Reviews of our chefs and caterers around Zurich

Chef Davide Lazzeri
🇨🇭 Switzerland
Reviewed by Jordan · 2025-10-12



We had the most amazing experience with Chef Davide! He came to our home and prepared a beautiful four-course dinner that completely exceeded our expectations. Every dish was delicious, beautifully plated, and perfectly timed. He was professional yet so friendly and made the evening feel special and relaxed. It was such a treat to enjoy a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of our own home. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make an occasion truly memorable!

Chef Paolo Ianzano
🇨🇭 Switzerland
Reviewed by Sonia · 2025-09-16

Chef Paolo was responsive from day 1 of me indicating my interest. It was not an easy dinner to prepare as we had within 6 of us, 2 young children, 1 senior and 3 adults. The experience was amazing, we were all full, happy and very satisfied. His excellent cooking left even my young picky eaters so full and if they had an extra stomach, would have managed to finish everything. He interacted with all of us with ease & was an absolute delight to have at home. I highly recommend Chef Paolo and would like to extend again my sincerest thanks for making my husband’s 50th birthday a memorable one.

Chef Nicolas Deschamps
🇨🇭 Sigriswil
Reviewed by Allie Belletti · 2025-07-22



The food and wine pairings were excellent. The first-course appetizers were delicious, and the pistachio gnocchi was a perfect 10/10. The tomahawk steak was meant to be cooked to medium but was slightly rare in the center. Otherwise, everything else was fantastic. Nico was incredibly professional and kind, and we truly appreciated both his attentiveness and the amazing food he prepared. We would be happy to book again in the future.

Chef Gérard Dehaye
🇫🇷 Colmar
Reviewed by Jonas · 2025-11-14
Wir hatten gestern das große Vergnügen, Chef Gérard als Privatkoch bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen – und der Abend hätte nicht besser sein können. Schon im Vorfeld beeindruckte er durch seine ausgesprochen schnelle und verlässliche Kommunikation. Die Menüfindung war bemerkenswert kundenorientiert: Er ist aufmerksam auf all unsere Wünsche, Vorlieben und Besonderheiten eingegangen und hat daraus ein stimmiges, individuelles Menü komponiert. Am Abend selbst überzeugte er nicht nur durch seine angenehme, ruhige Art, sondern vor allem durch seine kulinarische Präzision. Jeder Gang war geschmacklich perfekt ausbalanciert und zeugte von echter handwerklicher Klasse. Das gesamte Erlebnis wirkte durchdacht, harmonisch und professionell – ein rundum gelungener Abend, der uns allen in Erinnerung bleiben wird. Wir würden Chef Gérard jederzeit wieder buchen und können ihn uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Chef Paolo Ianzano
🇨🇭 Switzerland
Reviewed by Matthew · 2025-09-15
Chef Paolo was extraordinarily professional from our first interaction via text to the dinner service. He was extremely responsive, organized, and created an individualized menu that really knocked it out of the park. We had several changes after the menu was finalized, including adding a wine pairing, and he was gracious and accommodating. On the day of service, he arrived promptly, and had a very charming and engaging personality. His food was magnificent, and the attire evening was magical. If you are looking for a private chef in the greater Milan area, I would highly recommend Chef Palo. He is passionate, talented, driven, skilled, and very personable. Thank you, Chef!

Chef Simone Sorace
🇮🇹 Lezzeno
Reviewed by Aaron · 2025-09-08
We had the absolute pleasure of booking Chef Simone Sorace to cook for us during our stay in Lake Como, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, Chef Simone was professional, attentive, and an absolute joy to work with. The communication and coordination were seamless, and the service was impeccable. Every dish he prepared was beautifully presented and bursting with authentic Italian flavor — truly some of the best meals we’ve ever had. It felt like dining in a five-star restaurant from the comfort of our villa. Chef Simone’s passion for his craft shines through in every bite. We can’t recommend him highly enough and would book him again in a heartbeat!

Juste parfait, nourriture excellente, chef hyper sympa, ponctuel, attentionné, je recommande !

Chef Davide Lazzeri
🇮🇹 Menaggio
Reviewed by Joseph · 2025-09-04
Everything was tasty and professionally conducted. We asked for a pastry to end the meal with. The chef just bought pastries from a local store. This was a low point. The amount of cooking actually done was extremely low for the price point.

Chef Carla Perrin
🇫🇷 Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
Reviewed by antonin · 2025-08-03
Nous avons passé une semaine avec Carla à la maison et elle s’est occupé de trois repas par jour pour 11 personnes y compris des enfants. Elle a été tout simplement formidable. Une cuisine excellente, simple et innovante en même temps. Une vrai connaissance des produits et des cuissons parfaites. Totalement adaptable à nos goûts et nos horaires. Et pour couronner le tout dans une ambience d’une sympathie et d’un naturel hors pair.
