Five Pillars — With Evidence
1. Michelin-trained leadership
Adriano trained under a Michelin-starred chef in Milan, and his standards set the floor for every dish. This isn't a logo on a page — it's a team of eight named chefs, each with a published speciality, from live-fire BBQ (Bayu Pranata) to wellness retreat menus (Sari Dewi Kusuma). Meet every chef →
50+ local chefs, servers, bartenders and event staff — employed, vetted, background-checked and trained in-house. When you book myCHEF, you book a company that answers for the evening, not an individual you hope shows up.
3. Speed you can plan around
WhatsApp enquiries answered within 2 hours; itemised proposals within 24 hours; same-day confirmation where possible. Bali trips move fast — so do we.
4. Built for villas, not restaurants
Villa kitchens vary wildly, timings slip, weather changes plans. Menus flex for dietary needs, kids and last-minute requests without drama — and the kitchen is left spotless, every time. That operational discipline is why villa managers recommend us to their guests.
5. Guarantees in writing
- Chef replacement guarantee — if your chef can't make it, a verified replacement arrives within 2 hours or you receive a 100% refund
- Transparent terms — a deposit confirms your booking , prices always quoted ++ (11% government tax + 10% service charge), groceries at cost with receipts
- Transparent pricing published online →

What Guests Say
"Our wedding dinner for 42. Dinner landed exactly on schedule, the waiters were warm and calm, and our parents are still talking about the lamb and truffle jus." — Harper, Uluwatu, January 2026
"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." — Amelia, Canggu, April 2025

Frequently Asked Questions
Is myCHEF a company or a marketplace?
A company. Every chef and server is part of our in-house team — we don't broker strangers.
What happens if something goes wrong on the day?
We fix it on the spot. If a chef is unavailable, a replacement of equivalent calibre arrives within 2 hours — same menu brief, same standard — or you receive a 100% refund.
Why do guests book again?
98% of bookings are repeat or referred. The pattern in reviews is consistent: fast replies, calm service, food that exceeds the setting, kitchens left cleaner than found.
Do you only do fine dining?
No — the same team cooks poolside BBQs, family dinners, retreat meal plans and weddings for up to 200 guests. See all services →
