This weekend I had the pleasure of hiring Mirko for my birthday party at home, and I can’t speak highly enough about the experience! From the moment he arrived, his rm demeanor set a welcoming tone for the evening. He took the time to interact with my guests, sharing stories about the dishes and engaging everyone in delightful conversations, which truly added to the celebratory atmosphere.
The food s simply incredible! Every dish s a work of art, not only beautifully presented but bursting with flavor. Mirko tailored the menu to accommodate my preferences and dietary restrictions (vegetarian and lactose free for one guest) demonstrating exceptional skill and creativity with each course. The appetizers were mouthwatering, and the main course s nothing short of divine. As Mirko prepared the food right in my kitchen, it felt like a personalized culinary show. His passion for food s evident, and it made the whole experience feel special and intimate. Everyone raved about the meal long after the meal s over.
If you're considering a private chef for an event, I wholeheartedly recommend Mirko. His culinary talents combined with his engaging personality created an unforgettable evening. Thank you, Mirko, for making my birthday so memorable!
We had an amazing girl’s night thanks to ChefMaison! The booking and the planning were super easy, great support from the start. Chef Pablo s friendly and professional, and the food s absolutely delicious. Every dish looked and tasted amazing. It felt like a fancy restaurant at home. We all had good time and we will definitely book again for other events. Highly recommend!!
Bryan did an amazing job while making super tasty food. Everyone (6 people) enjoyed the 3 course meal he made, and also the vegetarian options were amazing. Four of us had a wineparing with the food. Bryan could l us everything about the products he used. We highly recommend to hire Bryan for the job, he’s an amazing chef!
I’m honestly unsure where all the positive reviews come from. I signed up to cater and received a booking for a dinner, yet I s provided with no essential information, no address and no client contact details. As someone new to the platform, this left me unsure how to proceed.
Without the ability to confirm details or communicate with the client, it’s impossible to prepare or move forward professionally.
Unfortunately, this experience has been very disappointing and felt like a complete ste of time. Based on this, I would not recommend this platform to other chefs.
Chef Ivan and his partner Camille made an outstanding four course meal for my family on our holiday to Antibes. They were easy to coordinate with and a professional delight onsite. I highly recommend hiring them.
We hired Chef Nicolas Lanette in Provence this week and he s great. A really enjoyable few evenings of great meals and fun with our large group of family while we’re away. We didn’t know how to go about arranging it, but ChefMaison s easy, Nicolas s very communicative and the food s outstanding. Definitely recommend!
We found Chef Maeva Chiappe through the ChefMaison platform, and the initial communication and menu planning went very smoothly. We confirmed and paid for our reservation on May 20, 2025, for two dinners planned for June 16 and June 19 for a group of five people.
On the day of the first dinner (June 16), we received a message from the chef saying she had an issue and asked to reschedule to the next day. We agreed and arranged a specific time for the following evening.
However, less than 30 minutes before the scheduled dinner on June 17, we reached out to confirm the arrival time—only to be informed that the dinner s being canceled and we would be refunded. We were extremely disappointed with this unprofessional and last-minute cancellation, especially as it s a planned group event and we had not been proactively informed.
What’s worse, the cancellation happened so late that we had to completely change our evening plans at the last minute. Since everything s already organized around the dinner, it caused us significant inconvenience and stress to find an alternative solution on such short notice. This disrupted our event and had a direct impact on the experience we had planned for our group.
We immediately contacted the ChefMaison platform, through which the booking s made. It took three days to receive a reply, and even then, the response offered no solution—only an apology. We reached out two more times since then and have not received any response to this day.
As for the chef, despite promising a refund, she has gone silent and has not responded since July 7, 2025.
After all this, we left a negative review about the chef on the ChefMaison platform—and guess what? It s deleted. So unfortunately, you can't trust what you see on their site in terms of ratings or reviews.
This has been a very unpleasant experience that completely disrupted our plans, and we would not recommend this service to others.
We had the pleasure of getting Chef Terenzio for our anniversary when the full Amsterdam s in lockdown. And what an experience it s! Our Italian chef s on time, extremely respectful of our space and left it cleaner than before. The food s Mama Mia!! It is by far one of the best ravioli I have had. The starter, main course and desert were worth more than the price charged and we even had leftovers for next day. Overall a 5 star experience in the comfort of our home.
A very good experience
We had the best night with Terenzio. He is very kind and made sure we had nothing to worry about during dinner. During the preparations it s nice that Terenzio offered different options for the menu, so that all dietary requirements were taken into account. The food itself s great, very high quality and more than enough for everyone. Afterwards he left the kitchen cleaner than how it s before he started. I would definitely recommend Terenzio.
