It was surely a dinner to remember! Thanks so much for organising! Chef Rene was fantastic and our guests left happy. The dishes were elegant and delicious, which they are what you would find in any 5-star French Restaurant. Michael, the waiter was also great and experienced! He was always there when we needed him. Thanks to MobiChef for an amazing experience. I will definitely book again!

Chef Rene was cheerful, helpful and very accommodating. The dinner; pea soup with truffle, quail with foie gras, rack of lamb, and creme caramel and hot fondant chocolate cake, was flawless and as good as anything in a Michelin star restaurant. We could not have been more delighted and will certainly be inviting Rene back in the future.

Thanks for bringing the French restaurant experience to my home. Chef Rene made sure that we had everything we need and we also appreciated to make everything so perfect and neat. Rene came over to my house 2.5 hours earlier to prepare; from a personalised explanation of the full run-down, to the amazing presentation. Food was unexpectedly delicious and both Rene & the staff (Alexis) were fabulous too. Working in a unfamiliar kitchen and limited kitchen supplies, Chef Rene stood up to truly high levels of skills & professionalism to deliver the same level (or high level) of 5 star hotel French Cuisine. The only room for improvement is that he couldn’t read the Japanese/Chinese instructions on my oven.

Chef Rene was amazing. We had short fuse so many times and the oven stopped working so many times too. It must be very frustrating for him. But he kept his cool and delivered delicious dinner! All the guests were happy.

The food was overall good but not outstanding. We expected a bit more with this pricing . The big disappointment was the souffle, which tasted like it wasn't fully cooked in the middle. I asked the Chef and he said he "purposely made it moist". Anyway, he was pleasant and worked hard, so it's OK.
