Camila est un chef excellent ! Bravo pour tout ce que vous avez fait pour que ce dîner d’anniversaire soit une réussite. Le dîner était superbe et vous avez un bel avenir devant vous; si nous sommes de passage à Buenos Aires nous ne manquerons pas de vous rappeler et nous espérons que nos amis qui étaient présents au dîner feront aussi appel à vos services.

I highly recommend Chef Alec! He made our annual girls’ trip extra special by cooking for us at our Airbnb. We’re a group of foodies, and he definitely exceeded our expectations! From the delicious appetizers and amazing mushroom soup to the steak with its smoked herb rub and decadent flourless cake, everything was fantastic. He made the evening so much fun and memorable!

The service from Jin was amazing. All the food was delicious the pickled vegetables and bread of the day were crowd pleasers. He was easy to work with and very attentive to detail. Great communication throughout and was very adaptable when our oven decided to stop working on the morning of the event. I would highly recommend Jin.

Chef Martin was incredible. His food was all delicious and we had a brilliant evening as a family. He was extremely accommodating for allergies and had substitutions prepared so everyone at the table could enjoy each dish. He was a brilliant addition to our evening and we would definitely hire him again. He paced the meal very well and the kitchen was cleaner when he left than when he arrived. I highly recommend hiring chef Martin.

Ismael es excelente en todos los sentidos. Muy recomendable

Superbe expérience avec alex pour notre semaine de réunion de famille, à la fin de la semaine, il en faisait presque partie! Au plaisir de te recroiser Alex! ????????????

Everything was amazing - would definitely book again ????

Chef Earth was fantastic, not only was he a great and careful chef who introduced us to a lot of dishes we would not have tried, he had a range of experience in a lot of different nationalities so was easily able to flex to whatever we asked. He always found the freshest food and not only that, he also took time out to be a guide in Thailand, showing us around on multiple days, which was well beyond his job description. Thank you Mon, you were amazing!

We had a wonderful experience with Oleh! He was extremely polite, professional, and attentive throughout the evening. The food was absolutely delicious, from the tuna and shrimp appetizers to the seafood paella for the main course, followed by a lovely lemon tart for dessert. Everything was beautifully prepared and made for a fantastic dining experience. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a special dining experience. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Un immense merci pour cette magnifique soirée Kimberley ! Nous avons passé un moment exceptionnel à l’occasion de l’anniversaire de mon mari. Tout était parfait : la qualité des plats, les saveurs, la présentation et votre gentillesse. Vous avez largement contribué à rendre cette soirée inoubliable. Merci pour votre talent, votre professionnalisme et toutes ces belles attentions. Nous avons été ravis de partager ce moment avec vous et ne manquerons pas de faire à nouveau appel à vos services. Encore un grand merci !

We had chef Romain Mariani to make my 50th dinner. The food was delicious and very nicely presented. Chef Romain was very appreciated by both adults and teenagers. We give our highest recommendation.

Merci chef pour cette très bonne soirée, le repas était excellent et nous avons passé un très bon moment.

Chef Mateus and his team were absolutely professional. From menu engineering, to preparation and presentation simply incredible. I can highly recommend them for such culinary experience.

Isaac was a fantastic addition to my friends’ and my 30th birthday weekend in Marbella, and his dinner was a real highlight of the trip. The food was delicious, with a wide range of dishes that showed genuine technical skill. It was a unique experience for all of us. Having him cook at our villa made it even more special. Producing a meal of that standard in a kitchen he’d never worked in before was seriously impressive. He was also very flexible with our dietary requirements and handled a few last-minute changes without any fuss. Highly recommend. Thank you, Isaac, for making it such a memorable evening for us.

Incredible food. Amazing presentation. 5/5

overall a good experience

We had an Airbnb booked for my wife’s 40th birthday and we had Raffaele and Daniel come on the first night. I couldn’t fault the food, or their serving and prep. Really nice guys, they took care of everything. They fed the kids first and the adults were able to relax while they served us a huge amount of delicious Italian food (anti pasta, ragu, parmas and chocolate brownies) Make sure you are hungry! We had plenty of leftovers for the weekend so we haven’t needed to go to the shops since we got here. 10/10 would recommend Raffaele and I will be booking him again!

Alejandro heeft onze familie een heerlijke avond bezorgd. Vooraf was er goed contact over het menu en de overige afspraken. Ondanks dat het menu vooraf bekend was, waren we aangenaam verrast van wat er op tafel kwam. Wat een heerlijke, verrassende gerechten! De porties waren ruim, we kregen niet alles op. Alejandro legde goed uit wat alles was. Vooraf had hij wijnen doorgegeven die goed bij de gerechten pasten. We hebben een heerlijke, smakelijke, onbezorgde avond gehad. Wij zouden Alejandro zeker aanbevelen!

5++++++ STARS! A once-in-a-lifetime 20th anniversary dinner! I normally don't write reviews, but this experience compelled me to make an exception. We hired Chef Rita to cook for our 20th wedding anniversary, and my husband and I are still recalling each moment. From our very first conversation, it was clear this would be more than a meal. Chef Rita took the time to learn about us, our story, and the dishes we've loved together over two decades, then built an entire menu around our all-time favorites. Every course felt personal. The dishes we've cherished for years were reimagined with such care and creativity that we found ourselves feeling deeply cared for between bites. The little extras, from the thoughtful touches of a bespoke no-cleanup service to the anniversary details we never expected, made the evening feel truly special and unforgettable. Chef Rita is warm, professional, and attentive from start to finish, and the food was absolutely exquisite. We felt celebrated, and that's a rare gift. Thank you, Chef Rita, for making this milestone so memorable. We recommend you with our whole hearts and can't wait to book you again.❤️

An unforgettable private dining experience! My girlfriend surprised me with a private dining experience at our villa for my birthday, and I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better gift. At first, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. After all, inviting someone into your private space is always a bit of an unknown. But from the moment the chef Nikos and his partner arrived, we felt completely at ease. We were staying in a villa with a rather small kitchen, which made it even more impressive to see what they managed to create. Every dish was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and made with exceptional-quality ingredients. As someone familiar with professional kitchens and fine dining, I can confidently say that this chef is a true master of his craft. The attention to detail, the flavours, the presentation; everything was executed to perfection. There was genuinely nothing to fault. Beyond the outstanding food, what made the evening truly special was the hospitality. The chef and his partner were incredibly warm, professional, and pleasant to be around. There is a real art to entering someone else’s home and making them feel completely comfortable, and they mastered that just as effortlessly as the cooking. The wines and cocktails were fantastic and paired beautifully with the meal, making the entire experience feel like fine dining in the comfort of our own villa. We were able to sit back, relax, and enjoy every moment without having to lift a finger. We could enjoy with our newborn and had a relax dinner. And to top it all off, they left the kitchen even cleaner than they found it; everything was tidied away and absolutely spotless! Thank you both once again for such an incredible evening. It was a truly memorable birthday experience, and one we certainly won’t forget anytime soon. We hope our paths cross again someday. Highly, highly recommended!
