Sandra Acosta was the best chef for us. We had her for 4 nights and she was great!

Issam did an amazing job. The food was spectacular. He arrived early and stayed until everything was spotless! He cooked for us for NYE and all twelve people in attendance commented on what a great dinner it was. The presentation and the taste were all fantastic!

Chef Manuel Chalas delivered to my guests and I (we were 6 in total) a delicious New Year’s Eve dinner in the AirBnB penthouse we had rented in Dominicus (in Dominican Republic). It was a 4 courses meal. The salad served as appetizer and the main course were particularly good. The filet mignon and lobsters were cooked to perfection. Him and his assistant also provided and discrete and attentive service throughout the dinner. We also retained their services for a brunch the following day.

Alberto and his assistant were wonderful, had beautiful place settings and fine touches, communicated very well, and went out of his way to cater to our toddlers.

Tarsio was great. Food was great, excellent choice of ingredients and menu!

Take a chef helped make our family vacation absolutely amazing! We booked Two Chef Sisters for a week in Sosua and by the end of the vacation they practically felt like family. They were so attentive and incredible. The first night they made a salad that we all loved, and continued to make it for us even though it wasn't on the planned menu- they even taught my dad how to make the salad dressing. Our vacation would not have been the same without them. We will definitely be using Take a Chef and booking Two Chef Sisters in the future.

We had a wonderful experience with Chef Alejandro. It was our first time hiring a private chef for my wife’s birthday, and it was incredible. We will definitely book Chef Alejandro again. We highly recommend him — great food, great interaction, and he truly made the experience unforgettable.

Chef Lucian is amazing!

he is kind and professional and his food is absolutely delicious!

What an amazing experience!! The food was absolutely wonderful and DJ was so very interactive and personable!!!
The food was also amazing!

We loved everything!

Chef Tanya was incredible. She made incredible food, was so easy to work with and highly accommodating. She was able to work well in a not so great kitchen at our Airbnb but she managed execution flawlessly and made the evening so special. Will definitely be hiring Chef Tanya again!

Chef Michal prepared amazing fish dishes and a lemon tarte dessert. He was very polite and professional and explained each dish. A memorable experience.

What a wonderful personalised evening with fantastic food. Authentic, fresh, well prepared and professionally presented. Well organised, extremely professional, but personable at the same time.

Chef Carlos and Lilli were amazing. Cooked an amazing meal with local ingredients and traditions for my family vacation. I especially loved that he explained each dish along with some history of the dish and taught us all about Portuguese wine, which he brought and was a perfect complement to the meal. Left the kitchen spotless, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Would highly recommend Chef Carlos!

Denis provided a fantastic experience, simply delicious food, great communication, cleaned up spotlessly and created altogether a wonderful experience.

Thank you!!

Our chef Leli Amalya Sari was amazing. Right from the start, great communcation, talked us through the choice of food for the menu and was super flexible when we wanted changes. Our chef arrived on Xmas Day and prepped everything for the nine adults at our villa, we did not lift a finger. Presentation was fabulous and each dish was well explained. One fo the group was non-meat and this was never a problem for the Chef and team.

The taste was amazing, high-end resturant quality food prepared, cooked and served at our villa on Xmas Day, we could not ask for more. And to top it off, the team washed and cleaned up everything.

Thank you Chef Leli Amalya Sari

Chef Carlos was incredible! Not only was the food delicious, but the presentation was phenomenal and Chef Carlos himself was a dream to work with! Our whole family absolutely loved his service and will absolutely be seeing him again. Chef Carlos's menu was cozy, thoughtful and vibrant. Perfect for a "day after Christmas" brunch. Seriously, I can't say enough great things. 100/10!

I was worried when booking this ,but how wrong could I be. The chef was amazing the food was just Mitchlen star restaurant food but at your own home. The service was amazing cleaned up afterwards it was just what we needed. Highly recommend using Jeremy and his team.

We had an amazing experience with our chef James at my wife’s 40th birthday celebration. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully prepared, and perfectly suited for our family of 10. Every course was cooked to perfection, and James was professional, friendly, and attentive throughout the evening. It truly made the celebration special and unforgettable. Highly recommended!

A Truly Exceptional Private Chef Experience from Take a Chef

We had an unforgettable 50th anniversary dinner thanks to our private chef, Laurence Cohen. Not only was he an excellent chef, but also a very personable individual.

He prepared a Kosher meal for us of braised short ribs with root vegetables, which were absolutely outstanding—rich, tender, and full of depth. Dessert
was just as impressive: a sumptuous chocolate mousse that had every guest utterly charmed.
Our entire group raved about the food, but what made the night truly luxurious was the seamless experience from start to finish. Having someone prepare a beautiful meal, serve each course with care, and then leave the kitchen spotless allowed us to simply relax and enjoy our time together. It felt like a gift.

If you’re looking for a chef who delivers incredible service for a stress‑free, elevated dining experience, I can highly recommend Chef Laurence. Thank you, Chef, for making our experience so memorable!

Great food, excellent service and a great couple to have around at our place.
