I'd gone to a Chef Upstairs event a few years ago, and always kept them in mind as it was a great…read moreexperience. They offer various services and events, and I recalled as well that they also do kids camps. Over the past couple years, my daughter has taken a big interest in cooking. And not just a fleeting interest, but consistently enjoys watching cooking shows and wanting to participate in cooking at home. As we were planning summer camps this year, I thought we should try to finally give her a chance to live her dream a bit and attend a week here. She's gone to a city-run one before. Though she quite enjoyed it, it was fairly simple. At The Chef Upstairs, they are in a full commercial kitchen with gas stoves, deep fryers and a whole bunch of other things you'd expect from a real kitchen. They have a firm belief that kids can learn safely - in fact, the safest thing is to expose them and provide proper technique. And they're not just making things like a deli meat roll up wrap, but full-on multi-course meals (they make breakfast and lunch) and from recipes from all around the world. You should look at the menus they post on their site for the kids camps. It was a bit of a sacrifice for us as we do not live nearby. That said, they have two locations, so a number of people are well-situated if near Vaughan and midtown Toronto. It's also a bit more money than many other kids camps - though its apparent with the food costs and the high staffing ratio that it's still good value. Ultimately, it was well worth it. My daughter loved it and truly lived out a dream and learned a lot. The highlight for her was the week long prep leading up to the Iron Chef-esque competition where they planned their own full menu. I'm thrilled that The Chef Upstairs lived up and even exceeded our already high expectations and truly made a lifetime memory for our daughter.

You will taste the love…read more Pino came to our home and from start to finish he was professional, courteous, and genuine. Pino took such meticulous care in preparing our meal it was absolutely beautiful to watch him, each dish was a work of art, a work of pride. Pino encouraged us to ask questions and he showed us his tips with such a generous spirit, to say he made our meals would be a terrible injustice and understatement, he created a beautiful atmosphere and he made our night. Pino came into our home fully prepared - a true professional. Every dish was bursting with flavour, timely and beautifully presented and when he left, he left our kitchen spotless - like he was never even here. Magic. I definitely recommend Pino to anyone wanting a great experience with a personal chef, I guarantee you will taste the love in every dish.

The food was AMAZING - our guests loved the appetizers and the main course was delicious. Would absolutely hire them again in the future.

Food is a form of artistic expressions. Imagine a private dining experience in a form of a theater…read more Our chef the director and also the play wright Chef Eyal Liebman and our Sommelier Rebecca Meir both have a new modern approach towards dining and wine pairing. The sets are the candles & floral table settings. The plot lines are the wines. The orchestra is the creation of the dishes preparing in front of you. The acts & scenes are the courses. The actors & actresses are the ingredients. The script is the conversation and the educational facts Chef Eyal & Rebecca teaches you during the dinner.

Chef Eyal and Rebecca will continuously educate you interesting fun facts about food & wines during the dinner. Like do you know that almond is act a fruit not a nut?! How interesting is that ! I have to admit... I never had frog before and was kind of scared of trying it... But it turned out to be really good actually . And... Wow I'm in love with the 8 year old steer tenderloin . As for the wine, though I enjoy wine and stuff, but I personally love the grape Gewürztraminer, always have a good experience with it and my eyes sparkled when I saw that bottle . There are also a few grapes I do like.

I'm not sure how we got THISSSS LUCKY!!!!…read more Cheff Liebman and Sommelier Rebecca delivered an OUTSTANDING experience. I was blown away from their level of professionalism and excellence throughout every stage. They were faced with the challenge of paring a vegan/non vegan 6 course meal and having wine that goes well with all the flavors. Every dish they created was absolutely perfect. The taste and the execution of the dishes followed by explanations of why each wine and each food was used was so interesting. This wasn't only food, they created the best atmosphere and they gave us so many valuable lessons/knowledge/facts about food and wine. Service is just unbelievable! Most of all chef and somm helped me create one of the best memories. They were the easiest to deal with. Truly EXEPTIONAL.. AMAZING!!! 10/10 food 10/10 wine 10/10 knowledge 10/10 experience 10/10 GREAT PEOPLE I cannot thank them enough. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a 1 of a kind experience and work with the most kind hearted people.

Always smiling they greet each guest and even stepped up to help elderly guests get their food. They are genuinely kind and professional. As a condo association we get 5 quotes from local caterers for this event. 2K Elite is always the best value. You simply can't do better. Thank you , Vikas, for bringing us your magic once again.

I was not aware there was this type of takeout available where you bring in your own containers to…read moreget your food in. It's a great idea since this cuts down on a lot of waste with the one time use styrofoam or plastic non-recyclable containers. You can asked to be placed on their email distribution list and they'll send you a list of what dishes they'll be making in certain days. You call ahead to place your order and are given a number. When you get there you tell them your number and provide them with your containers for the food. It seems as though a lot of people leave their containers and bags there and gone back to pick up their food later. There were 2 shelves filled with environmental bags. The food is tasty and not too salty or greasy unlike a lot of other takeout places.

This review is for frozen dim sum only…read more Overall - 4 stars. I had craved dim sum for a while now but had been reluctant to dine out nor bother to drive all the way to get takeout weekly, so I opted to buy a batch of frozen dim sum from this vendor last weekend. I heard of this vendor via referral of a friend. The frozen dim sum I chose were all of the "steam" nature, as I believed they would be easier to prepare. I called the vendor. Jennifer sent a text message with a link to an online form to me, along with pictures of the menu. The actual ordering was straight forward, just selected a picture and the quantity. The total cost was displayed at end of ordering. The prices were inclusive of sales tax, so there was no surprise or mental mathematics required. Jennifer replied by email soon after acknowledging the order and the pickup time. When I arrived at store, I rang a bell and waited at the entrance lobby as part of the Covid 19 protocol. A lady asked for my name and order. Jennifer counted the quantity in person with me to confirm everything ordered was in the bag. Money changed hands and the transaction was completed smoothly and professionally. 5 stars for process. I steamed the dim sum. I estimated that the quality and size were on par with the "flat price" dim sum at restaurants, and definitely better quality than the frozen ones from grocery stores. The Chai Siu Bao and Chiu Chow Dumplings were particularly delicious. The regular Shrimp Dumplings were fresh but small (there is a jumbo size Shrimp Dumpling available for ordering should you desire). The Siu Mai were smaller than expected. 3 stars for food. The pricing of everything I chose was way cheaper than restaurants, so the value was justified. 4 stars for value.
