An exceptional depiction, with a keen eye for detail and impeccable cleanliness. The food was simply amazing, and we had such generous portions that we happily savored the leftovers the next day. When you book a dining experience with Chef Michael, you'll be treated to a full and delightful meal of incredibly fresh and delicious dishes. Chef Michael's culinary skills are nothing short of extraordinary.
What a fabulous time we had! Jessie was professional, engaging and passionate, and delivered a fantastic 4 course meal for myself and 5 friends. The food prepared was simply exquisite and her genuine and naturally hospitable personality kept the evening easy but fun and very enjoyable. Couldn’t recommend this experience more or the feeling that the delicious food (and the cbd 😉) and Jessie gave us! Well done Jessie and thank you!!
Highly recommended. Exceptional food delivered on time, freshly prepared and with a smile! Guests at a corporate event were very pleased and wanted more!
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.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Chef Jojo's sushi platters through HOMETAINMENT, and it was truly a culinary masterpiece! Each sushi piece was a burst of exquisite flavor, meticulously crafted to perfection. The symphony of fresh ingredients, vibrant colors, and impeccable presentation elevated the dining experience to new heights. From traditional classics to innovative creations, Chef Jojo's sushi platters take you on a delightful culinary journey. I had the opportunity to choose four options from each section of the sample menu, and it was a tough decision because every option sounded fantastic. The sushi was not just a meal; it was a work of art. Chef Jojo's attention to detail and dedication to quality are evident in every bite. In particular, the Nigiri Sushi Platter showcased the freshness and quality of the ingredients. The Maguro Nigiri and Sake Nigiri were absolute highlights, offering a perfect balance of flavors. I was also pleasantly surprised by the Dragon Roll from the Maki Sushi Platter; the combination of eel and avocado was divine. The Temaki Sushi Platter added a unique touch to the experience. The Negitoro Temaki with chopped tuna belly and scallions was a delightful treat, and the Seared Beef Temaki was a true revelation. It's worth noting that Chef Jojo and the team were accommodating, providing an alternative for the Hamachi Nigiri due to supply shortages. Overall, I highly recommend Chef Jojo's sushi platters for any occasion. It's not just a meal; it's a memorable culinary journey that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy.
Hometainment orchestrated our family Christmas gathering, which consisted of eight people. They treated us to a delectable feast, featuring scrumptious turkey and salmon accompanied by all the traditional trimmings. The evening commenced with a delightful selection of canapés, and we concluded with a mouthwatering dessert that left our stomachs in a state of blissful satisfaction. The icing on the cake was the fact that Hometainment took care of the washing and cleaning up afterward, making it an even more enjoyable experience for us. Thanks to their exceptional service, my husband and I were able to enjoy our first truly relaxing family Christmas celebration. We are immensely grateful!
I highly recommend and will certainly return for future occasions. HOMEtainment came through for me not only during the hectic Christmas season, providing last-minute catering for my clients, but also for special milestone birthday gatherings with my family. Their service consistently maintained a top-notch 5-star quality, no matter the recipient. Their team is both helpful and friendly, matching us with fantastic chefs perfectly suited to our specific needs. I cannot emphasize enough how much I recommend them and how certain I am that I will use their services again.
We were very fortunate to have Mimi cater our wedding. From the get-go Mimi was super engaged, flexible and approachable. When it came to the actual weekend Mimi was a force of good-natured efficiency. She kept us aware of any issues that need our input but without adding to the inevitable last-minute wedding stress. She was even up at 4 AM checking on the slow cooking lamb! On the day it was all better than we could have hoped for. Everything was utterly delicious, but also and importantly for us not the standard wedding fare (apart from honey mustard sausages obvs). The Asian pork belly was a particular favourite canape of mine as was the tuna tartare. The lamb for the main was honestly the best I have had, and I know several typically non lamb-eating friends had to do some soul searching afterwards. I would recommend Mimi to anyone for whom food is a priority. She provides something a bit different (and in my experience better) that most catering companies, helping to create an atmosphere that will feel uniquely yours
