- The price per person decreases as the number of guests increases, making it more affordable for larger groups.
- Book early: Booking your private chef well in advance gives you more time to discuss your preferences and budget, allowing you to secure the best chef at the best price. This also avoids premium prices during high-demand seasons and holidays or weekends.

Irina
Tout s'est très bien passé. Chef Mickael était présent avec nous lors d'une fête d'anniversaire. Le menu qu'il a choisi a été respecté de manière exemplaire. Tout ce qu'il avait préparé était vraiment délicieux. L'ambiance est vraiment géniale. Il nous a fait part de manière chaleureuse de son travail. La soirée que nous avons passée ensemble était vraiment magnifique.

Merci encore Cédric pour cet excellent moment. Nous referons volontiers appel à vos services si nous repassons dans la région. Ce fut une super première expérience pour nous tant au niveau de l'organisation de ce repas que de la dégustation de vos plats délicieux ! Et merci d'avoir adapté le menu pour nos enfants, ils étaient ravis eux aussi.

Un grand merci au chef Rebeca qui a été plus qu'à la hauteur de nos attentes. L'ambiance et les saveurs d'Espagne nous ont accompagné tout le long de notre événement. Les divers plats très très copieux et merveilleusement bons nous ont régalés. Je recommande à 100% si vous voulez une chef talentueuse, souriante et à la fois discrète !

Vous pouvez faire appel au Chef Johann Schopff les yeux fermés! Une très belle expérience pour un anniversaire de mariage (7 personnes). Les plats sont très biens présentés, bien travaillés et les produits de qualité. Nous nous sommes régalés. Un très bon rapport qualité prix. Bref : au top, à renouveler!

Donderdag 28 augustus heeft Wilco een fantastisch walking diner bij ons thuis in de tuin verzorgd voor 11 personen. Na 3 heerlijke amuses kregen we een tartaar van tonijn met coquilles gevolgd door kabeljauwfilet met gamba saus. Daarna zijn signature gerecht de risotto met zomertruffel. Deze mag inderdaad niet ontbreken want je wil graag een extra portie. Ook het sateetje van waygu beef en het gemarineerde rood fruit als nagerecht waren beide heel smaakvolle gerechten in het menu. Wij waren enthousiast over het eten en de bediening maar ook van onze gasten hebben wij hierover complimenten gekregen. Wij hebben Wilco inmiddels gevraagd voor een volgend diner thuis. Wij kunnen hem ten zeerste aanbevelen. Top eten op Michelin niveau van een leuke kok.
Chloe
Nous avons passé un excellent moment grâce au chef Dehaye. Tout s’est très bien déroulé, des premiers échanges via l’application, en passant par le repas en lui même et la cuisine nickel après le passage du chef. Gérard est très agréable, discute volontiers avec les invités, donne des explications sur les plats servis, tout en sachant se faire discret. Il ne fait nul doute que Gérard est passionné par son métier et a à cœur de faire plaisir avec sa cuisine généreuse et gourmande. Nous ferons appel à lui sans hésiter a l’avenir.
