Chef Emmanuel was wonderful! He was professional, talented at his craft, and provided a fantastic experience and meal. Having him cook for us was a nice change of pace from eating in restaurants and gave us an opportunity to enjoy a dinner at our vacation home. We would absolutely recommend Chef Emmanuel and Take-a-Chef to others traveling to the French Riviera.

Emmanuel was punctual, polite, and flexible. He is an amazing chef and we would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a delicious, intimate meal in the comfort of their own home. The menu was thoughtfully put together and filling and he left our kitchen even better than he found it.

A fantastic dinner experience! Emmanuel is a very talented chef.

We had a lovely evening! The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The chef was punctual, tidy and very polite. I would definitely recommend and look forward to our next meal!
