Stories & testimonials

Hugo is professional, very talented chef made our Madrid trip unforgettable. Whole menu was created balanced and well paired. We celebrated my husband birthday with chef dinner, we invited Hugo to the apartment while we were out, so he is fully trustful! He came and cooked everything in advance, served table and surprise was so good set. Hugo is a good chef and we enjoyed every minute of our dinner, being chef and owner of a restaurant in Istanbul I highly appreciated his effort. Highly recommended! Thank you Hugo

Hemos quedado muy contentos con la experiencia. Hugo es un gran profesional, se ve que le imprime pasión y dedicación a lo que hace y que se preocupa porque todo salga perfecto. La comida estaba ríquisma y la atención del camarero Johnathan fue de 10, también. Totalmente recomendable.

Fue mi primera experiencia con Take a Chef y no podría estar mas satisfecha. Hugo fue un verdadero profesional: atención impecable y calidad de servicio excepcional. La cena fue un éxito rotundo; a todas nos encanto, y la tarta de queso nos dejo sin palabras. Recomendaría a Hugo al 100%
