Vielen Dank für den sehr gelungenen Abend! Grazie Alessandro!!

We had an excellent experience with Martin as our private chef. His communication was excellent from start to finish, and he was professional throughout. The food was absolutely amazing, and one of the girls in our group was vegetarian, so Martin prepared a separate menu for her, which was excellent and very much appreciated. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and our bride-to-be absolutely loved it. We would highly recommend Martin to anyone looking for a special dining experience.

Chef Alejandro was absolutely incredible! My partner and I had a birthday celebration with our family in an Airbnb in Sitges and chef made our night very special. The food was divine and the presentation was beautiful. Chef Alejandro was polite and very informative of his menu when serving. First time for us as a family having a private chef and would definitely without a doubt do it again, it was a fantastic experience. Cannot recommend Chef Alejandro enough. Thank you for a wonderful night.

Michael was amazing. He communicated well, was responsive, kind and great with the guests. The food was lovely. Highly recommend

Amazing service from start to finish for our group of 14 at a private villa near Seville. Luis and Anyi went above and beyond, the food was absolutely delicious and they managed everything from table settings to clear up perfectly. Couldn’t recommend them more for a really memorable and special meal.

Produit de qualité, exécution parfaite. Nous nous sommes régalés. J’ai adoré l’expérience. Je voulais organiser un dîner romantique pour ma femme mais impossible de sortir (nous avons 2 enfants en bas âges). C’était parfait! On a eu l’impression de se retrouver dans un grand restaurant sans quitter notre appart. Même la deco de la table a été soignée! Magique! Merci beaucoup.

Eric and his colleague were incredible! Everything was so delicious, and communication was great. Very kind and professional, would recommend!

We hired Chef Roland for two evenings during a hen weekend in rural France, 19 adults, two very different menus, and a slightly complex set of dietary requirements across the group, including gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and pescatarian guests. Roland handled all of it without a hitch. The food was excellent, generous, well-seasoned, and perfectly suited to a relaxed sharing format. There was plenty of it too, with leftovers to spare, which for a group our size was genuinely appreciated. Every guest was catered for, and nothing felt like an afterthought for those with restrictions. What also stood out was Roland's initiative. Rather than relying on us to brief him on the kitchen setup, he contacted the house owner directly to get the details he needed. For a group staying in an unfamiliar property, that kind of proactive approach made a real difference. Beyond the cooking itself, Roland was professional and easy to communicate with throughout. Having a private chef take care of both evenings removed a significant logistical burden and let everyone actually enjoy themselves. We would hire Chef Roland again without hesitation. Merci Chef!

We hired Hugo as our chef for a private breakfasts and a dinner for 13 people during our stay in Madrid, and the experience exceeded all expectations. From the very beginning, he was professional, accommodating, and incredibly easy to work with. His communication and preparation ahead of the event were excellent; he took the time to understand our group's preferences and dietary requirements, made thoughtful menu suggestions, and ensured every detail was carefully planned and all groceries were purchased, so we didn't need to do anything apart from arrive at our villa. We felt completely confident that everything was in hand long before the day arrived. The food was absolutely outstanding – beautifully presented, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. We had a range of dietary requirements within our group, and he catered to every one of them seamlessly without compromising on quality or flavour. Throughout the evening, he was attentive and available whenever we needed anything, while still allowing us to relax and enjoy the experience. He also took care of everything afterwards, leaving the kitchen spotless. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hugo to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in Madrid. Thank you for helping make our trip so memorable!

Dori was incredible, from his communication ahead of the day, to the evening itself, the food, the presentation, the clearing up, all just amazing and the best way to spend a girls 40th Birthday evening. Cannot recommend him enough - thankyou Dori.

Chef Jose and his beautiful niece Raquel, was a wonderful way of wrapping up our hen do celebrations in Spain. Prompt, professional and a nice pace between courses. He catered for a last minute guest with no problems. A beautiful experience, 10/10. Thank you!!

There are absolutely no words to describe Chef Daniel!!! His attention to detail and the quality of the dishes were outstanding! His response time to messages were on point. We felt like he was a member of our family. He was very engaging and took the time to hold conversations with us. He’s very personable and approachable. We love ourselves some Chef Daniel!❤️ If you want an excellent, delicious, savoring meal, he’s definitely your man!!! We are already planning to hire him for our next trip.

Thank you! Staff arrived on time and work very independently - we were able to just relax! Dinner was flowing so easily and the food was delicous! We would recommend them! Thank you so much for this special experince. P.S. The kitchen was super clean after the dinner :) Five star service!

We hired Anderson for a private dinner for five in the Hamptons and could not have been more impressed. He made the drive from Brooklyn without hesitation, arrived right on time, and came fully prepared. From the start, he was flexible and collaborative, offering a wide range of menu options and working with us to build something that felt custom to our group. The food was outstanding. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, nothing too heavy, just exactly right for the evening. The seafood risotto was a standout, and the branzino practically melted in our mouths. The steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection. And when we mentioned wanting a chocolate cake that wasn’t part of his original proposal, he made it happen without any fuss. Beyond the food, Anderson is just a genuinely warm and friendly person who made the whole experience feel effortless. He also left the kitchen spotless, which we deeply appreciated after a full night of celebrating. If you’re looking for a private chef who is talented, reliable, and an absolute pleasure to have around, Anderson is your person. We’d hire him again in a heartbeat!!

Chef Rich was fantastic! Before our event, he was collaborative and attentive to menu changes and ideas. He and his team arrived promptly on time and had a seamless set-up treating me and my 13 girlfriends like queens. His team helped set up table decor, plated and served the food, refilled our wine glasses all night, and everyone had a blast. His clean up made our kitchen immaculate. Even after the fact, we’re still talking about how good everything was. I was the lucky one to get the leftovers! Thank you, Chef Rich and we’ll see you again soon!!

Our chef Peter Keo was amazing. He was punctual and worked with us in developing a delicious meal without potatoes. Every meal was fresh, delicious and had beautiful presentation. We do wish the chef communicated in advance that Peter was coming instead of herself as it was a bit of a surprise. Other than that, fantastic meal to celebrate our bride to be!

Excelente experiencia, el menú comienza desde semanas antes. El chef ajusta completamente a tu gusto, y va enviando actualizaciones sobre ingredientes, diferentes opciones, así que en todo momento te sientes acompañado y sobre todo se siente una experiencia personalizada.

Chef Santiago was excellent, the meals were amazing. He did a wonderful job throughout and kept everything clean as he went ensuring kitchen was clean when he finished.

Our experience with Jayne and Alistair was fantastic. She is really communicative, rolled with our last minute changes, prepared an incredible meal for our family gathering, and was - from start to finish - a delight. Would highly recommend Jayne.

Nous avons passé un moment formidable grâce au chef, qui a su nous proposer un menu varié, raffiné et absolument délicieux. Chaque plat était parfaitement exécuté : savoureux, équilibré, joliment présenté et généreux dans les portions. Nous avions réservé cette prestation dans le cadre d’un enterrement de vie de jeune fille, et cela a été un véritable atout. Nous avons pu profiter pleinement de la future mariée sans avoir à nous soucier de la préparation des repas ou de l’organisation en cuisine. Le chef a parfaitement compris nos attentes et a élaboré un menu qui a fait l’unanimité auprès de toutes les convives. Discret, attentionné et très serviable, il a contribué à faire de cette journée un moment aussi convivial que mémorable. Je recommande cette prestation sans la moindre hésitation !
