Take a Chef Recenzje 2585

We hired Chef Dino and Chef Sarah to prepare a private dinner for my mom’s 60th birthday celebration at our Airbnb, and it was truly one of the best decisions we could have made for such a special milestone.

From the very beginning, Chef Dino was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, professional, timely, and clean. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted for the evening and curated a menu that felt both elevated and deeply personal. Communication leading up to the event was seamless, and everything was executed perfectly the night of. We didn’t have to lift a finger, just show up and enjoy.

Every single dish was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and clearly made with intention and care. His experience winning Season 8 of MasterChef truly came to light through the creativity and quality of each course. More importantly, Chef Dino created an experience that made my mom feel so celebrated and loved. He turned her birthday into a night that none of us will ever forget.

Chef Dino and Chef Sarah were an absolute pleasure to have in our space and brought such warmth and positive energy into the evening. We truly couldn’t recommend them more highly. If you are looking for a private chef experience that is flawless from start to finish, they are simply perfect.

Ritianne was fantastic. Easy to communicate with and very responsive. She prepared a 5 course meal for our party of four. It's was a surprise for my wife's birthday and everything was exceptional. Service, food, wine, clean up were all top notch. Really can't say enough good things about her. We have had many private chefs and she was at the top

Chef Victoria was amazing. We are still dreaming and drooling over the food. She is the best chef I have ever had. If I could take her every where with me to cook all my meals I would. Everybody raved about the food. Everyone was thoroughly impressed. She does a great job with dietary needs and accommodations. She worked with me on the menu to get me exactly what I needed. She cooked some of the best seafood I am my guests have ever had. Most of them said they didn’t like seafood until they had her food. I can’t say enough good things. If you are thinking about her pick her. She is the best. I’m so happy I went with her. She makes the best rum cake you have ever had and I have had it in the Caribbean. She cooks gluten free and you would never know it was gluten free. Everything we had was dairy and gluten free and you would have never known that.

We had such a great evening with Chef Nikos! The food was excellent and the wine pairing executed perfectly. He adapted to our rythme very well throughout the night and had many laugh with us. He adapted the menu well for 5 friends celebrating a special day after la long day of skiing. I strongly recommend Nikos to anyone, simply a great person and an equally great chef!

Magnifique expérience ! Notre cheffe était super , nous avons vraiment apprécié l’ expérience , et nous nous sommes régalés !
Merci Kazue !

Chef Jorge Sanabria is an amazing Chef and provides a 5-Michelin star service. Each course got better and better. I am still craving some of his meals from my event on Saturday. Thanks

Chef Georgina was incredible!

The food perfect, the communication brilliant, the menu options were varied, the attitude / personality / vibe on the night was exceptional!

Would highly rate Chef Georgina!

One of our hens said her pasta was the best pasta she had ever tasted in her whole entire life and begged to take the leftovers home with her

We booked Chef Elisabeth Den Boer through Take a Chef for a Valentine’s dinner at home and the whole experience exceeded expectations from start to finish.

Communication beforehand was clear and thoughtful — she tailored the menu to our preferences and handled all dietary considerations effortlessly. On the day, she arrived fully prepared, was warm and professional, and instantly made the evening feel special without ever being intrusive.

The food itself was outstanding. Each of the four courses was beautifully presented and perfectly balanced in flavour — restaurant-quality but with the comfort of being at home. You could really taste the quality of the ingredients and the care that went into every detail. She also explained each dish which added a lovely personal touch to the experience.

She left the kitchen spotless afterwards, which honestly felt like magic after such a refined meal.

If you’re considering a private chef experience, I would highly recommend Elisabeth — she turned our Valentine’s evening into a memorable occasion and we would absolutely book her again.

Chef Yve was fantastic, her food was delicious and she left our kitchen spotless. Would highly recommend!

This was absolutely best idea ever had and Chef Morgan was absolutely amazing. I have never had such a wonderful experience before in my life.

I can not rate the company really as all we did through them was get in contact with a couple of chefs. But I do give a resounding 5 STARS to chef JEANCARLO PEREZ!!
For Valentines day I wanted something different so 'Chef" put together an amazing 5 course lunch for my wife and I which include Lamb as the main.
He was well pre-prepared and allowed us to sit nearby and watch the master at work. He was personable, not at all haughty, and shared valuable insights with my wife who loves the kitchen as well.
Thank you Chef Perez for making this valentines and event to remember!!

