Chef Patricia Richer was phenomenal!

Chef Patricia Richer was phenomenal! She was so responsive and had many creative ideas for our dinner for 10 near Bordeaux. The service was impeccable, the food was a treat both visually and to the palette. I could not recommend her any higher. The Take a Chef website was so easy to use and we got several very nice quotes to review before selecting Chef Patricia.

Best Chef in Panama 🇵🇦

Chef Gregory made our night phenomenal! He came in professionally, cooked and cleaned in a timely manner. My partner and I wanted a private dinnern that we would enjoy and also food that we will remember anytime we think of Panama; Chef G. Went beyond our expectations! He cooked with a passion of caring for his guests and a very meaningful presentation. He also recommended a menu that worked for my partner and I ; even with dietary restrictions and allergies. After presenting us dinner he made sure we were comfortable and didn't leave room for errors, water was on the table and everything we needed he had it layed out before us. Food was flavorful and cooked to perfection, everything paired so well together. In addition to this he cleaned up leaving the kitchen spotless! You wouldn't be able to tell that someone cooked in it just a couple minutes before. That is how wonderful he cleaned! 100% would book again!

Chef Axel

Chef Axel and his wife created an incredible evening for us at our villa in Javea. The communication prior to the event was fantastic and our menu was designed perfectly per our requests. The food was served promptly, the presentation was beautiful, each dish was explained, and it tasted absolutely amazing. They also did a wonderful job of cleaning the kitchen up before they left. A complete restaurant experience in the comfort of our villa, could not recommend enough.

Absolutely incredible food and service

Absolutely incredible food and service. Such lovely kind gentlemen. The food was absolutely lovely! Definitely get your money's worth as we have plenty left over for lunch today! They were very understanding as our flight was delayed which ended up putting us / them behind schedule. They waited patiently for us and even helped us decorate for our bride to be! Couldn't recommend highly enough!

Chef Konstantinos provided us with a marvellous, authentic & plentiful meal. He and his helper couldn’t have been more professional as well as being so friendly and thoughtful.
Our one issue was the €10 per head for wine - which only provided two bottles! €40 per bottle is hotel prices, and although the wine was good, we would recommend buying your own decent wine rather than paying these prices.

We had the pleasure of having Micas Beato come and cook for my friend’s hen do at our villa, and the whole experience was fantastic.

Unfortunately, we had an issue during the evening when all the electricity in the villa went off while he was cooking. Micas handled the situation incredibly well, staying calm and professional throughout. Thanks to the kindness of a neighbour who offered their kitchen, he was able to continue cooking elsewhere and still served every course perfectly and on time, despite having to stay later because of the disruption.

The food was absolutely delicious and every course was enjoyed by the whole group. Micas went above and beyond to make sure our evening was a success, and his professionalism and dedication really stood out. He made the night special despite the unexpected challenges, and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

We booked Chef Luis Santos for a Hen party of 13 guests, and the experience was flawless from start to finish. Chef Luis was in excellent communication well before the event to ensure everything would run smoothly. He was incredibly friendly, polite, and professional throughout. The team went completely above and beyond, transforming our dining area with beautiful placemats, printed menus, napkins, and even flowers for the table. The service was immaculate; the waitress kept everyone’s drinks topped up all evening and cleared plates seamlessly. As for the food—it was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully. Thank you so much to Chef Luis and his team for making it such a special, unforgettable evening for the bride-to-be! Highly recommended!

Chef Gio was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very beginning, he was easy-going, friendly, and incredibly professional, making the entire process completely seamless and stress-free.

The food was absolutely delicious, and every dish was beautifully presented and prepared to an exceptionally high standard. My guests were genuinely impressed by both the quality of the food and the outstanding level of service throughout the event.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Chef Gio to anyone looking for a talented chef who delivers fantastic food and impeccable service. Definitely book Gio — you won’t be disappointed!

Chef Lucian

Chef Lucian delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavour. Every dish was thoughtfully crafted and showcased both creativity and culinary expertise. Beyond the incredible food, the service was impeccable. Chef Lucian was attentive, professional, and ensured that every detail was taken care of, allowing us to fully enjoy our celebration. He created a menu that perfectly captured the significance of the occasion and made the experience feel truly special for both myself and my friends. I cannot recommend Chef Lucian highly enough. His talent, attention to detail, and dedication to creating a memorable experience were evident throughout the entire evening. I will most definitely be booking him again for future special occasions.

A truly five-star experience from beginning to end.
