Kelsi was wonderful. She came in and did her thing, we were able to chill and relax at home and didn’t have to do anything. Each meal prepared was delicious and well presented. Kelsi was quiet but personable and very kind, attentive and friendly. We had a great time and will absolutely be using Kelsi and this service again!

Chef Chi is absolutely amazing. I’ve hired private chefs all over the world, Bahamas to Italy and from Mexico to Napa, CA and she quite possibly is the best. Our family of 10 travelled to Vancouver and met Chef Chi. She was so responsive and easy to coordinate meals with. She prepared dinner for us for 5 nights and offered such a wonderful variety of food. Each night was better than the next. From Italian to Korean to French. She gave us menu options and came up with the perfect menu. We chose family style, and every day she arrived on time, dinner was ready exactly at the time we requested and she cleaned up and left everything better than she started. The house we rented was rough and she made it work.We have kids and picky eaters and she made it all work. If highly recommend her.

Chef Giordan did an amazing job for our wedding night dinner. He was able to make modifications based on our allergies and dislikes. The quality of the food he picked was superb. The steak melted in our mouths and the fritters blew our mind especially with his roasted garlic and herb aioli. It was so flavorful and well balanced. Don’t ever skip the focaccia. It was one of the best I ever had. I wish I asked him what he used in the oil blend because it tasted amazing as well. For the main dish we had bone in ribeye steak, whipped potatoes, and asparagus. All of them were amazing. I wish the potatoes had a little bit more flavoring but they were still great none the less. For dessert he made us a cheesecake that was so light and airy along with homemade whipped cream. Over all the food was outstanding. He left behind some leftovers which was so appreciated. He was very professional and left the kitchen cleaner than he found it. His communication pre dinner was also excellent. He checked in on every step of the process. I would book him again!

Chef Timothy was AMAZING!!! His original dishes were delicious and his service was professional and attentive to details. I cannot recommend him enough. Amazing experience.

We had a lovely dinner with Lorenzo! Highly recommended.

Chef Oscar was amazing. The service was excellent he was on time and patient. Presented all the dishes . The food was delicious, ingredients were premium . Presentation amazing and price was fair. Communication was excellent

Chef Felix was excellent. The quality of food along with the amount served was exceptional.

Daniele è stato davvero super! Discreto, professionale e sempre attento a rispettare i nostri tempi, ha gestito alla perfezione il servizio delle portate senza mai essere invadente. Il cibo era davvero ottimo: abbondante, di grande qualità e preparato con cura. Inoltre, si è adattato perfettamente alle nostre esigenze, contribuendo a rendere la serata ancora più piacevole e speciale. Lo consiglio vivamente a chi cerca uno chef privato capace di unire professionalità, flessibilità e cucina eccellente.

C'est simplement excellent

Big Recommendation for Chef Noah! Communication with him was easy and clean, we switched Parts of the Menu until it was Perfect, he was very flexible. Dinner was Perfect and yummy :) Noah was discret and Nice to have around (and his Assistant as well!).

Chef Enrica was awesome from clear communication from the start to execution of her dishes! Very thoughtful with picky children and showed her passion for the craft with the adults! Highly recommend Chef Enrica! Her meatballs were delightful!

Chef Ann was excellent. Her suggested menu was the strongest of all the offers and she delivered! She arrived on time, put up with my crazy family and filled us with delicious food. I have already recommended her to others.

Chef Steve was amazing. So nice and friendly. Himself & he’s wife were on time and did an amazing job. The food was out of this world. We will be using him again. Would highly recommend

Excellent! Super professional and amazing food/service.

Great experience with Chef Albert. Expertly cooked meal, beautiful presentation, fresh ingredients, and impeccable service. Une excellente expérience avec le Chef Albert. Un repas cuisiné avec expertise, une présentation soignée, des ingrédients frais et un service impeccable.

Tanja was amazing, her food, she was quite professional we got her for my partners 40th and we couldn't have made a better choice. Highly recommended and will book her again Thanks again Tanja

Chef Kai is top notch. She delivers a culinary experience like no other. You can not go wrong hiring her for your event. She pays attention to the finest details to ensure your experience is unforgettable.

Une excellente soirée en compagnie de Clément qui a été un chef exceptionnel ! C’était délicieux et il a été parfait dans le respect du briefing. Il est aussi très arrangeant et professionnel. Je recommande les yeux fermés ????

Chef Gio was amazing and we can not wait to hire him again! The food was amazing and the attention to detail was outstanding. Thank you so much Gio

David and his assistant delivered an exemplary service. Far beyond what we had imagined especially as first time users. The food was genuinely incredible. He even managed to convert someone who "hates" seafood to eat a whole plate of it, it was so delicious. He was entertaining, funny but also able to read the room and give me and my guests space to just enjoy the atmosphere. Highly recommended and genuinely trying to find another occasion to have him back again. Thank you for your time and effort!
