Aura is a very talented chef. Her food was incredible. Fresh, flavorful and interesting. This is a byproduct of her attention to detail and genuine desire to create a great experience. We had a party of 8,in one of the Puerto Plato Lifestyles 5 bedroom Crown Villas. She created wonderful meals for us even though SHE had no OVEN!! Imagine the skill and technical expertise it takes to adapt a whole 7 day menu with that restriction. Everything was wonderful and the quality of the food and the level of service we received was so far above the “all-inclusive “ program at the resort that we will look to use her service again for all of our groups in the future. I cannot recommend her highly enough and I have given her permission to pass my contact information along to anyone who would be thinking of hiring her. Party of 8 Jan2026

Chef Lenny is a Master! One taste sensation after another starting with an amazing Arugula salad; followed by a Shrimp and Grits appetizer that surprised at every bite; and then the main; Salmon glazed with a sweet Thai chili sauce, mashed potatoes and asparagus, all cooked to perfection and professionally served by his wonderful server. It was the rare plate that was left with any food on it, and then only because the diner was stuffed! Other diners, however, seamlessly came to the rescue to ‘taste’ the food they already ate on their own plate. Then, after all the diners were completely satisfied came the desert! Bananas Foster interpreted by Chef Lenny. OMG! He must have been possessed when he created his finale. With each spoonful the initial flavor extravaganza surprised, followed by the unexpected sweet, savory follow on taste that must have had a little magic infused with it, because two seconds after your brain enjoyed the dissipating taste of the previous spoonful, Chef Lenny’s creation compelled you to take another taste. Spoonful after spoonful. No one had any self-control remaining. As if guided by an invisible hand, Chef Lenny’s creation took control till your bowl was empty, subjecting each diner to a momentary feeling of sadness, followed by an instantaneous eruption of internalized cheers. Again. OMG! If you are looking for a dining experience beyond expectations, Chef Lenny will deliver it to you. All with an engaging personality, infectious smile, and casual conversation that made him feel like a member of the family. And don’t worry if you just moved in, completely remodeled, and had forgotten to stock the kitchen with many of the supplies need to support his tour-de-force performance - like we did - Chef Lenny is eminently adaptable. Bravo Chef! Bravo!

Chef Warren was incredible in all areas! We enjoyed him and his staff. The food was top tier, and the service exceptional! We had the best time

Lucas and his team did a wonderful job if providing daily brunch and dinners for us. The meals were excellent and well thought out. They handled last minute changes with professionalism and were very accommodating to the guests dietary needs. We all enjoyed the services and would diffinately use Chef Lucas again.

Everything was incredible 10 out of 10

Awesome time with James - he's very legit and it was money well spent.

Chef Michael is extremely professional, knowledgeable and his dishes speak for themselves. I loved the experience and his kindness throughout the dinner service, I can’t wait for next time already. Grazie!

Patricia a été très réactive, disponible et professionnelle. elle a su adapter les plats à nos envies et besoins. tout était excellent, nous recommandons

Great experience, Yohan is super Nice, super professional and careful. Food was great, and very consistent across the 3 courses. We will do it again!

Chef Lucky was very good. Presentation and flavour profiles were exceptional. I will do this again!

Connor was absolutely incredible! He was so prompt and kind - the meal was the best we had looking over a perfect sunset. We will definitely be using his services again when we’re back. He is so SO good, y’all!

Food was amazing, the two Balinese guys who came and cooked / presented the food were very professional, polite and friendly.

Cindy was our Chef for a full week in playa Pelada. She was organized, communicated well, and accommodated all special requests. The menu was creative and mixed local cuisine with classics which was perfect for our group which included 4 kids. The desserts each night were a highlight. Having Cindy as our chef turned our trip into a true vacation and it was wonderful coming home from the beach every night to a delicious meal.

We hired Chef Turandot for my moms birthday dinner and I could not recommend her more. Everything tasted amazing and she was very accommodating with food allergies. Thank you for making her birthday very special!

Le chef nous a bien régalé. Les plats délicieux et bien présentés. A refaire

Amazing experience!!! John was great! Food was amazing!!

Superbe soirée entre amis accompagné pour les supers préparations de Perrine !

Very professional chef, lovely food and very accommodating, would definitely recommend.

Guilherme is a wonder! So charming and engaging, he prepared an outstanding meal for us. Everything from the amuse bouche to the desert was a taste sensation. We learned about the nuance of each dish, and he answered all our questions about preparation. Both he and his waiter Antoine were a joy to have in our home and were very sweet to our little dog as well. I would highly recommend him!

Chef Santiago was truly superb. We asked for a "surprise" menu and got just that: a collection of his favourite dishes. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is thinking of throwing their own event.
