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.

Fantastic 3-course menu served by Rafael and a colleague, who elevated my 40th birthday to an extraordinary level. Rafael accommodated the wishes I had for the menu, arrived on time, and brought everything he needed along with beautiful plates for serving. Food was to be served to 27 guests, and this took place at a suitable pace, where everyone received their food simultaneously. The kitchen was spotless afterwards. Both us and the guests were extremely excited about the experience, and the food was excellent. Warmest recommendations from here.

Rafael came, therefore and succeeded! My friend and I did a little research, but ended up hiring Rafael for our 2x50 years birthday dinner with the guys. There were 8 of us and we had selected 4 fantastic dishes from Rafael's large catalog - everything was completely as we had hoped for. Super delicious gourmet food, like at high-end restaurants - but in a cozy home atmosphere with bright sunshine and lawn games, while the food was being prepared. Rafael arrived as agreed, is really easy to communicate with, smiling, present, and at the same time very discreet actually. Several of the guests didn't even notice that he came and got started. I can highly recommend Rafael - both for his sublime culinary skills, but also for his entire demeanor and presence. He will be hard to do without when/if we try this concept again 🤗
