Stories & Testimonials

We had an incredible experience with our private chef for my dad’s birthday. The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Chef Luis was punctual, professional, and very personable, making the whole evening feel special and relaxed. The pasta lesson was a highlight too, fun, engaging, and the evening as a whole is something we’ll always remember. Highly recommend!

Ruth Steeves

Chef Luis and his Assistant did an amazing job wowing all 15 of us foodies this past weekend! From planning the menu right through to the execution of the evening was a great experience. Lots of attention to detail and then the clean-up and organization of leftovers at the end of the night was a +++plus! THANK YOU Chef Luis!

Kelly Fagundes

Chef Luis was amazing from beginning to end! He prepared three separate dinners for us. This was challenging because we had 6 adults and 5 young children. It didn’t faze Chef Luis! He was excellent at feeding the children, as well as the adults. The final meal was a four-course plated meal with a printed menu. The presentation of each dish was incredible. He was attentive to our food preferences and produced incredible meals with lots of leftovers for the future. Chef Luis will not disappoint.

Thanks to Chef Luis, my husband's 69th birthday became an unforgettable experience. Every detail—from the beautifully plated dishes to the seamless service—reflected Chef Luis’s passion and professionalism. The menu was a masterpiece. Each course was thoughtfully curated, bursting with flavor, and tailored to our tastes —a true testament to the chef’s artistry. Thank you chef for turning a milestone into a memory and hosting with warmth, grace, and genuine joy. We’ll be talking about this celebration for years to come!

Chef Luis was a wonderful Chef to work with! I was needing a chef for my sisters bachelorette party and chose to work with Chef Luis. He was super thoughtful in the menu and fully committed to the theme and overall vibe we were looking for. He curated a menu that was exactly tailored to the bride-to-be’s flavour preferences. He was easy to chat with and had a timely response time! I absolutely would recommend Chef Luis for any event!

Alanna D'Angelo

Chef Luis delivered a wonderful experience and really went above and beyond my expectations. The food was outstanding and the presentation was beautiful! We still talk about how much we enjoyed every component. I HIGHLY recommend the charcuterie board to start as well. However, what really stood out to us was his attention to detail together with how intentional every component of the night was as this truly provided a very special evening. He was even so generous to include our infant in the dinner with age appropriate foods. Thank you Chef Luis for a beautiful night!
