Absolutely loved working with Chef Elyse! Pleasure to work with up front. Very engaging and proactive. Tons of good ideas and was even willing to listen to some of mine! My guests were blown away by the entire experience. And especially all the tasty food. I give Elyse my warmest recommendation. Very professional and 100% reliable. Also, great sense of humor. She fit right in with our rowdy group!

¡Una experiencia excelente de principio a fin! Contratamos el servicio de chef privado durante nuestra estadía en Mendoza y realmente superó nuestras expectativas. Desde el primer momento, la atención y predisposición fueron impecables. Se ocupó de todos los detalles, desde las compras de bebidas hasta la organización de cada comida, adaptándose siempre a nuestros horarios e incluso a los cambios de último momento. Uno de los momentos más especiales fue la celebración de nuestros 10 años de casados, para la que nos preparó una mesa hermosa, cuidando cada detalle y haciendo que ese día fuera aún más especial. Destacamos no solo la calidad de la comida, sino también la calidez, el compromiso y la dedicación con la que nos atendió. Fue un placer contar con su servicio. ¡Lo recomendamos muchísimo y sin dudas volveríamos a elegirlo!

This chef was amazing.. breakfast and dinner was amazing, we loved all of his dishes.

Gensies was professional on time and food was amazing!

Jason was a great chef. Food amazing and he was very professional and personable.

Excelente sabor y presentación. Muy atento y flexible para adaptarse a algunas variables de la cocina/lugar de trabajo.

Chef Alexandre did an amazing job creating appetizers and a 3 course meal for our party of 13. We were celebrating a milestone birthday and he did an outstanding job creating a memorable and special meal. The appetizers were passed (he brought a butler with him) and were a great way to begin our evening along with champagne. The meal was delicious and well paced. The entree was sea bass and was wonderfully prepared. We concluded the evening with a beautiful chocolate cake from a local bakery. So glad Chef Alexandre was available to wow us with his cooking talent.

Exceptional chef and person. Loved his cooking masterpieces! I would recommend Damien to anyone who wants to have amazing food! Super easy to work and very detailed oriented when it comes to accommodations of different dietary preferences.

Chef Marius was enthousiast, gepassioneerd en heeft hele lekkere gerechten gemaakt. Vooral de champignons, de biefstuk en de toetjes waren heerlijk! Ook de kaasplank was heel erg groot! Marius vertelde vol passie over zijn werk, ervaringen en samenwerkingen. Je kon zien dat hij heel veel plezier heeft in zijn werk! We waren om half 5 met het voorgerecht gestart en om half 7 was de keuken spik en span gepoetst. Wat ons betreft had het meer avondvullend mogen zijn en had er meer tijd tussen de gerechten mogen zitten. Maar dat is dan ook het enige dat we kunnen opmerken. Hele goede ervaring dus!

I wanted to surprise my daughter and son-in-law for their first year wedding anniversary. I received a proposal from chef Layla with a couple of options to choose from. Her menu choices were incredible. You can tell she took great care in considering the dietary requirements needed. I was very grateful for that. Chef Layla was very responsive and kind when emailing me. She arrived on time and was kind, cheerful, warm and friendly. She immediately felt like family. Her dishes and presentation were exceptional! Including her in our surprise was the best choice possible! My son-in-law said it was the best steak he's ever had. It melted in his mouth. The crème brûlée was phenomenal! You can tell she put a lot of love and care into her dishes. They loved EVERY dish!! I highly recommend chef Layla for your event! I'm looking for a reason to hire her again! ☺️

Excelente! Ficamos muito satisfeitos!!! Recomendo fortemente!!!

Francesco cooked a wonderful meal for nine of us, truly amazing.

Esperienza davvero fantastica! Ivan è stato bravissimo: gentile, professionale e soprattutto molto attento a tutte le nostre esigenze, dall’inizio alla fine. Il menù era davvero pazzesco, con una cucina curata e soprattutto buonissima. Si vede la passione e l’attenzione che mette in quello che fa. Anche la pulizia è stata impeccabile, cosa che ho apprezzato tantissimo. In generale è stata un’esperienza super piacevole, ben organizzata e oltre le aspettative. Assolutamente consigliato!

Chef Fabian was incredible, and we were blown away! Our Vrbo turned out to have no oven, but through some kind of magic, he prepared a five-course meal on just two burners. The food was to die for. I can't pick a favorite because every dish was packed with flavor. Each plate was beautifully presented and full of color. He turned our little cottage into a romantic setting and was so polite and charming the whole afternoon. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Chef Sergey. The food was exceptional, beautifully prepared and presented, and every dish on the menu we had planned was executed perfectly. The oysters and lobster sashimi were delicious, the steak was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, and the cannelloni was fabulous and a big hit with the children. Every course was thoughtfully prepared and plated, and the entire meal exceeded our expectations. Beyond the food, Sergey was an absolute pleasure to have with us. We were away at an event when he started cooking, and he was incredibly independent and organised, finding everything he needed and having everything beautifully prepared for our return. He was also extremely accommodating of all our requests and made sure everyone was well catered for. What really made the evening special was his wonderful sense of hospitality. He was friendly, engaging and interactive throughout dinner, taking the time to explain the dishes and share where the ingredients came from. He also had a fantastic instinct for knowing when to interact with the guests and when to step back and give us space to enjoy our evening. It was the perfect balance and made the experience feel very natural and personal. He was also lovely with the children, making them feel included and even showing our child how to cook a steak. To top it all off, he cleaned up everything afterwards and left the kitchen absolutely spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Chef Sergey went above and beyond and played a huge part in making our evening truly special and unforgettable. We would recommend him without hesitation!

Tuvimos el placer de contar con el chef Félix para un evento familiar y el resultado fue absolutamente impecable. Quiero destacar su fantástico trato y el de su ayudante Marián, así como la excelencia y el cuidado que demostraron en cada una de sus elaboraciones. Solo me queda expresar mi más sincero agradecimiento por su impecable profesionalidad; fue una velada memorable que, sin duda alguna, repetiremos.

Les plats étaient vraiment très bon, nous avons tous aimé et le chef était sympathique Je recommande

I hired Chef Alex for my wife's birthday dinner. He made the entire process very smooth. He was prompt at answering my questions leading up to the dinner and even helped pick the menu. He was on time the day of the dinner. Courses were served perfectly so we didn't feel rushed but there also was not a long wait. Food was well cooked and presented. He was engaging with our group and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely use him again for a future dinner.

Brenden was fantastic. He gave us a few options to choose from and everything was amazing! Our vision was to have a fun and casual family dinner - with great food and low stress. He accomplished everything. Very personable and spoke to all of us - down to earth, interesting and happy to answer any questions. I would highly recommend him to anyone. thanks!

Chef Marta was nothing short of incredible! She was extremely professional, accommodating, and created the most delicious meal we had while in Spain. We loved our experience with her and would love to work with her again in the future. Thank you Chef Marta for making our wedding dinner so lovely!
