Chef Matthew Thompson

Chef Matt was fantastic! He was knowledgeable about the food and the area, giving us some great recommendations of places to go and see while we were in Madeira. The food and presentation was outstanding, and we didn’t have to lift a finger for anything. Our group would highly recommend anyone to use Matt in their home.

In madeira with a baby i wanted to offer a high end restaurant dîner to my wife at home and matt delivered. Matt has been reactive and accomodating by chat before the diner and flexible to compose the menu beforehand. On the diner day he was very ponctual and friendly from the get go. He adapted to the casual vibe we wanted and we had a friendly chat while he was cooking and we were feeding our baby. The food was generous and very good with fresh and quality products. The cooking was made perfectly with just the right amount of seasoning and the right balance being fancy while not overly sophisticated. The quantity was perfect and none of us finished hungry. The service was also very good. Matt accomodated between what we had and few items he bought to make our table a restaurant like expetience. There was no wait between dishes and the overall was exécutés perfectly. The dishes présentation were very good as well and clearly high end restaurant like. At the end Matt left the kitchen cleaner that what it was and we just had to get on the sofa and enjoy the rest of the night. Would definitly recommend.

Chef Matthew Thompson was excellent!! Easy to communicate with beforehand to curate a menu based on preferences and with communicating timing/arrival, etc. The experience was perfect - he did an excellent job of communicating with us while also allowing us time to relax and enjoy time outside between dishes. The dishes themselves were the best food we’ve had all week on our honeymoon — cannot recommend Chef Matthew Thompson enough!! You will not regret it.

Matt was incredible. Very relaxed yet professional and the food was amazing. His knowledge of the island and the sources of the food was also very impressive. Would definitely recommend!

Matthew was wonderful! The best meal we’ve had during our stay on Madeira. He cleaned up after himself, and the presentation was fantastic.

Chef Matthew did a wonderful job cooking for us on vacation. Every dish was delicious, well presented, and perfect portions. Matthew left the kitchen even cleaner than when he arrived and was so kind and communicative the whole time. This was one of the highlights of our time in Madeira. Highly recommend!

Chef Mat is delightful - he arrived right on time and made himself at home in our vacation rental right away. He was engaging and shared a lot about the area for us. He prepped and cooked while we enjoyed each other! He set the table, served each course and explained what we were having. It was beyond wonderful. Every course was a delicious mixture of tastes and textures - we enjoyed everything! We highly recommend Mat! Having a chef come to our beautiful vacation rental was just perfect for us!

Je recommanderais ce chef à tous!

Highly recommend treating yourself to a in home chef experience This treat was a real highlight to our stay in Madiera and everything I had hoped for.

Chef Matthew was absolutely incredible. He was great to communicate with, he was friendly and the food was absolutely amazing! He met our gluten free needs and made one of the best meals we've ever had. He started the night by emptying our dishwasher and ended the night by completely cleaning the kitchen. When we come back to Madeira we will be contacting Chef Matthew to cook for us.

Chef Matt was absolutely amazing. The dishes were incredible, everything tasted perfect and wasn't obvious and the presentation was on point. Matt is great to be around, we had great conversation about living in Madeira, and when we asked he was also keen to share tips on how to improve our own cooking skills which is awesome. In general it was a cherry on top of our perfect trip to Madeira, we highly recommend!

Chef Matt was a highlight of our trip to Madeira. His food was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully. He was friendly and shared the insights of his cooking techniques and even recommendations of the island. An overall wonderful experience

Wonderful experience, we would recommend to anyone coming to Madeira! The food was delicious and Matthew is really nice and engaging, offering some inside tips on activities on the island.

Excellent food and service. Highly recommended.

Matthew was punctual, flexible with our kid that didn’t want to go to sleep this night, presented dishes grounded in local culture, like we asked for, and the food was amazing. He insisted on cleaning up, and left the kitchen cleaner than it was before.

Chef Matthew blew expectations out of the park. Every dish was both stunningly presented and delicious. It was thoughtful and refreshing cuisine and I could not be happier with the result. He made it all work in the tiniest of kitchens too. I will personally recommend chef Matthew to anyone who is looking for a private chef for the evening.

Excellent meal with Matthew, punctual, organized and attentive with the guests. He left everything very clean and the meal prepared corresponded to our request and was excellent.

We can highly recommend Matt. Great tasty food, perfectly prepared and presented. Kitchen left spotlessly clean and tidy. Couldn’t wish for anything better!
