Rafael has really good reviews, and of course that also creates high expectations. He fully lived up to them!
We hired Rafael to cater the food for our silver wedding anniversary with around 50 guests, and it was a really good experience.
The communication along the way was easy and pleasant. Rafael was quick to respond, flexible, and great to work with.
And most importantly: The food was absolutely delicious! We were very satisfied, and several of our guests were also impressed, so they later asked for his contact details.
That is probably one of the best things you can say about a chef. 😊
We can warmly recommend Rafael and would use him again without hesitation.

This is the second time we have used Rafael, and that is because Rafael and his helper were professional, calm, friendly, polite, punctual and service-minded. It was truly a very good experience.

We had a fantastic experience and were extremely happy with both the food and the collaboration.
The food was truly delicious, beautifully presented and served sharing style, which was a perfect fit for our party and created a cozy and informal atmosphere around the tables. It also worked really well that the food was prepared in the open kitchen, so cooking became a natural part of the experience.
We also had serving staff included in the agreement, who were proactive, smiling and super efficient.
We can warmly recommend the entire team and would without a doubt use them again.
