Chef Miguel was absolutely amazing in every way!!! The menu was crafted perfectly to our wishes, everything was made from scratch, and food was out of this world delicious!!! And SOOO much food!! An incredible professional, and just an all-around nice person. Presentation and clean up was perfect. We will never forget this experience, and so grateful to have had this master chef prepare such a beautiful meal in our home. Thank you Chef Miguel!!!

I wanted to hire a private chef for my boyfriend 25 birthday. I was flying in from Florida to Dominican Republic and I wanted to hire someone who was credible and professional. Chef Perla exceeded all of my expectations! We stayed in communication with each other before I got to DR, I asked her for her social media to see some of her work and she provided that to me, she made me feel confident with my choice. She was able to modify the menu to accommodate my choices, she was very detail oriented. The food was delicious, the flavors were outstanding and everything was fresh. She even made a special cake surprise for my boyfriend along with souvenir gifts. Overall I would definitely recommend Chef Perla to everyone!!!

It was such a great vibe. Would recommend them for any occasion. Love their punctuality and professionalism. 10 stars for sure

The whole experience was amazing!

We had an amazing experience with help of chef Rouba at our celebrationdinner - staying with family at a castle just outside Beauvais. Delicous food presented in a modern way. Rouba is very friendly and easy to communicate with. We would highly recommend hiring her as a private chef.

Regina provided an excellent service, together with her assistant Sarah. Communication went very smooth. Food/wine combination was spot on. I would definitely recommend her.

Chef Henry was awesome! He had a good team/waitress every night. I wanted a low carb, high protein meal and he fully delivered with an Argentinian bbq and he even showed us some nice seafood dishes that we weren’t sure we would end up liking but ended up loving! Would recommend for sure! Thanks Chef :)

Chef Alex made the most incredible meal for my group! He is definitely a master of French cooking, everything we ate tasted more elevated than we anything we had before. Chef Alex was absolutely great, we would highly recommend his services!

Chef Federico tailored the menu around our group’s specific needs including vegan and non- vegan members. The food was plentiful and delicious, served beautifully at a leisurely pace. I would recommend Chef Frederico.

Chef Ru was excellent. From the minute I spoke to her the first time she was very professional, calm and a really pleasant person. Her cooking was out of this world. She only used the best ingredients. The presentation was something out of a 5 star restaurant. Her attention to detail was something I have never experienced before, printed menus with my husbands name on it, took the plates back, left my kitchen super clean and was on time with all her dishes. I will highly recommend Chef Ru and will make use of her services in the near future.

Chey Panayiotis was amazing. The perfect way to celebrate my wife’s 35th birthday with an extra special celebration.

Ótimo chefe, altamente recomendo.

Chef Bryan’s dishes went behind our expectations. We photographed each dish because they were pieces of art. We had French themed dishes but I’m sure he can cook anything. Coming into a new kitchen and cooking for strangers must be hard, but he handled it with ease and professionalism.

Great experience!

Chef Paris did an excellent job with my friend's surprise 30th birthday dinner. He was very communicative on his timing and had a very extensive menu to pick from. The food was delicious. I would definitely recommend picking him for your event.

Rich was absolutely amazing! He worked so hard on the initial menu and came up with a beautiful treacle tart recipe as it was my dad’s favourite. The food was amazing, with such attention to detail and each course was handcrafted & so nicely presented. Everything tasted so fresh and beautifully cooked. Rich is also such a lovely person and I would recommend him to anyone. We hope to use him again! Thank you so much Rich

Chef Denis provided us with a fantastic experience. He was very polite and we felt comfortable around him. It's hard to find words to describe the food, everything was so perfect. I highly recommend Chef Denis.

Daniela was fantastic. Her communication and professional, the overall experience was excellent and her food was incredible. Highest compliments!!

Chef Brok was amazing!
