Tanja was amazing, her food, she was quite professional we got her for my partners 40th and we couldn't have made a better choice. Highly recommended and will book her again Thanks again Tanja

Chef Kai is top notch. She delivers a culinary experience like no other. You can not go wrong hiring her for your event. She pays attention to the finest details to ensure your experience is unforgettable.

Une excellente soirée en compagnie de Clément qui a été un chef exceptionnel ! C’était délicieux et il a été parfait dans le respect du briefing. Il est aussi très arrangeant et professionnel. Je recommande les yeux fermés ????

Chef Gio was amazing and we can not wait to hire him again! The food was amazing and the attention to detail was outstanding. Thank you so much Gio

David and his assistant delivered an exemplary service. Far beyond what we had imagined especially as first time users. The food was genuinely incredible. He even managed to convert someone who "hates" seafood to eat a whole plate of it, it was so delicious. He was entertaining, funny but also able to read the room and give me and my guests space to just enjoy the atmosphere. Highly recommended and genuinely trying to find another occasion to have him back again. Thank you for your time and effort!

Ivan was incredible start to finish. Even bringing some of his homemade drinks for us to enjoy and telling us where the fish was caught and when. Really great experience that I highly recommend. A great to end our holiday. The kitchen was cleaner than the day we arrived. Very professional.

Stephanie was excellent from the start. Engaging and so helpful in producing our evening. She was a great chef on the night, all was exactly as she said it would be and she helped us source some excellent local wine - all in all excellent!! Recommend.

Chef Simone was excellent! Delicious local cuisine prepared wonderfully and he was very kind and professional. Would hire him again!

Very ????

Chef Jaime fue increíble, puntual, dedicado, extremadamente profesional e increíble con la preparación de todos los platos. Creó una experiencia inolvidable para una ocasión muy especial, se adaptó a las herramientas y cristalería en el AirBnb donde nos hospedamos, fue atento, nos hizo el favor de comprar la comida de antemano, etc! Todo genial. Fue mi primera vez usando Take a Chef y aunque estaba escéptico al principio, salí sorprendido y amando este servicio. GRACIAS al Chef Jaime por regalarnos un pedazo de su talento innato esa noche.

We had the pleasure of hiring Chef Kyle McIntosh for a special event, and the experience exceeded all expectations. From the very first interaction, he was professional, attentive, and genuinely passionate about creating an exceptional dining experience. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The quality of the ingredients, attention to detail, and creativity in the menu were outstanding. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the food and were impressed by both the flavors and the presentation. Beyond his culinary talent, the chef was a joy to work with—organized, accommodating, and incredibly thoughtful. He took care of every detail, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the occasion. The kitchen was left spotless, and the entire experience felt seamless from start to finish. If you're looking for someone who delivers restaurant-quality cuisine with personalized service and professionalism, I cannot recommend this chef highly enough. He helped make our event truly memorable, and we would gladly book him again in the future. Thank you, Chef Kyle, for an unforgettable experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Chef Kim was an amazing chef! The food was outstanding and he had a great sense of humor. He interacted with our group and made our dinner an unforgettable experience.

Our family hired Chef Nathaniel to help us celebrate a birthday, and he prepared an amazing meal for us! He was accommodating of our dietary needs and easy to work with throughout the entire experience. The menu offered a great variety (we went with Italian food) and every dish had good flavours with generous portions that were larger than what you’d get in a restaurant. Nathaniel was kind, soft-spoken, and professional, and he left the kitchen exceptionally clean. The experience was really seamless and fun and we’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience!

Chef Noel served us an incredible meal that was perfect for our bachelor party - would book again in a heartbeat

We booked Ruwan as our private chef for my mum's 70th birthday, and the whole experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. From my very first enquiry, Ruwan stood out. He sent such a warm and personal message & that was the reason I chose him to cook for our family. Throughout the planning process, his communication was outstanding—he always responded immediately to any questions I had, making everything so easy and stress-free. Ruwan worked with us to create a menu that perfectly suited our family's tastes, and every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and cooked to perfection. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed every course, and there were so many compliments about the food throughout the evening. On the day, Ruwan was professional, friendly, and took care of everything, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy celebrating such a special milestone together. His assistant was absolutely delightful and attentive to our every need, ensuring everything ran seamlessly throughout the evening. They made such a wonderful team. Ruwan left the kitchen spotless and even surprised me with a delicious treat as a thank you for making the booking, which was such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture. Thank you, Ruwan, for helping make my mum's 70th birthday so memorable. Your exceptional food, outstanding communication, attention to detail, genuine kindness, and the wonderful service you and your assistant provided made the evening unforgettable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an exceptional private dining experience.

Fue nuestra experiencia con Alejandro en Take A Chef y repetiremos sin dudarlo! Organizó un menú siguiendo todas nuestras recomendaciones y fue muy fácil montar una cena de celebración con amigas con él. Los platos estban muy bien elaborados y destacaba el producto de primera calidad. Lo que más nos gustó fue el falso "steak" tarter de tomate y el solomillo de cerdo a baja tempoeratura. Durante la cena estuvimos muy a gusto con él y quedó todo muy limpio.

Excelente servicio del Chef, siempre buscando soluciones y brindando un servicio de primera.

Andrew was PHENOMENAL! He was so wonderful to work with as we had a few different allergies/preferences to navigate plus a lot of kids who really weren't going to eat quite like the adults. He easily understood the vibe for our evening and met it above and beyond our expectations. We were able to sit back, relax, and enjoy a perfect evening of catching up with dear friends half way around the world while Andrew took care of everything. By the end of the evening, I'd say he was basically part of our friend group! I highly recommend Andrew, and the Take a Chef service was so easy to work through to find him!

We book Shaun for weekly meal prep, and he has been wonderful from the very first session. The food is genuinely delicious. Each week he prepares a soup, a main, a salad and a dessert, and he rotates the dishes according to the season and what we've been enjoying, so it never gets repetitive. He sends a shopping list in advance, we tell him what we're missing, and he does the grocery shopping himself — always choosing quality ingredients, exactly the kind we would have picked ourselves. He leaves us a few fresh portions and freezes the rest, which we really appreciate. It means we eat well all week with no effort on our side. Beyond the cooking, he is thoughtful in ways we didn't expect. He keeps an eye on small things like baking paper and either reminds us or simply picks them up before they run out. We have a baby at home, and he takes the initiative and figures everything out on his own without ever needing to interrupt us — that has been a real relief. He is kind, approachable and very easy to have in the house. And he leaves the kitchen absolutely spotless. You would never guess anyone had cooked at all. We recommend him wholeheartedly.
