Testimonials
From weddings to long-table villa dinners, these are the details guests remember.
“We booked myCHEF for our first night in Bali and it set the tone for the whole trip. Chef Bayu adjusted the menu for our gluten-free guest without making it feel like a compromise. The snapper, sambal and the way they left the kitchen spotless felt unbelievably polished.”
Olivia
Seminyak villa
“We had grandparents, toddlers and two very fussy eaters, so I expected some friction. Instead the chef paced the courses perfectly, made a separate kids pasta on request and still delivered a dinner that felt elegant for the adults.”
Theo
Nusa Dua family villa
“My wife had no idea what was planned. The team set up the table by the pool, built a four-course menu around her favourite flavours and had a small dessert waiting with a card. She cried in the best way.”
James
Sanur beachside villa

Seminyak villa
“We booked myCHEF for our first night in Bali and it set the tone for the whole trip. Chef Bayu adjusted the menu for our gluten-free guest without making it feel like a compromise. The snapper, sambal and the way they left the kitchen spotless felt unbelievably polished.”
Nusa Dua family villa
“We had grandparents, toddlers and two very fussy eaters, so I expected some friction. Instead the chef paced the courses perfectly, made a separate kids pasta on request and still delivered a dinner that felt elegant for the adults.”
Sanur beachside villa
“My wife had no idea what was planned. The team set up the table by the pool, built a four-course menu around her favourite flavours and had a small dessert waiting with a card. She cried in the best way.”
Canggu pool villa
“We have stayed in Canggu multiple times and this was genuinely the best meal of any trip. The pasta was handmade, the branzino was perfectly cooked, and the chef worked around two coeliacs and a nut allergy without reducing the ambition of the menu at all. We booked again before we left.”
Clifftop villa, Uluwatu
“We needed a wedding team that could handle sunset timing, dietary notes and a very small villa kitchen. myCHEF made it look effortless. Dinner landed exactly on schedule, the waiters were warm and calm, and our parents are still talking about the lamb and truffle jus.”
Jimbaran garden villa
“The welcome party was where we actually got to relax because myCHEF handled everything. They coordinated service, cleared glasses quickly and kept the buffet looking fresh all night. Guests thought we had hired a full hotel team.”
Seminyak private villa
“Our wedding had 80 guests across multiple nationalities. myCHEF handled welcome canapés, a four-course plated dinner and a late-night grazing station without a single moment of visible chaos.”
Ubud
“Our retreat group had vegan, high-protein and no-dairy requests all at the same table. Every meal still felt abundant and beautiful. Adriano's team understood exactly how to keep food nourishing without making it boring.”
Berawa
“We booked breakfast, lunch and an evening canape service for our company offsite. Menus changed every day, portions were generous and the communication on timing was excellent.”
Tabanan
“The closing dinner felt like the emotional finale our retreat needed. Long table, candlelight, beautifully plated food and a service team that read the room perfectly. Guests asked for the WhatsApp number before dessert was finished.”
Canggu
“This was supposed to be a relaxed birthday lunch and it ended up feeling like a private resort event. The grazing starters disappeared in minutes, the seafood grill was excellent and the bartender kept everything moving without ever being intrusive.”
Pererenan
“We had a mixed group of Australian and Indonesian families and the catering team put together a menu that bridged both perfectly — Indonesian bites alongside very good mezze and fresh salads. Everything disappeared fast.”
Ubud
“Our leadership offsite needed meals that energised rather than slowed the group down. The chef built every meal around clean proteins and seasonal vegetables. The team were invisible when they needed to be and attentive when we needed refreshes.”

Third-party review profiles: . We publish every review here with a date, a location and an occasion so you can judge them the way we'd want to be judged.
Are these real reviews? Yes — each review names the occasion, guest count, location and month. We curate which appear here, but every one is from a real booking.
What is the 98% repeat-or-referred figure? The share of bookings that come from guests who booked before or were referred by someone who had. It's the number we watch closest.
Can I read reviews for my specific occasion or area? Yes — filter above by occasion (dinners, weddings, retreats, celebrations). Location pages carry their own area reviews, e.g. Uluwatu and Canggu.
How do I leave a review after my event? Your concierge shares a review link after service. Honest feedback — good or bad — is read by the whole team.
