Amazing experience!!! John was great! Food was amazing!!

Superbe soirée entre amis accompagné pour les supers préparations de Perrine !

Very professional chef, lovely food and very accommodating, would definitely recommend.

Guilherme is a wonder! So charming and engaging, he prepared an outstanding meal for us. Everything from the amuse bouche to the desert was a taste sensation. We learned about the nuance of each dish, and he answered all our questions about preparation. Both he and his waiter Antoine were a joy to have in our home and were very sweet to our little dog as well. I would highly recommend him!

Chef Santiago was truly superb. We asked for a "surprise" menu and got just that: a collection of his favourite dishes. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is thinking of throwing their own event.

We highly recommend Chef Anniel. She made my wife’s 50th birthday very special. She loved it. And my kids loved the food too. She was also very communicative throughout the Take A Chef process.

From the very beginning, I knew I could trust Chef Elena with our corporate event for 50 people. She was very reliable, easy going and her great communication from start to finish made this experience seamless and stress-free. Chef Elena and her team are dedicated culinary professionals with a passion for crafting exquisite dishes using fresh, seasonal ingredients. Committed to creating visually stunning plates, understanding that the dining experience begins with the eyes. Tailoring menus to individual tastes while offering the option of well-curated set menus for incredible dining experience. Strives to provide clients with a unique and memorable culinary journey. A real pleasure to work with.

Chef Manu was incredible. He was communicative, punctual, friendly, and most importantly, an amazing chef! He made our trip very memorable. Don’t hesitate to hire him for your next special occasion!

A creative, flexible service from a clearly veteran chef that my family agreed helped make the evening particularly special. Would thoroughly recommend.

Didac is a fantastic chef! He created a very good menu and took into account that my wife is vegetarian and breast feeding. We were very happy with the selection of food and how it was combined to something special. I can truly recommend Didac as a chef. :-)

Une superbe expérience culinaire. Des plats soignés, très bien élaborés et délicieux. A refaire. Merci Chef.

Paul was a great chef for the night! He was responsive and kind. He answered questions thoughtfully and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend.

Chef Thiago was one of the most dedicated and awesome chefs I've had the chance to hire. He is extremely fun and very easy going. The food was delicious, well prepared and presented beautifully. I would highly recommend Chef Thiago to anyone that has a special event or a night in for a fantastic private chef experience!

Amalya and her partner were amazing. Had the Thai dinner menu it was a great experience trying something new. However her Italian lunch menu was phenomenal! There were no leftover after that. Her bruschetta i could eat for every meal everyday it was awesome. Highly highly recommend her !

We booked Mehmet for a private dinner and from the very first conversation, everything felt easy and reassuring. Communication was clear, friendly, and professional, and he really listened to what we wanted instead of pushing a fixed menu. We discussed preferences, timing, and the general flow of the evening in advance, and it was obvious that he put real thought into the planning. On the day of the dinner, Mehmet arrived on time, calm and well prepared. The kitchen stayed organized throughout the evening, and the atmosphere never felt rushed or chaotic. The timing between courses was excellent — we could enjoy each dish properly without long waits or pressure to move on too quickly. The food itself was delicious and very well balanced. The ingredients tasted fresh, the seasoning was spot on, and everything felt light but still satisfying. Portions were generous, and what we especially appreciated was that Mehmet had brought extra food, which showed great care and generosity. Nothing felt calculated or minimal it felt like he genuinely wanted us to enjoy the evening fully. The service was discreet and professional, without being stiff. Mehmet was present when needed but never intrusive. At the end of the dinner, the kitchen was left clean and tidy, which made the whole experience even more pleasant and stress-free. Overall, this was a very smooth, well-organized, and enjoyable private chef experience. We were extremely happy with both the food and the way the evening was handled and would gladly book Mehmet again for another special occasion. Highly recommended.

J'ai fait appel à ce chef pour fêter les 10 ans de vie commune avec ma femme. Excellente expérience que ce soit le professionnalisme, le goût des plats ou encore l'aimabilité du chef. L'expérience a été excellente je recommande.

Catalina did an amazing job in catering for my 30th birthday. Her food was super taste full and very nice presented. Defo my recommendation for the south of Spain!!

Pasquale was AMAZING! He truly went above and beyond for my dinner. Thank you!

Chef Kerroy was excellent from beginning to end. Consistently going the extra mile and very professional throughout the whole experience. He adjusted the menu a couple times to accommodate our needs and brought all of his own equipment. Would highly recommend.

Chef David was great to work with from the very start! Sent multiple menu options and allowed for choices on each course. We had a large group (12) and he managed to serve all of us cook to order filet duos seamlessly. He was friendly and the whole experience was stress free for us as hosts. The guests had an amazing time, and he left the kitchen spotless at the end. Highly recommend!
