Cheffe Laure à domicile, un cadeau de Noël surprise mais quelle surprise ! un rayon de soleil qui nous a émoustillé les papilles avec un menu élaboré de produits de la mer cuisinés de façon créative mais tellement sublime! Une organisation parfaite encore merci Laure pour vos talents

We loved our dinner with Chef Kristin! She was very personable and engaging with our family while also being very professional. She did a great job explaining the ingredients and preparation of each dish which made the experience very special for us. Additionally, the food was absolutely delicious and aligned with the type of menu we had requested. We would highly recommend her services!

We hired a Mateus during our stay in Portugal, and it was one of the best parts of the trip. The food was absolutely incredible - beautifully presented, full of flavour, and made with amazing local ingredients. The whole experience felt effortless, from the seamless service to the spotless kitchen afterwards. It honestly felt like a restaurant quality experience in the comfort of our villa. Would 100% recommend, it made our trip so special.

We had Huckelberry at our house for VERY good meals????Good and tasteful food and sooooo good service ????

Excellent food. Easy to work with. Reliable. Friendly, Unobtrusive.

We hired Chef Alister for a private dining experience during our vacation in St. Thomas and he absolutely exceeded every expectation. The food was incredible — hands down the best oxtail I've ever had, so tender it fell right off the bone. What really stood out was how thoughtful and professional he was: he accommodated all of our allergies without hesitation, was responsive from the very first message, and made the whole experience feel effortless. He was warm, personable, and so sweet with our kids. If you're looking for a personal chef who delivers amazing food and an amazing experience, look no further. We'd book him again in a heartbeat!

Mike and his wife were the absolute best chefs that my 17 friends and family could've asked for! The food was absolutely incredible and better than any fine restaurant that we looked at for my 40th birthday! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Le Chef Matteo nous a régalé avec ses plats à base de poissons et crustacés. Très bon très fin avec beaucoup de saveurs et Matteo est d’une grande gentillesse, joyeux et très professionnel. Sa cuisine et son accent italien sont une vraie invitation aux voyages. Je recommande.

Chef Dylan is a true delight. We hired him for a vegan bachelorette party Y2K-themed dinner at an AirBnB in Lake Arrowhead and he knocked it out of the park with a delicious menu that blew the whole party away. The bride said it was the best meal she's ever eaten. We were very lucky to have Chef Amy make us a delicious matcha tiramisu for dessert that even had Y2K smileys on top. These two went above and beyond. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat. They were fun and made the party so special.

An amazing experience. If you are looking for a chef, she should be your first pick!

Fabio is wonderful. Very engaging and a great chef. He made a dinner for 12 guests as a 90th birthday celebration. The food was delicious. He worked ceaselessly. He was friendly and engaged with all the guests. Highly recommended and I would hire him again without hesitation.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for such an incredible experience. I booked Marius as a surprise for my partner and his three friends, and it couldn’t have gone any better. From the moment I booked, everything felt personal and professional. He created such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, which made the whole evening feel really special. The surprise element was a complete success, and everyone was genuinely impressed. The food was absolutely outstanding — beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly made with attention to detail. Every course exceeded expectations and made the evening feel like a true fine dining experience at home. What really stood out was how he managed everything, allowing them to completely relax and enjoy the occasion. It felt personal, thoughtful, and incredibly well executed from start to finish. Thank you again for helping make the surprise so memorable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a unique and high-quality private dining experience, and I’ll definitely be in touch again in the future.

The dinner was really good in taste & the dishes looked amazing in the outcome and presentation. Pietro is a very nice & professional Chef, very kind and accurate, and very humble. Our experience with him was very positive and remarkable, looking forward to have a new one with him soon

Chef Travis was great! We collaborated on the menu beforehand and he executed perfectly. The food was all delicious and he left the kitchen super clean. A really great experience!

AJ was Great? Food was delicious. Our group of 8 had a great time with AJ cooking for us.

Chef Dennis - Thank you for such an exceptional experience on Sunday. Your food was outstanding, and your professionalism and delivery made the entire evening effortless and memorable. Our guests are still talking about it and we truly appreciate it and hope to work with you again soon!.

Incredible food and service! Everything was scrumptious. The scallops were phenomenal. The Seabass just melt in your mouth. Strawberry tiramisu was an a fresh spring take on tiramisu.

We had an incredible experience with Chef Farid for a private dining event with three families. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism and care. The food quality was outstanding, every dish was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. The service was smooth and well organized, and Chef Farid made the entire evening feel relaxed and enjoyable. His hospitality really stood out, warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We highly recommend Chef Farid for anyone looking to host a private dining experience. It exceeded our expectations in every way.

Chef Morgan is truly unbelievably talented. From start to finish, the experience could not have been better. The quality of the food was absolutely amazing. Every dish was perfectly executed and full of flavor and the presentation was nothing short of incredible. It was clear that every detail was thoughtfully planned and delivered with passion and professionalism. Chef Morgan will be our absolute first choice for any future event, and we will highly recommend him to anyone in need of a chef for any type of occasion. An outstanding experience all around!

Chef Soluna was able to fit us in for a last-minute booking, and we are so grateful he did. We asked for the chef’s special, and he served us beautiful Anatolian comfort food. While the setting and presentation felt like fine dining, the food itself was warm, soulful, and made us feel right at home. The whole experience felt very special, and we would happily recommend Chef Soluna to our friends and family.
