Chef Salmon was absolutely incredible. He truly made my parent's 40th anniversary a night to remember. He was extremely professional, organized and talented. Most importantly, the food was amazing! We enjoyed every single dish that he prepared. The next day we could not stop talking about what we had eaten. I would have no hesitancy recommending him to friends or family. I would definitely have him cook for an event again!

Chef Mike has surprised us with his great presentation, taste, quality of the dishes. He even went extra miles to bake us a cake so that we had a very cosy and special birthday celebration for my twins. Will definitely recommend him for people gg to Bali.

A culinary delight! Ru is not only a wonderful chef but also a very impressive and great person! The evening was very unique for us and an incredible culinary journey! A big thank you to Ru

This was my first experience with a private chef. I decided to go this route with my family visiting for Thanksgiving in order to focus on spending time with them, as well as making sure the food was excellent. Abbigail did not disappoint. Her menu was classic with some nice twists for my plain-eating family. She was responsive to emails, arrived on time, and was very pleasant to have in the kitchen. She set up a beautiful spread and flow then quietly cleaned up what she could while we ate. Her food was fantastic. Definitely go ahead with booking Abbigail for your needs and you won't be disappointed!

Brandon was absolutely incredible. The ingredients were outstanding. He was prepared and polite. The presentation of his food was a 10 out of 10 and the quality/taste of everything was phenomenal. I highly recommend Brandon and look forward to this experience again.

Our dinner with Chef Pablo was awesome. He arrived exactly at the designated time and got right to work preparing the meal. Every dish was delicious and after each course, Pablo and his son were there to clear away the dish and present the next course. We didn't have to do anything. Pablo and his son made sure our wine and water glasses were full and that we had everything we needed. They cleaned the kitchen before departing and did an overall fabulous job!

Chef Karon was phenomenal. She was incredibly flexible and accommodating with our request. She served a four course meal including a surf and turf main course with lamb and lobster which was excellent. Everything she presented was delicious. If you are looking for a chef in Barbados I highly recommend her, she will not disappoint you!

A wonderful evening with Tara. Will try again

Thank you so much Cheryl for our amazing dinner. It was a pleasure to meet you and the food you cooked was greatly appreciated. We will be back again ????

Our experience was SO amazing. Our food was incredible from our amazing breakfast to our surf and turf dinner. He listened to all of our requests and accommodated to our pickier easters as well. Would highly recommend

Melisa was amazing! Her food and presentation of the food was incredible, she was engaging, friendly and funny - 10/10!

Amazing food. We were so impressed by all good; everything was really delicious. Highly recommend!

Chef Daniele was absolutely amazing! The initial chef we were paired with, with advance notice, notified us that he had to be admitted to the hospital due to a scheduled surgery. Chef Daniele stepped in, agreed to retain our previous menu, and made our Italian Thanksgiving dinner incredible. In addition to a roomful of satisfied adults, he fed and entertained the five children that were excitedly watching him prepare several of the courses for the evening. Thank you Chef Daniele!

We had Eddie! He was amazing. The 3 course dish was perfect all the way from start to finish. Highly recommended

Nous avons passé une soirée incroyable grâce à Esteban. Il n'a pas hésité à adapter son menu à nos demandes et nous faire découvrir des revisites de certains plats iconiques. Que de belles surprises le tout jumelé à un service excellent! Encore merci Chef!

Chef Denis Mitiajav was absolutely brilliant to work with when planning my 60th Dinner Party. Nothing was a problem. His attention to detail was very good and he came up with many excellent suggestions. The food served all evening was top class. The presentation of the food was excellent. Denis & Lena arrived at 4.45pm and only finished at 10pm, they worked incredibly hard all evening. The kitchen was spotless when they left, everything was washed up and put away. Denis is a really top class Chef, who I would highly recommend. We had a super dinner party and a very memorable night. Bronwyn

Ramiro was incredible! He custom-designed our menu based on our allergies, preferences, and budget. He was communicative, reliable, and very friendly. He was a joy to have in our kitchen. The food was delicious and great portions. He cooked for 8 adults and even made the three kids extras when we needed it. I would 100% recommend booking with him!

Last week, my family and I had the distinct pleasure of experiencing the culinary artistry of Private Chef Gabriele in Tuscany. The occasion was a special one – my father-in-law's 70th birthday – and Chef Gabriele ensured it was celebrated with unmatched grandeur. From the moment Chef Gabriele entered our villa, he brought with him an aura of professionalism and passion for food that is rare to witness. His attentiveness to our dietary preferences and keen eye for detail was evident in every dish he crafted. Each meal was not just a dish but a story of Tuscany, told through local ingredients, traditional techniques, and innovative twists. The highlight of his service was perhaps his ability to connect with us on a personal level. He didn't just cook; he shared anecdotes about the origins of each dish, making dining an educational and immersive experience. His care and warmth were particularly noticeable in how he paid special attention to my father-in-law, ensuring his favorite flavors were woven into the menu. The brilliance of Chef Gabriele’s cooking lies in his ability to balance flavors and textures, creating symphonies on a plate. From the rich, velvety pastas to the incredible meats and the delicately flavored desserts, each dish was a testament to his exceptional culinary skills. Chef Gabriele didn’t just feed us; he indulged us in a gastronomic journey that was the highlight of our Tuscan getaway. His dishes were not just meals; they were a celebration of life, love, and the joy of family. We left with not just satisfied palates but hearts full of gratitude for the unforgettable culinary adventure he provided. Chef Gabriele, thank you for making our celebration extraordinary!

What a wonderful experience with Chef Jacob and his wife Carolina. From the extent of the menu selection offered to the quality of presentation and exception taste of the meal itself, it was a truly enjoyable experience. Both Jacob and Carolina were engaging throughout the evening and their pride in the meal and presentation showed. From placing the table settings to clean up, the entire meal was handled by both, leaving our party to sit and enjoy the entire process. A highly recommended experience and definitely something that I would look at doing again!

Chef Maryam Ghargharechi was incredibly kind and extremely easy to talk to. The meals from start to finish were the best meals we have ever had. This was a birthday gift for my boyfriend and he was blown away by the quality of the meals. We’ve been to a large amount of highly rated restaurants and this food far exceeded those. She’s an incredible chef!
