Chef Michael was incredible, we had the privilege of Chef Michael’s time for 8 days. Chef Michael was extremely friendly, his food was perfect and tasted phenomenal. He put so much time, care and effort to everything he did and made sure we were well fed and happy. Nothing was too hard for him. I would give Chef Michael 100/10 he blew my expectations out of the water. Next time I return to Bali I will requesting Chef Michael to cook for me again. Thank you for such an amazing experience Chef Michael, I really appreciate it.

We had an incredible experience with Chef Eliot Christophe and his lovely assistant! From the initial contact to the very end of the meal everything was relaxed and still very professional. The food itself was beyond amazing. Every detail was thoughtful, creative, and presented with so much attention. Thank you, Chef Eliot for an amazing dining experience! It was very memorable!

Val was great. Would recommend.

We had the most wonderful experience with Bernice! We had a group of 13 women and she prepared six incredible meals for us during our stay. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. She set the table for every meal, cleaned everything up afterward, and was always punctual and professional. Bernice herself is an absolute sweetheart and made the experience feel warm and special. On our last day she even surprised us with homemade garden Bloody Mary’s, which was such a fun touch! One helpful note: the chef primarily speaks Spanish, so if anyone in your group has food allergies, it’s best to communicate those using a translator app to ensure everything is clearly understood. Overall, the service was fantastic and I would 100% hire her again. Highly recommend!

El jueves pasado organizamos una cena en casa para la familia y tuvimos la suerte de contar con Luis Alonso. Preparó un menú francés impecable: tartare de Saint-Jacques, galette bretonne, un magnífico coq au vin y una crème brûlée de plátano para cerrar la noche. Todo estuvo excelente, pero lo mejor fue la sensación de restaurante… en casa. Cocina precisa, sabores clásicos muy bien ejecutados y una experiencia que permitió disfrutar de la mesa sin preocuparse por nada. Un verdadero lujo.

Jason came fully prepared with everything needed to prepare and present a fabulous dinner for four. Everything was as local as he could source. We compared knowledge of the local seafood houses and he was spot on. The Pine Berries were a delightful surprise and a new favorite treat! Portions were GENEROUS and delicious. He graciously packed leftovers for us. We *really* enjoyed this experience!!!!

Leonardo went above and beyond. Leonardo was very accomodating. I requested family style meals for my son and five of his friends who were staying in an airbnb chalet in St. Anton. He was able to accomodate dietrary restrictions and allergies. My son and his friends said Leonardo's meals were excellent! He even helped the other boys who did not want a chef with cooking tips. I would highly recommend Leonardo.

Highly recommend Chef Max! He prepared an amazing meal with so much attention to detail and flavors. 10/10 experience

Alondra was great!

Chef Michael cooked us a delicious birthday lunch with a creative Asian fusion menu captivating the unique flavours of Balinese and Indonesian cuisine. He was communicative, kind and service was 10/10. Highly recommend!

Javier was incredible, had great ideas, and accepted my ideas and made them better. A+

If you are in Paris , please hire this chef . You won’t be disappointed.

Chef Sean and his sous chef were great from start to finish. He came prepared with everything he needed and asked nothing of myself our our guests. He left things cleaner than he found them. We most enjoyed hearing the description of our dishes upon presentation. Everything was fresh and tasty with super great quality ingredients. He even accommodated a vegetarian dish with a meat substitute. 10/10, would do again!

Unreal chef - talked us through the food menu and was lovely throughout

10/10 would recommend! Chef Ted provides the best overall experience. We didn’t know what to expect but everything from the mouth watering food to his amazing personality provided an experience beyond what we ever imagined could be the best.

Hollie was a dream to deal with in the planning and run up to the dinner and happy to accommodate a late request for (delicious) canapés. On the night everything ran smoothly, all our guests were very complimentary of the food and I felt we were superbly looked after and well fed.

Everything was very smooth and delicious!

Chef Sean and our sous chef Nick were absolutely incredible! The food was delicious, the presentation was amazing, and they both were such lovely hosts and incredible people to work with! We can’t recommend them enough!

Chef Gabriel was incredible!! So versatile with dietary preferences and such an amazing chef!! Food avs service was delicious.

We had such a great experience with Chef Stella. She was so helpful with curating the perfect menu, and we honestly loved every single dish she made. The food was incredible, and she was just great company to have in the house. She handled everything from start to finish and left the kitchen sparkling. We can’t wait to have her back!
