Our chosen chef, Arnaud Cometti, was very important in helping to make our anniversary dinner unforgettable. First of all, the menu that he created for us was perfect. Then the food was amazing and the presentation and attention to detail were first class. He tailored the timing of each course to suit us throughout the evening and we never felt rushed nor had to wait.

We had an amazing experience! The food was incredible and the chef went above and beyond!

We had an incredible experience with Chef Arnaud Cometti. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented—every dish looked like it belonged in a fine dining restaurant. He took the time to explain each course, which made the evening feel even more special. Chef Arnaud was professional, friendly, and created such a relaxed atmosphere. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend him for anyone looking for an exceptional private chef experience!

Chef Arnauld was fabulous. His cooking skills were amazing. Im recommending him to our friends. He was talkative and very friendly and polite. He even made friends with our dog who doesn't like people.

The chef made my birthday truly special. Everything was beautiful—the presentation, the attention to detail, and the overall experience. The food was delicious, full of flavor, and perfectly prepared. My guests were impressed and I was beyond happy. Thank you for creating such a memorable evening and making everything flawless. Highly recommended!

Arnaud is charming, he made us feel special and the food was a delight. He accommodated our gluten and lactose free requirements and he did it deliciously. Highly recommend.

Arnaud was professional and the food was amazing. I hired Arnaud for my husband’s birthday and he did not disappoint. My husband is hard to please and Arnaud exceeded his expectations. We will be using his services again only requesting Arnaud.

Chef Arnaud gave us our first experience hiring a private chef, and he was great! The food was delicious, and he presented all the courses with great timing between them. We are looking forward to using him again!

Chef Arnaud was a pleasure! His care, attention and presentation were second to none. And the dishes he prepared were thoughtful and delicious. It was a wonderful experience that we plan to repeat!

He was punctual and professional and wowed the birthday boy with his amazing dishes. The menu was modified for a gluten free and dairy free diet which we appreciated on such short notice. This whole experience was so easy to book and execute. We would definitely do it again for more people next time.

The chef I hired for my brother's 50th birthday was punctual, organized and very social. He said the meal was how the true french do it...classy. And classy he was. His dishes were presented beautifully and the flavours were impecable. Overall, we would give him a 10 out of 10 and definitely recommend him to friends and colleagues. Thanks so much for providing my brother and his friends this unique experience!

Arnaud was everything you would hope,expect and want in a private chef. Pleasent, attentive, polite, respectful and most of all a master of his craft. Thank you for making our anniversary dinner special.

Hey Chef Arnaud! I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful afternoon. Jacob and I thoroughly enjoyed every dish. It was tasty and satisfying. Thank you for traveling so far so make the day special for us. Wishing you a lovely rest of your summer!

What an incredible and memorable meal, evening and experience Chef Arnaud created for us. The presentation of each course was stunning, the flavours were wonderful and I’m still dreaming about many of his sauces and reductions! I highly recommend Chef Arnaud, not only was I so happy with the entire experience, all my guests enjoyed themselves and every single course!

Chef Arnaud was extremely polite and friendly. His dishes were delicious and beautiful served. He cleaned everything up. What a great experience!

Chef Arnaud provided exactly the experience we could have hoped for. He’s a brilliant chef, very professional and very pleasant. And the cuisine was perfect ????. What a lovely evening.

Our chef Arnaud Cometti provided our small group with wonderful food, pleasant conversation and an overall satisfying evening. I have nothing but good things to say about this man. We were more than pleased; other clients looking for a French chef should place Arnaud at the top of their list. Thank you to Take a Chef and our chef for providing a memorable occasion.

Chef was amazing and food was delicious! We would definitely book with him again.

Chef Arnaud was fantastic. He brought everything he needed and put together a full 4-course meal in our small Airbnb kitchen like we were at a gourmet restaurant — in the privacy and comfort of our own place! He got right to work, paced everything just right, and was cleaned up in a jiff. The food tasted amazing. We’ve never had a charcuterie so delicious you could eat as a meal. Then we had salmon tartare, beef and lobster for main course, and chocolate and praline cakes. He even set up dessert to sing happy birthday to my wife. Couldn’t recommend him enough. If you are in the Niagara Falls area and are looking for a unique quality experience without having to go out to a restaurant (or even better than going out to a restaurant), definitely contact Chef Arnaud. He is prompt and professional in communicating, makes it very easy to coordinate. You will not be disappointed.

Arnauld created a great experience for my wife's birthday dinner. He was very communicative prior to coming, and was very flexible with menu options. His dishes were carefully presented, tasted amazing, and he worked flawlessly in our home. Arnauld was super friendly and would recommend him for any private party or event. Thank you Arnauld!
