Chef Miguel Martins
🇬🇧 United Kingdom
Reviewed by Martyn Harriss · 2025-11-29
This was a new experience. I wanted to celebrate a special birthday, but wasn’t sure what to do. So I found Chef Miguel Martins through ChefMaison. From the initial contact he was helpful and professional, suggesting menus and helping me to decide. I chose the menu for a family celebration. The day arrived Chef Miguel arrived, as promised and delivered a superb meal with canapés. The quality, taste and delivery was equally as good as a fine dining restaurant, but at a brilliant price. Not only did Miguel cook for us, he explained the dishes, was attentive throughout and cleared up afterwards. He left our kitchen spotless. So we had the great restaurant experience in the comfort of our home. He catered for different dietary requirements and made sure we were left to enjoy our evening! I cannot fault the experience or Chef Miguel and I will certainly make use of this in future and I would not hesitate to recommend Chef Miguel to my friends and family. It was brilliant! Thank you!

Amazing evening with Joy for a special surprise for my mother in law’s 60th birthday celebrations. From the get go, had great communication with Joy for the menu choices. On the night, the food was incredible - well presented, so tasty and a lot of variety. Overall service was fabulous with Joy leaving everything so clean. Could not recommend any more!

Johann Schopff
🇫🇷 France
Reviewed by Emilie Kovacs · 2024-12-22
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!

Chef Gérard Dehaye
🇫🇷 France
Reviewed by Chloe Brand · Invalid Date
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.

Thanks for the dinner of yesterday, it was amazing! I can’t wait to eat again this tuna tataki, we really loved it. Let’s stay in touch for next summer in Ibiza.

Chef Divmino Pinas
🇳🇱 The Netherlands
Reviewed by Kevin Dur · Invalid Date
Divmino heeft gezorgd voor een geslaagde avond! Ik had Divmino gevraagd om naar een strandhuisje te komen, wat een behoorlijk stukje sjouwen met de spullen was. En er waren beperkte keukenmiddelen. Dit heeft hem niet tegehouden om heerlijk eten op tafel te zetten. Daarnaast waren de gerechten bijpassend als menu en in hoeveelheid precies goed. Er was ook nog een collega van Divmino bij, die de gerechten uit serveerde dit gaf een erg luxe gevoel. En beide waren erg sociaal en wisten op de juiste momenten stil te zijn om de avond voor ons toch nog intiem te laten voelen. Al met al een aanrader voor iedereen.

Chef Terenzio Ignoni

Ontzettend leuk om thuis een avondje 'uit eten' te gaan. Chef Terenzio Ignoni heeft ons allerlei heerlijke Italiaanse gerechten voorgeschoteld. Een echte aanrader!

Chef Terenzio Ignoni
🇳🇱 The Netherlands

een bijzondere avond om de 60e verjaardag van mijn vrouw en ons 20 jaar samenzijn te vieren met vrienden en familie. Een Italiaans thema in eten & drinken. Terenzio heeft ervoor gezorgd dat wij vanaf het begin een goed gevoel hadden. Erg fijne communicatie, goed meedenken en op de dag zelf geen enkele zorg. Terenzio en zijn team vinden de weg en begrijpen wat er nodig is om de avond te doen slagen. Wat een heerlijk eten en sfeer met Italiaanse professionaliteit! Ook in kosten en zakelijkheid prettig geregeld. Absolute aanrader deze Italiaanse topper!

Geweldig genoten hebben wij van het fantastische diner verzorgd door Vincent. Gabriel deed de service aan tafel. We zijn echt in de watten gelegd. Een ooie herinnering is gemaakt. Contact vooraf was heel prettig zo ook tijdens het diner.

Chef Wilco van den Baar
🇳🇱 The Netherlands
Reviewed by Stefan Vreeburg · Invalid Date
Het regelen van een chef via chefmaison was erg gemakkelijk. De site was overzichtelijk opgezet en er worden duidelijke voorwaarden gegeven waar de chef aan zal voldoen. De avond zelf met Chef Wilco van den Baar was geweldig. Bijzondere gerechten en sterke wine pairing. Enorme aanrader. Erg tevreden!! Ga zo door.

Every week you are surprising me with new delicious dishes, and always even better than the week before. Thank you so much!

Chef Wilco van den Baar
🇳🇱 The Netherlands
Reviewed by Mathilde Aarnink · Invalid Date
Direct contact met de chef via het platform. Kan het menu naar je eigen wensen invullen. Gelijk duidelijkheid over de kosten. Maar het belangrijkste, een ongelooflijk mooie en goeie ervaring! Nu 2 keer gedaan, beide voelde het alsof je echt uit eten bent en de kwaliteit is zeer hoog! Daarbij werkt het platform ook erg fijn! Kan Chef Maison alleen maar aanraden komt voor mij als geroepen in deze tijd :)

Chef Wilco van den Baar
🇳🇱 The Netherlands
Reviewed by Joop Saan · Invalid Date
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.
