The meal was absolutely delicious - top notch, beautiful presentation and chef Christian is very talented. All our guests throughly enjoyed the experience and I’d definitely recommend Hometainment and chef Christian.

Chef Theo created the most stunning grazing table for our garden party. It became the centrepiece of the entire event and our guests could not stop talking about it. Everything looked elegant, tasted amazing, and was thoughtfully presented with incredible attention to detail. The canapés were outstanding and the setup made the whole event feel effortless.

This was an exceptional fine dining experience! I recently celebrated my birthday with my siblings, and Caroline and Guilherme prepared a truly wonderful lunch for us. I must admit, I was initially a bit apprehensive, as I had never tried anything like this before. However, I couldn't have been happier with how it all turned out. Caroline and Guilherme were delightful hosts, and their culinary skills were outstanding. We indulged in a delightful 6-course tasting menu, savoring each course with great enthusiasm. Initially, I thought this would be a one-time experience when I arranged it, but I'm already contemplating when I can repeat it. I cannot speak highly enough of Caroline and Guilherme - their expertise made this birthday celebration truly memorable.

Thank you Antoine@Hometainment for an incredibly professional service you recently provided assigning Chef Michael and Prince who brilliantly executed the English and Italian buffet experience. Chef came fully prepared ensuring everything was on time with enough food and loads leftover. Overall, an amazing evening with good food and company. No doubt I will be back!

We booked Chef Theo for a private anniversary dinner at home and the entire experience exceeded expectations. The food was beautifully presented, incredibly fresh, and felt like dining in a luxury restaurant without leaving the house. Theo was professional, warm, and made our guests feel completely at ease throughout the evening. The sharing-style menu worked perfectly for our group and every dish was exceptional.
