Keston was able to squeeze us in for a same day booking and managed to accommodate our menu requests which we were incredibly grateful for. He was punctual, very easy to deal with and we had an amazing range of great tasting dishes and were all well fed with plenty of leftovers for lunch. Thanks again Keston. We would highly recommend to anyone in the Seminyak area.

Food was delicious! Even with some issues with our stove in the villa he was able to prepare our meals which tasted delicious. 10/10 would recommend

Chef Keston took our holiday to a whole other level. Incredibly professional and easy to plan with via WhatsApp. He modified the menu to suit our tastes and desires in the experience. He was very flexible. The food itself was brilliant. During meals he was able to provide stimulating conversation whether about the food or about the local culture. 10/10 would recommend.

Kesten was outstanding. We had a wonderful meal and he was highly professional and engaging.

Best personal chef yet.

Chef Keston was so great, he gave me so many options to choose from and we created a menu that was perfect for our family with kids. He was friendly and fast to communicate and the food was SO GOOD! Will definitely be using him for every trip to Bali!

Chef Keston was incredible! Every meal was delicious, on time, and well thought out. Him and his sous chef were so friendly and gave us plenty of tips about the island. We really enjoyed the food and getting to know them throughout our visit.
