Denis provided an amazing, 5 star experience for my partner and I. I brought him in to surprise my partner for his birthday and everything went perfect. Every course was to die for and the presentation was stunning. I would 100% recommend him and we plan on using him in the future for other events!

Chef Johnny Carino went above and beyond to make our dining experience one to remember. He put so much time and effort into making sure everything was perfect for our special occasion.

Chef Aaron was incredible. He brought along a second chef who recently won Philadelphia's best chef award. Our food was perfect from start to finish. Chef Aaron began his presentation with an explanation of each dish and welcomed any questions from our guests. Communication throughout the whole process was impeccable. Our guests had the best experience!!

Chef Turnadot was so nice and personable. She was incredibly flexible with the menu and scheduling. It was a wonderful experience and even better food!

Mauricio is a gift. He exceeded expectations and helped make my anniversary a very special affair. Full transparency, we went to Alux following our experience with Mauricio and had some similar menu items. Mauricio's interpretation, quality, and charm easily outshined those menu items. 100% recommendation. I will be back.

Prinera vez que hago esta actividad y Luis y su equipo la hizo muy especial.

Great chef everything was excellent

Gabor produced a brilliant menu for my dad’s 70th birthday dinner. Not only was it a delicious 3 course menu but he also included canapés and snacks to start, it was all amazing. Prior to the meal, Gabor was very quick to respond to queries either via message or on the phone and always flexible, particularly when we asked to add an additional person at the last minute. On the night, Gabor made the table look gorgeous and all the food was presented with great care. We were particularly appreciative of how flexible he was with timings whilst young children were put to bed. He also gave my 8 year old nephew, who was still up, some of the food to taste, which he loved! I would highly recommend Gabor to anyone needing a private chef! And the kitchen was spotless at the end of the night!

We were thrilled to have Chef Melissa make us a delicious poolside lunch at our Airbnb last weekend. The food was fresh and delicious (eggs from her own chickens and organic produce from her own garden!). Every dish came out beautifully plated and tasted wonderful. I would highly recommend her!

Chef John was incredible!!

WOW!!!!! Enough Said!!!!

The chef was great & brought a great helper. Showed up early, prepped, food was incredible & he cleaned all up. We will enjoy the left overs!

I recently had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday with an unforgettable Indian culinary experience curated by the incredibly talented Chef Prerana. From start to finish, the evening was an absolute delight for the senses, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service and delectable dishes provided. Chef Prerana effortlessly catered to a party of 11 people at my home, showcasing her culinary prowess with finesse and creativity. The diverse menu she crafted left everyone in awe, featuring a delightful assortment of flavors and textures that truly elevated the dining experience. The journey began with a tantalizing pastry that set the tone for the evening, followed by a fish dish expertly cooked. The lamb dish that followed was a testament to Chef Prerana's culinary expertise, as the meat was succulent and infused with a harmonious medley of spices (accompanied by amazing homemade bread). The depth of flavor in every bite was a true testament to her dedication to the art of Indian cuisine. To cap off this culinary journey, Chef Prerana treated us to a refreshing sorbet that cleansed the palate, preparing us for the grand finale - a birthday cake that was nothing short of a masterpiece. Not only was it visually stunning, but the taste was a revelation, leaving us in awe of Chef Prerana's baking skills. Beyond her culinary talents, Chef Prerana's kindness and easygoing nature made the entire experience seamless. Coordinating with her was a breeze, and her genuine passion for creating memorable dining experiences shone through every dish. I wholeheartedly recommend Chef Prerana for any culinary event. Her artistry in the kitchen, coupled with her warm personality, turned my birthday celebration into an extraordinary culinary journey that will be cherished for years to come. Thank you, Chef Prerana, for making my special day truly exceptional!

Colleen was incredible!! The food was absolutely delicious. One of the best meals I've ever had

Excellent communication and attitude, very friendly and made us comfortable. The dishes were of great quality. We had the best beef tartare ever - not lying!! Thanks again Gabriel. We had a very nice evening and enjoyed the food!

Andy did an excellent job catering for a special family birthday. The food was excellent, he was friendly and polite and provided a great overall experience. He was flexible with the menu choices and responded to queries thoroughly and quickly. We would highly recommend!

Chef Jean Carlo was amazing! Very responsive to all of my questions and the food was wonderful. We would definitely hire him again!!

We hired Chef Davide for my parents 40th wedding anniversary dinner while on holidays in Noosa. He made the experience so special, with personalised menus and tales of his career taking him all the way back to Italy. The food was incredible, with a special mention of the Pappardelle Al Ragu, although everything was just delicious. Davide left our kitchen spotless and he even left some pasta for my children - who he graciously allowed to “help” him prepare the pasta. Highly recommend!!!

David and his team did an incredible job at our house recently. It was a very enjoyable experience and I would highly recommend it. Looking forward to the next one already! Thanks

Chef Bridget was superb in her deliverance Excellent communication at all stages Altered the proposed menu at my request and was therefore very flexible and accommodating The braai was amazing and what we loved the most was how leisurely the whole experience was The Chef was not in a rush to leave as soon as possible Highly highly recommend
