chef pink went above and beyond for my sister's bachelorette brunch and we are all so grateful for them! chef pink was friendly and engaging in addition to being a fabulous chef. the ingredients they used were fresh and thoughtful, with many of them picked from their own garden. the dishes were beautiful, flavorful and incredibly special. i would absolutely recommend chef pink for any private dining experience. we received a michelin-worthy experience at a fraction of the cost.

We had the pleasure of having Chef Hermes cook for our family during our 15-day stay in Turks and Caicos, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. He prepared two meals a day for our family of five, and every single dish was a hit. Each meal was thoughtfully planned, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. From fresh seafood to comforting classics, he consistently exceeded our expectations—we were never disappointed. Not only was the food outstanding, but Chef Hermes was also incredibly polite, professional, and respectful of our space, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend his services if you're looking for a talented and reliable chef while in Turks and Caicos. We’re already missing the food!

Chef Renee paid attention to so many details. She was easy to talk to and made our meal delicious and memorable. She was easily reached ahead of time as well. The story behind her dishes were fun to hear also. We would highly recommend Chef Renee!

Jean-Marc Larrue was an amazing experience for our trip to the South of France. He was so fun and engaging with our group of 11 adults and 3 toddlers, and the food was amazing - the best we had on our trip. I highly recommend you hire Chef Larrue!

Chef Hernan catered for 17 at our villa in the hills of Ibiza for our 50th birthday meal. He and his team were amazing, I cannot recommend them highly enough. He was utterly professional, the food was superb, but at the same time, appropriately relaxed and informal as we wished it to be. Hernan and his kitchen help were both lovely to speak with and engaging, happy to talk about food and experiences, yet equally calm and professional, just getting on with everything without fuss. He was flexible on our wants and needs, menu, timing and general arrangements and he and the team left the place spotless at the end. The food was excellent, Hernan's experiences of cooking around the world coming in a great variety of flavours and styles, all of which melded perfectly together for the occasion, weather and setting. His waiting colleague was delightful, she made sure we all had everything needed and would jump to help seeing anything that was needed by anyone, making sure that we all had the perfect time. As with all the team, she was charming and friendly, happy to chat when engaged but otherwise calmly going about her role making sure we were all well fed, had drinks and were generally cared for. It was such a pleasure to have Hernan and his team with us for the day, I would happily recommend him to anyone for an occasion such as this. It was also lovely to receive such nice feedback from Hernan and his team, that they also clearly enjoyed the experience of coming to create the meal for us, you could see that this is something they all clearly enjoy doing very much. Five out of five.

Chef Pablo was great, we all really enjoyed his food and everything was well presented and tasty. He was punctual, attentive and it was a great private chef experience for us as a big family group of 17 in a rented villa! We only gave him 2 days notice and he did everything calmly and without any stress at all. Highly recommend, thank you!

Guilherme and colleague were very professional. The front of house service , laying of table etc very good. The menu was creative and made with good ingredients.

We hebben een heerlijke avond gehad dankzij Serena! Zij was bescheiden en heel vriendelijk. Het eten was heerlijk, er was met zorg en aandacht gekookt! Wij zouden een volgende keer zeker weer kiezen voor Serena! Wat ons betreft een dikke 10!

Alex was fantastic! Supper communicative, flexible, and his food was delicious!

Merci. C’était une expérience super agréable tout le monde a été super satisfait!

Volveremos a repetir. Es una gran experiencia.

Words cannot describe how amazing my experience with Mario was. He was so unbelievably helpful from our start to finish. He cooked for me and my now fiancé(!) on our engagement meal and he truly cared about the whole evening which meant the world to us. The food was absolutely exceptional as well! I cannot recommend Mario more, friend for life!

Jerome was amazing. He was polite, warm and very easy to work with. He made adjustments to the menu to suit our needs. The food he made was incredible. It was a fine dining experience in our own home. The quality of food and flavour is what you would expect in a Hatted Restaurant.

Miriam did such a great job on facilitating my night of the proposal to my fiancée. I couldn't be happier with her presentation. The food was delicious and so well thought through. The presentation was perfect and she took care of every little detail: from setting the stage to cleaning the kitchen. It was all there!

Incredible evening with Maricela! The dinner was wonderful from start to finish. She is so knowledgeable, engaging and an amazing chef. We were so happy with our experience. Highly recommend!!

Kriss created an excellent menu of very interesting and tasty dishes for our birthday dinner party, highly recommended!

Outstanding! Highly recommend!

Tout était parfait, une belle et délicieuse expérience ????

Raffaele & Giovanna were the most incredible people to meet, not only did they serve us amazing food but provided a family environment for our big and energetic family! We are a large family of 16 people with 6 children under 7 years old. They helped us plan our dinners and catered to the children's needs as well as the adults. Many of us made comments that Raffaele's dishes were the best they ever had! Giovanna was so kind and loving to our family and made everything stress free. We would absolutely have them cook for us again! Grazie Mille
