Chef Kirill Grechin

This platform was a great way to select a private chef for our vacation. I received 3 options to choose from and ultimately selected Chef Kirill! Not only were his menu options and reviews good but his initial communication and out reach is what really caught my attention! The food was delicious and he met all of my food request and still was able to expose our palettes to new dishes.

Chef Kirill was amazing! From his attentiveness prior to our meal in curating a delicious menu to executing his plan, we were more than amazed. He made breakfast for our family at our Airbnb in Tulum the morning of our wedding and it made that day much more special. The presentation, taste, service and cleanup was immaculate. I will definitely be doing this again in the future!

You will not find a better chef! Everything was made from scratch! A very talented Chef, that you can tell has lots of experience in different cuisines. We had fresh made smoothies every morning with breakfast. Dinners were unbelievable with sooo much food. Make sure to request his Mahi Mahi dish! His attention to detail is noticeable too. I wouldn't use another Chef. You won't be disappointed.

Chef Kirill Grechin is amazing! He was so accommodating with timing and dietary restrictions. He made the most delicious 4-course vegetarian meal with the most amazing mango, condensed milk, biscuit triple layer cake. The ingredients were fresh and local, and he had a wonderful story behind the creation of each dish. I would highly highly recommend, my friends and I are still talking about the meal!

Chef Kirill was absolutely amazing. He was extremely communicative leading up to our event and met our needs without hesitation. We had a few dietary restrictions (vegetarian, pescatarian, etc.) and a couple pickier eaters, but he was quick to accommodate us. The food completely exceeded our expectations - everything was delicious and beautifully plated. He served authentic mexican dishes and the ingredients were super fresh. You can tell he has an amazing attention to detail and nothing was missed. They even brought a few pieces of decor (cloth napkins, candles, etc.) to match the vibe of our event. They completely cleaned our kitchen afterward and even cleaned mess they didn’t make. My only regret was only booking them for one night vs. more! Couldn’t recommend more highly :)

Chef Kirill and his team surpassed my expectations. He was professional, engaging and food was amazing! My guest felt like VIP, he had the table set to perfection. My partner and I were celebrating our birthdays together and he helped us create memories we will never forget. He gets 5 starts in our book, we can’t wait to host future celebration with him!

Chef Kirill was amazing! All of his food exceeded our expectations and his explanations behind the dishes were so engaging. He went above and beyond to give us great food and great stories. We would 150% book him again!

Our Chef Kiril was incredible.. highly recommended

Chef Kirill was amazing. Everyone raved about his food.

Chef Kirill provided an excellent experience for our large group of 14. Much appreciated

Chef Kirill was awesome to work with. He was able to craft custom menus around core foods we wanted included. He was punctual and very detail orient. The quality of the food and the presentation of it was top notch. In fact, the steak lunch he made for us was hands down much better than the dinner we had at one of the top rated Playa De Carmen steak houses we ate at the night before. I will definitely book another meal with Chef Kirill when we are next in Playa.

Everything we hoped for from the service! Dishes were explained and presented beautifully. All interactions were pleasant and fun! Can’t say enough good things, this chef can cook anything.

Chef Khilil and Diana were amazing. Best meal of the trip.

Thank you chef for the experience!

We had an amazing dinner service with Chef Kirill and Deana. It was the BEST MEAL we’ve had on this trip and we were quite saddened we didn’t use them the previous days! Just a fantastic service, articulating meal and an engaging personality ❤️ Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!! #tulum

Wonderful experience, food was wonderful.

Our Chef Kirill was amazing on all levels. I highly recommend him.

Wonderful! Please see my complete review.

Our experience was with chef Kirill Grechin and I highly recommend. Chef was very helpful and flexible during the meal planning stages. His menu offerings were diverse and creative. He was also very helpful in assisting me with selecting wine that would compliment his flavors. He arrived promptly and was very organized. His partner provided excellent and attentive service throughout the meal. Our appetizer was an elevated version of a steak street taco. The meat was cooked perfectly and very tender, the other flavors included a made by hand salsa that was absolutely mouth-watering. The garnish was some kind of crunchy sprout that added not only wonderful texture but a balancing flavor. Next we enjoyed a hearty pumpkin soup and chef was kind enough to provide us with an education about the kinds of pumpkins that are available in this region for culinary use. I definitely plan to purchase some next time I visit the market. The entree was very generous portion of perfectly cooked salmon with pea purée topped with a fresh guacamole and paired with a zucchini and tomato salad. Every dish was fresh and tasted alive and delicious ????. Dessert was just a ridiculous (in a good way) explosion of flavor, texture and temperature. I don’t even think that I can recall all of the ingredients but it definitely had deliciously cooked peaches, candied hazelnuts, a tiny amount of blue cheese and something frozen. It was EVERYTHING you want in a dessert. The clean up was quick and thorough, my husband and I were left seated at the table with a glass of wine, a full belly and a huge smile! This was our first experience with Take a Chef, we will definitely be using the service again and we will be seeking out more of Chef Grechin. Highly, highly recommend.