Extremely disappointing private chef experience
We hired Chef Jessica to cater a private dinner at our home for our 25th wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, the experience was deeply unprofessional and the food quality was extremely poor.
She was scheduled to arrive at 10:00 to begin preparation. At 10:11, she messaged to say she would be there “in a few minutes”; however, she only arrived at 10:40. I waited for 30 minutes before leaving for a meeting, which I had communicated in advance.
Upon my return, she did not greet or introduce herself to me. She also failed to greet or introduce herself to our guests at the table, even after being invited to do so.
Throughout the event, she repeatedly mentioned that she had another appointment in Pretoria at 4pm and needed to rush off. This was inappropriate for a pre-booked private anniversary dinner and was clearly reflected in the rushed service, lack of attention, and poor execution.
Service and food were very disappointing: • Despite being instructed to use the plates already set on the table for plating, this was ignored.
• Appetisers were unacceptable:
– A single meatball served cold, very dry, and excessively chilli-heavy.
– A prawn crostini served on hard, stale bread, despite being toasted.
• Starters were average and lacked refinement.
• The main course (beef fillet) was dry, tough, sinewy, with a gummy glaze. Vegetables were average and the carrot purée was lumpy and poorly executed.
• Dessert was a chocolate mousse with extremely poor presentation, entirely unsuitable for a milestone celebration.
Both chefs had to be repeatedly told to clear dirty plates after each course, which should never need prompting and was very unprofessional.
Although kitchen clean-up was part of the agreement, she instead relied on my domestic helper to wash and clean, which was not agreed upon.
This was a terrible experience with genuinely poor food and service. I would not recommend this chef for any special occasion, particularly an important milestone event.

Chef Santiago Matias Romero hosted our elevated BBQ experience! Everything was sensational. His communication and flexibility with the menu was great. The taste, quality and presentation of the food was excellent. And to top it all off, our kitchen left sparkling clean. If you want a memorable night with fantastic food I highly recommend you book Chef Santiago Matias Romero. Thank you Chef, we will no doubt hire (and see) you again.

We booked Chef James from Take a Chef and it was the best decision
The process was smooth and we had a set menu curated for us by the chef based on our preferences and likes
We absolutely loved it he was such a great chef and a very lovely person who made sure everything is to our liking

Take a chef canceled on me the night before Valentine's day leaving me no options to get a reservation or find childcare. They sent a long, meaningless email and had the audacity to ask if I wanted to reschedule or receive a credit/voucher to use within one year. They honored my request for a refund. Would not recommend this service.

We had the most beautiful evening with Chef Ludovic and his assistant. From the moment they arrived, with their big smiles and easy, inspiring chats, everything just felt relaxed and special.

They moved so quietly and respectfully around the house that we honestly didn’t even notice they were there. Suddenly the table was perfectly set, the kitchen was organized, and incredible food started coming out. Every dish was amazing — refined, full of flavor, and truly felt like having a Michelin-star restaurant at home.

And when they left, the kitchen was spotless. It was like magic happened and then disappeared.

Such talent, such kindness, such elegance. We’re definitely repeating very soon 🤍

Chef Berenice was amazing! The food was fresh and had creative flare. Highly recommend

Chef Julio was wonderful! Every detail was carefully thought about. Meal was delicious and prepared with heart. I highly recommend Chef Julio! No one better!

Chef Berenice was superior in all ways! First, communication skills were wonderful before we arrived and even when she was on her way to our place. Had a wonderful variety of food to select from before we decided on the menu. She was timely and the food, from the appetizers to the dessert to the wine were all fantastic! The kitchen we had was not huge but you’d think she was cooking in a restaurant. Would definitely recommend and use again! Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and getting to chat some with the chef at the end. Thank you for this wonderful evening! The Malones

Absolutely unforgettable evening with Take a Chef thanks to the incredible talent of Master Chef Dino and Chef Sarah. Every course was beautifully plated, thoughtfully paired, and genuinely restaurant-quality—made even better by the warmth and professionalism they brought into our home. If you want a truly special, elevated dining experience, book them and follow @thegourmetrabbit—you’ll be talking about it long after the last bite.
