again next time we are in Mallorca.

Rogerio Bento was amazing! He prepared an incredible celebration meal for six. He curated a memorable meal incorporating dietary needs, personal preferences for a beautiful diner. His pre-dinner communication was outstanding, working with me to plan a fabulous dinner. We can honestly say it was the best meal we had all week in Porto. He brought all the dishes and flatware and printed menus for a beautiful presentation. His calm and kind demeanor added to his cooking skills made our night! He was engaging while maintaining his professionalism. His clean up was outstanding due to being so organized. Can’t recommend him enough!! Will pass his contact info on to anyone visiting Porto!

We booked a private chef experience in Croatia for my partner Ben’s 30th birthday, and it exceeded every expectation. Sanja and Sead were incredible. From the very beginning, the communication was fantastic. Sanja worked with me to create the perfect menu and sent everything well in advance so I could plan the evening. They were incredibly accommodating, allowing me to make adjustments based on Ben’s favourite foods and helping me personalise the entire experience. On the night itself, everything was flawless. The food was absolutely incredible – every course was beautifully presented and restaurant quality (if not better!). We had homemade gnocchi with mushroom sauce, sea bass with vegetables and potatoes, and a delicious truffle panna cotta for dessert. Every dish was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. What really made the evening special was the attention to detail. The chefs also sourced and recommended wines for each course, creating a wine pairing experience that elevated the whole dinner. They explained the wines, the pairings were spot on, and it felt like having a fine dining restaurant brought directly into our villa. The service was professional, friendly, and completely stress-free. They took care of everything, leaving us free to relax and enjoy the evening with our friends. If you’re considering a private chef in Croatia, I couldn’t recommend them more highly. It was one of the highlights of our trip and a birthday celebration we’ll never forget.

Lisa nous a préparé un dîner pour notre anniversaire de mariage. Le dressage de la table était parfait et le repas excellent.

Esperienza oltremodo eccellente: un compleanno indimenticabile! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ho ingaggiato questo fantastico personal chef per fare una sorpresa di compleanno a mia madre, e l'intera serata è stata semplicemente meravigliosa. I motivi per cui lo raccomando a occhi chiusi: Flessibilità e organizzazione: fin dai primi contatti si è dimostrato cordialissimo e super disponibile nel gestire l'effetto sorpresa. Ha ascoltato le nostre preferenze creando un menù su misura altamente ricercato e cucito perfettamente sui nostri gusti. Professionalità in cucina: è stato puntualissimo e ha lavorato in modo estremamente discreto. Ha curato la mise en place nei minimi dettagli e ci ha servito a tavola con una cura e un'attenzione straordinarie. I piatti: semplicemente sublimi. Ogni portata era un'opera d'arte con gusti straordinari, equilibrati e molto ricercati. Una vera esperienza gourmet nel comfort di casa. Pulizia impeccabile: al termine della cena, la cucina è stata lasciata in un ordine e una pulizia davvero straordinari, splendente come se nessuno ci avesse lavorato. È stato un successo sotto tutti i punti di vista. Sicuramente lo richiamerò per altre cene, perché professionisti così attenti e talentuosi fanno davvero la differenza. Grazie per aver reso questa serata così speciale!

A wonderful evening with Chef Nawel, the smoked trout starter was a particular delight but all the food was fantastic

Clients très satisfaits de la prestation

We were not expecting the quality of food and were amazed by her and her staff. Well done!!

Chef Jae was amazing! Everything tasted amazing and looked beautiful. She left the kitchen SPOTLESS at the end 10/10!!

We had the pleasure of having Demaride as our private chef during our family holiday in Puglia, and she created one of the highlights of our trip! After a long day of travelling and delayed flights, it was such a treat to completely switch off and enjoy a wonderful evening together as a family. Demaride has such a warm, friendly presence and immediately made everyone feel relaxed and welcome. The food was outstanding. Everything was fresh, delicious and thoughtfully prepared. I especially loved the deep fried pasta with dips and the wine pairings she recommended. The fish dish was another standout, simple, fresh and full of flavour. You could really taste the quality of the local ingredients. She was incredibly accommodating, setting food aside for family members who arrived late and even preparing a special bolognese for my young nephew. More than just a fantastic chef, Demaride helped turn a stressful travel day into a special family memory. It was one of the few evenings where everyone could simply sit back, relax and enjoy each other's company, and that was such a gift. I would book her again in a heartbeat and have already recommended her to others. If you're visiting Puglia and looking for an authentic, memorable dining experience, I couldn't recommend Demaride more highly!
