Chef John tailored a truly incredible experience for us! From the moment I reached out to him I received amazing communication and planning options for our menu. It was my best friend’s bachelorette weekend and we had a lot planned for her but she still says our experience with Chef John was her favourite part. John was engaging, kind, clean and efficient. I would absolutely recommend him if you are looking for a thoughtful, professionally executed and amazingly delicious menu. 5 stars! Thank you Chef John!

Giuseppe is a master of his craft! Making changes to our menu was very easy and never felt like an inconvenience. Each meal was presented beautifully and the portion sizes were more than generous. We actually had to tap out after the pasta course because we were so full. Giuseppe cooked and plated our remaining two courses for us to enjoy the next day, which we were so grateful for. His conversation was engaging and entertaining. After he left, we couldn't even tell that he'd been there; the kitchen was clean and dishes were all put away. Would highly recommend Giuseppe as a private chef!

We can’t thank Marius enough! Marius was our chef for the evening on a hen do of 10 ladies and made the experience extra special. Not only was the food delicious (and enjoyed by everyone) the menu to choose from was well diverse and suited everyone’s needs. I am celiac and pregnant and Marius ensured everything was suitable for my dietary requirements and talked me through everything clearly reassuring me all his food was safe for me to eat. I have to say the best gluten free meal I’ve had. Marius took time and care with the dishes which was evident on the evening and also cleaned everything up leaving nothing for us to do once he left. Thank you again!

Antonio was absolutely wonderful. The food tasted unbelievable, most people said it was the best fish they had ever had. He adapted the menu based on what we asked for and it was better than we could have hoped. His cocktails were incredible. He was engaging, polite and he let my son watch him cook. We had a really fun night with the most amazing food and drinks. Would highly recommend and will be using again next time we are in Lanzarote!

Would highly recommend!!!!

Allesandro heeft voor onze familie een fantastische avond verzorgd. Helemaal op onze wensen afgestemd vooraf, en op de avond zelf maximaal flexibel. Ontzettend vriendelijke en professionele mensen!

Marzia was very professional and caring. Because we were making pasta with her she brought Antonio , who translated her orders and stories into English. The food was very tasteful and the presentation outstanding. Thanks Marzia and Antonio!

experience was amazing, food was great, chef was great, would highly recommend

This is our second time with Chef and his staff and as usual they were fantastic. They made kids meals for my four children and adult meals for me and our guests and everything ended up being exceptional the flavors were tremendous the presentation was excellent and we are happy that we’re going back again next year and using him again I highly recommend him as an in Villa Chef

This was a great experience and very enjoyable!

Me encantó!! Mi familia estaba feliz! Excelente servicio, la comida deliciosa, el chef muy amable! Fue una experiencia perfecta! Gracias! Lo recomendamos total!!

We had a fantastic experience with our private chefs. Food was awesome. Chefs were awesome.

Chef Davide created an incredible atmosphere for my group of 16 people! He served multiple dishes of delicious Italian cuisines and was very accommodating to those with allergies. He had a great attitude and seemed truly happy to be there, cooking for people. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!

Great experience! We were highly satisfied with Christophoros. He‘s an excellent cook, very polite and clean. Would 100% book him again.

Chef Michela was a pleasure to work with! We scheduled a brief phone call where she walked me through what the night would look like and what was included. The menu was sent via the proposal, which we agreed upon during the call. The food was fresh and delicious and we loved the handmade pasta! She left the kitchen very clean and was very respectful of our space. I would recommend her!

They did an incredible job! The food was amazing and they were extremely professional. Our group was very impressed, and I would definitely recommend them.

Chef Maria was amazing and prepared the most delicious food. As we finalized the menu, she was very attentive and listened and made perfect adjustments when I asked. All the guests were raving about her food. She knew just how to make our party special. My kitchen was absolutely spotless when she left. I highly recommend Chef Maria. I can't wait to plan another event with her.

Juliana was wonderful. She prepared a fantastic 3 course meal for a 10 person lunch to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. 5 star food, wonderful service and great attention to detail. The experience was amazing from the moment she responded to our inquiry. We would employ her again in a heartbeat.

Première soirée pour mes parents, qui ont été enchantés par la chef, une personne très humaine, avec qui ils ont pû échanger tout au long de la soirée. Des mets de qualités et une belle présentation. Ils n'hésiterons pas a re faire appel a Morgane.

We hired them for our girls’ trip to Scottsdale and had an amazing experience! We chose an Italian menu, and everything was absolutely delicious. It made for such a fun and special night at the house. Highly recommend—we would definitely book again!
