Chef Hatim was fantastic. He cooked for a 16 person party and all of the food was delicious! He was easy to work with, timely and the kitchen was completely clean when he left. Every one of our guests loved the food from the appetizers to the amazing cheesecake!

We have booked chef Francesco Pasqualinotto for a birthday dinner for 7 people. The communication beforehand was very easy, Francesco was incredibly friendly and was able to accomodate all our wishes. The evening of the dinner was just perfect: He is very polite, clean and handled everything himself, which was very impressive. The menu was extraordinary, the 3 courses were a perfect fit for our group. The food was plenty and we all went to bed happy and well fed. Francesco left the kitchen spotless and in top condition. 10/10 would recommend him and his services any time again! Thank you!

¡La Chef Paola es absolutamente increíble! Contrató sus servicios para una cena especial en la que celebramos los cumpleaños de dos a la vez, y superó todas nuestras expectativas.

Desde el principio, demostró una atención al detalle impresionante, respetando perfectamente las restricciones dietéticas de todos los invitados sin ningún inconveniente. Su profesionalismo, amabilidad y calidez hicieron que la experiencia fuera aún más especial.
Y el postre… ¡el tres leches es una obra maestra! No pueden irse sin probarlo. ¡100% recomendada!

Chef Paola is absolutely incredible! We hired her for a special dinner where we celebrated two’ birthdays at once, and she exceeded all our expectations.

From the very beginning, she showed impressive attention to detail, perfectly accommodating everyone’s dietary restrictions without any issues. Her professionalism, kindness, and warmth made the experience even more special.

And the dessert… the tres leches is a masterpiece! You can’t leave without trying it. 100% recommended!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Our chef was nice but she was 45 min late bc she forgot part of the meal and provided the wrong dessert.

Having a professional chef cook in our kitchen has been a bucket list food for our whole life and Chef Caidy cooked it to perfection! Such a lovely experience and I want all the recipes to cook again. She is lovely and made it a wonderful experience. 5+++++ Stars!

Completely messed around by this company. Planned a private chef for my mum’s birthday and received no response from the person we booked with. After escalating the issue they said it was no longer possible and they couldn’t arrange a replacement for that day. I organised to have dinner out that evening and rescheduled for 2 days later eventually agreeing a new chef. They then cancelled this second option resulting in me wasting a lot of time during my holiday without getting any service. I was also told the refund will take 10 days and they’ve already had my money for a week and delivered nothing.

Oh my gosh, where do I start! Chef Luis was patient... we hired him the day we flew into San Jose. We had several delays, or of our control, we were 3 hours late! He was so understanding! He had access to the airbnb and was able to setup and wait patiently. We could smell the aroma as we arrived. Steaks cooked just right, tuna tar tar with edible flowers, and the dessert was the best I have ever had. This chef is 7 out of 5! His presentation is over the top

I will not stop recommending chef Juan Ignacio Luis to anyone who will listen!
Juan was the perfect private chef to our celebration.
Juan effortlessly slipped into the background while we all enjoyed our evening to indulge and celebrate.
The food was magnificent, the eye for detail was unmatched and the kindness he had to making sure every guest was catered for exceeded my expectations.
We will all be dreaming of your food forever!
We will be coming up with fake celebrations just to hire Chef Juan!!

During the initial consultation, Juan was fast to reply, very flexible and offered so many options and variety to ensure a smooth and well catered for evening

Chef Francesco Masullo was attentive, innovative and communicative throughout the whole process. It was evident that he can converse in either Spanish, Italian or English; possibly other languages too. We wanted to eat typical Canarias food and he delivered using all of his well established skills. His style is afable, bidable and friendly making it easy for us, as diners, to relax and appreciate the many dishes. Extremely hard working and very, very generous would round up our description of Chef Francesco.

Pat was great from start to finish! He tailored the menu to suit our group and was flexible with our requests. The food was excellent, well presented and he left the kitchen tidy afterwards. Would definitely recommend!

WOW WOW! Thank you Chef Jaden for the incredible experience. From the start you ensured I was happy with the menu and was happy to answer all my questions . The flavours were OUT OF THIS WOLD ! I have no words. Thank you .

Great experience wit chef Teodoro Cardone, I can only warmly recommend him!

We selected the cook, Adele Wankou, and she was absolutely amazing. She was the only chef who truly took our requirements into account from the very first proposal. Our friends had a wonderful experience with us and really enjoyed the food.
Communication on our side was sometimes difficult, and unfortunately we confirmed everything at the last minute. Despite that, she managed to make everything work and was incredibly understanding of our situation.

Chef Paula not only made a beautiful Spanish tapas meal complete with paella but was so warm and charming. She made a ton of food for eight of us. So much we had leftovers for lunch the next day. I would highly recommend her for your special night.

Amazing experience with chef DJ Brandenburg! What an amazing chef and such delicious evening!!

My husband and I LOVE LOVE TO EAT OUT AND ORDER IN! OUR CHEF, ALVIN YU, WAS FABULOUS! THE FOOD HE PREPARED WAS BEYOND DELICIOUS AND BETTER THAN WE IMAGINED….ALVIN AND HIS EMPLOYEE SET UP EVERYTHING AND CLEANED UP EVERYTHING SPOTLESSLY!!!!! WE CAN NOT WAIT TO USE HIM AGAIN AND REFER HIM TO OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR A WONDERFUL MEAL AND EVENING!

Booked Pat through takeachef to celebrate my mother-in-laws 70th birthday. He liaised with us before the meal to confirm choices and menu. We had x3 courses and he was able to cater for both veggie and non-veggies within our party. The food was excellent, good portion sizes too. He was efficient and cleaned up afterwards. It made for a really special evening. Thanks Pat!

We recently had the pleasure of hosting a private dinner with Chef Andrew Siebert, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first bite to the final spoonful of dessert, every course was a masterclass in flavor, balance, and presentation.

Beyond the incredible food, the entire experience was seamless and professional. Every dish was thoughtfully explained, beautifully plated, and served with warmth and care. It felt like having a five-star restaurant in the comfort of our own home.

If you’re considering a private chef experience, don’t hesitate to contact Chef Andrew Siebert — this was truly an unforgettable evening of culinary artistry. ⭐️

Chef Céline was very kind and professional! She curated a special menu for my entire group of 16 and was very flexible with dietary restrictions and preferences. She gave us local dishes and explained/presented them beautifully. She was very communicative and the food was absolutely delicious!! She spoke both French and English with us. Couldn’t recommend her more.

Chef Luis Morillo Arcila provided us with two fabulous experiences. On our arrival to Costa Rica he and his wife provided a large variety of finger foods - multiple cheeses, deli meats, and arepas to mention just a few. They also prepared a sit down dinner on a different evening with soup, fish and dessert. Every single item was delicious and we had plenty of leftovers. We were all so happy with our choice!
