Lovely evening and chef Morgane is excellent!!

Chef Lerisa created a wonderful meal for my partner’s birthday dinner. The food was incredible and Lerisa was very kind, knowledgeable and attentive.

Chef Dwayne was excellent! Super friendly and the dishes he made were very good! He was the perfect choice for my bachelorette party. He also left the space super clean afterwards which we appreciated. Would hire again!

Chef Luis was wonderful! He prepared delicious dinners for us - so much good food. Loved the Costa Rican themed meal and the seafood night!

Sarah is a very kind person and she did a wonderful job. We had a incredible dinner and enjoy the hole service. The kids loved Sarah‘s lasagne. We would book her anytime again.

We requested very last minute but the team was remarkable and understanding of our requests. Whole process from start to finish was a breeze. I have never hired a chef before but after the experience they were able to provide, I will most certainly be running it back

Ryan made our night! The dishes were incredible. The use of his own signature spices really upped the ante! A beautiful blend of creole and Cali favorites. His story was just as inspiring as his food. We can’t wait to try more!

Jeff is a delight, and he makes amazing food. The whole experience was Top notch, 10/10, and any other ways you want to say it. Would definitely have him as our chef again.

Chef Stan made our Ibiza trip the highlight, his team was absolutely incredible. We had so much food everything was made from scratch with the best quality and care. Highly recommend and I can see why everyone loves him.

Fantastic

Highly recommend, best food

Anver and his team were incredible. The food served was world class as was the service and clean up.

Gio provided us with a delicious meal.The food was perfectly cooked,very tasty and wonderfully presented- each dish being explained to us.He even presented us with a little surprise appetiser.Gio was polite, professional yet very friendly, adding very much to our celebration.Would have no hesitation recommending Gio.

Incredible chef! The food was amazing - so tasty and really impressive presentation. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you!

Wir fanden es sehr schön so bedient zu werden, auch dass Amanda sogar den Tisch gedeckt hat und auch die passenden brasilianischen Teller ect mitgebracht hatte! Wir werden take a Chef auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen!!

Absolutamente fantástica! Que dupla!! Eramos 8 pessoas e ficamos os 8 maravilhados com tudo - a comida espetacular, a simpatia total, a apresentação divinal, a disponibilidade e o sorriso durante todo o serviço. Elogios a todos os niveis. 5 estrelas! Se está a pensar num Chef para este tipo de serviço não hesite - Murillo e Layla!

Excellent experience, Cris & Jess did a great job and were very accommodating to our group who all really enjoyed and appreciated it.

Erik was amazing and so was his food! He was very communicative and friendly and put a lot of time and effort in to his menu and meals. Would recommend him to anyone!

Chef Reha was amazing to work with. She was very attentive and accommodating to our dietary needs, on time and the food was delicious. We would hire her again any time the opportunity comes up.

I decided to book a private chef for my husband’s birthday. This was my first experience doing so, and Chef Decardios certainly exceeded my expectations. Even prior to the dinner, he was very responsive and accommodating with editing the menu. He made coordination seamless and arrived right on time. He balanced professionalism with engagement very well, the service throughout dinner was smooth, every dish was excellent, and he was surprisingly quick and thorough with cleanup. This was a surprise for my husband and he absolutely loved it. We would highly recommend Chef Decardios for your private chef needs!
