Deux cheffes nous ont servi ce soir là. C'était un réel plaisir de les avoirs pour ce diner d'exception. Elles ont sû s'adapter à la villa et nous partager des recettes qui ont fait plaisir à tout les convivents.

Chef Lius was wonderful from the very beginning. We had ideas of what we wanted to eat for my 60th birthday party lunch. Chef Luis was communicative before hand, kept up updated the day of the event. Chef Luis came with a sous chef Jose who helped him setting and prepare lunch. When the meal was ready- at the time we suggested- we sat to a delicious starter composed of a bed of mashed cauliflower topped with grilled octopus legs followed by a rack of lamb with grilled vegetables and mashed potatoes. A passion fruit cheesecake was served as the birthday cake. After dinner, everything was cleaned and put away. The kitchen was left spotless! We used Chef Luis and Jose twice now as we think they gave us one of the best meal we experienced in Costa Rica (we live here) and we intend to use his service again in the future.

We had a wonderful experience with Daniele! He clearly communicated ahead of time, was able to take into account dietary restrictions. During dinner he was kind, discreet, and very tolerate of our toddler! We would recommend Daniele.

Good service, well prepared dishes.

Je recommande la chef Céline les yeux fermés! Nous avons passé une superbe soirée grâce à elle! De la prise de contact jusqu’à la fin de la prestation, tout a été parfait! Elle a su s’adapter aux restrictions alimentaires de chacune, proposer un menu simple avec de bon produits locaux. L’animation de mise en place de la mise en bouche était super et a permis à tout le monde de participer. Encore mille fois merci pour ce menu délicieux et la gentillesse!!

Anna was amazing her food was devine highly recommend

Booked Chef Michal Liba via Take a Chef for a 60th birthday and we couldn't be happier. My friend flew over from the states to celebrate her 60th Birthday with us and we hired a house in Devon for the occasion. Mical was very accommodating to our requests and needs and came up with a super menu for us all – there were 8 of us. The communication with Michal leading up to the event was very professional, smooth and without any stress. The food was truly better than restaurant quality. It was exquisite—every course was beautifully presented and tasted incredible Mical took all the stress out of hosting—taking care of the prep, cooking, serving, and washing up. We all simply relaxed and enjoyed the evening! A truly memorable celebration and I cannot recommend Michal’s services enough. Thank you so much Chef Michal!

Chef William provided us with an incredible dinner experience! I can't recommend him enough. He showed up at the agreed upon time, and led our group through a culinary voyage full of incredible Puerto Rican cuisine. He let us watch him work his magic, and provided engaging stories about each dish. After dinner, he cleaned up EVERYTHING and left the kitchen spotless. I can't recommend him enough!

Chef Jamie exceeded every expectation we had! From the moment we booked, his communication was prompt, clear, and professional — he made the whole process completely stress-free. Our group of six had varying tastes, including one vegetarian, and Jamie handled everything with ease. He took the time to understand everyone's preferences and made sure no one felt like an afterthought. Every single person at the table was happy — that's no small feat! We booked him for two breakfasts and two dinners, and every meal was a highlight of our trip. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. He even left us with enough leftovers for a third breakfast, which was such a generous and appreciated touch. Jamie has a wonderful presence and a real talent in the kitchen. He was warm, unobtrusive, and clearly passionate about his craft. Our whole group agreed this experience was the highlight of the trip — we would book him again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Exceptional food. Exceptional service. Beautiful presentation and overall experience. Highly recommended. They provided our intimate family gathering with a memorable and delightful experience!! Thank you!

Chef Vic hosted a private dinner for our elopement and it was the highlight of our trip. The coordination (including the beautiful printed menus!) was very smooth. Vic is super friendly, a fantastic cook and has a wonderful team. If you want great food and a relaxed atmosphere, he’s your guy!

There are meals you enjoy, and then there are meals that become part of the memory of a place forever. What Chef Valerio Russo and Chef Ana created for our family was one of the finest private dining experiences we have ever had anywhere in the world. The evening was a celebration for my parents’ 80th birthdays, and from the very beginning, Valerio and Ana made it feel deeply personal and special. They prepared and served an extraordinary four-course meal for 11 people with a level of grace, organization, and attention to detail that was truly impressive. The night started with a surprise Aperol Spritz served outside the monastery at sunset, immediately setting the tone for what became an unforgettable evening. Every course was executed with the level of care, creativity, and precision you would expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. Their preparation, timing, presentation, and warmth were absolutely exceptional. The meal began with a beautifully reimagined panzanella salad paired with incredibly fresh mozzarella that had been made the very morning of our dinner. It was vibrant, elegant, and perfectly balanced. The handmade pappardelle with freshly foraged mushrooms, gathered by Ana herself, was extraordinary. Earthy, rich, and deeply comforting while still refined. The rosemary and fennel roasted chicken was perfectly cooked, fragrant, and accompanied by roasted potatoes that achieved that elusive perfect caramelization that great chefs make look effortless. Dessert was a stunning Italian chocolate layer cake served with fresh whipped cream and strawberries, which somehow managed to feel both decadent and celebratory without being overly heavy. What elevated the evening even further was Valerio and Ana themselves. They were engaging, warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely joyful to spend time with. It never felt transactional. It felt like being welcomed into the culinary world of two people who truly love what they do and care deeply about creating meaningful experiences for others. We have eaten at many exceptional restaurants over the years, including Michelin-starred establishments, and I can say without hesitation that this experience belonged in that company. It was thoughtful, soulful, technically flawless cooking presented with generosity and heart. Thank you, Valerio and Ana, for giving our family a memory we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

We are very happy with our private chef! They were flexible with the menu and listened to our wishes and took our allergies into account. The food was really good and they served a lot so we could keep the leftovers. We really recommend this chef!

Nous avons passé une excellente soirée pour les 60 ans de mon papa avec le chef Gio Renzo Fioraso à Londres. Le repas était délicieux avec des ingrédients de qualité. Une cuisine généreuse et raffinée. Nous ferons appel à lui avec grand plaisir pour un prochain dîner ! C’était génial ???? thank you Chef !

We had a great night and really enjoyed the food and company of Chef Vaz Filipe. Would highly recommend him and would definitely book again when in the area

We had an incredible experience, and cannot recommend enough! Thank you so much!!

Chef Umberto was fantastic. He was a very nice man and a fantastic chef. The dinner he repaired was the best meal we had in Italy all week. What a talented chef. I recommend chef Umberto highly!!

Great

From the proposal, to the planning, and execution- chef christopher out did himself!! We are already planning on hiring him again. The food was phenomenal and the wine pairings made it just perfect! We loved our private dinner and can't wait to do it again!!

I hired Chef Andy to cater my bachelorette party for a group of 12 girls staying just outside of Halifax, and it was an incredible experience! He was extremely accommodating when we needed to change the date and customize the menu, which we really appreciated. The food was absolutely amazing, and the whole experience was so much fun—everyone loved it. We even had a vegan guest, and Chef Andy made sure she was fully taken care of with delicious options. He came with a team of servers, and it truly felt like we were dining in a restaurant. To top it all off, the kitchen was left spotless. I would definitely recommend Chef Andy!
