We Value Your Opinion

Torsten,
Thank you so much for the wonderful food at our wedding. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Our wedding was that much better because of your cooking.
Good luck in the future, and hope to be at another of your catered events.

First I would like to say that it was an amazing pleasure to meet you Torsten. I thoroughly enjoyed you sitting down with us and sharing various personal and family stories. I loved the fact that it wasn't simply business, but getting to know one another as well. You were my first experience at hiring a private chef and you set the bar extremely high for those who may follow in your footsteps. I would like to say we made a friend, Thank you!!! Now on to your food and art. I'm an avid foodie and love to experience new cuisines and all of the courses you cooked for us were top notch. You and your dishes were the highlight of our vow renewal ceremony. Each course had heart and I truly appreciated the fact that you took a bit of my heritage and placed it in the salad course. All the delicious flavors made my tastebuds want more. The presentation for each dish had personality and artistry. You are a true artist and if anyone is in search of a private chef, look no further. Every dollar spent is for a well worth dining experience and you will be craving his delicious cuisines ever after. I can not thank you enough for your services and friendship. You are Costa Rica.

Pura Vida and Vielen Dank so.

Being that my husband is from Costa Rica & we are big foodies, we had high expectations & demands for the food at our wedding ... Torsten and his team far EXCEEDED our expectations. The food was perfection & everything was beautifully presented. Our guests loved it and my only regret is that I didn't eat enough! Thank you Torsten & the whole team for helping turn our vision for our wedding day into reality.

Torsten and his crew far surpassed our high expectations for amazing food, and warm, romantic ambiance at our wedding this past March. Everything Ono cuisine did for us was pure perfection.Torsten was incredibly helpful and very easy to work with as we planned our destination wedding. It was clear that he is very prideful about what he does and he should be because he's brilliant! His menu items all sounded delicious so choosing the perfect menu seemed overwhelming. He made suggestions, all of which paired wonderfully, making this process so simple and stress-free.
It was very important to us that our food be incredible and memorable. It was! In fact, this was our main priority when planning our party. We are New Yorkers so impressing us isn't so easy, but we were completely blown away by Ono cuisine. Our guests were too!
We had a very small wedding with drinks, hors d'oeuvres, and a full sit down dinner. Everything was beautiful! The presentation was special, the wine and champagne were excellent, and Torsten's staff were awesome!!! Everything they did was truly perfect.
Torsten and his staff are lovely, warm people and made our wedding a dream!

Torsten.
Thank you again for the outstanding dinner.  Every course was so beautifully presented and prepared, and everything was delicious. We've all been talking about the meal for days.  We've concluded that every person should have at least one meal prepared by Torsten before they die. 

Our experience with Ono Cuisine was fantastic. Our dream was to have deliciously beautiful food, and Ono Cuisine provided just that. Torsten worked tirelessly to provide options that would match our wishes and our taste buds. Throughout our wedding, our family and friends were impressed with the attention to detail, the service, warmth and were especially happy with the quality of our meal. If you want great service, top quality, and delicious food, you must call Ono Cuisine!

Torsten and Lucia!
Thank you so much for a day and night we will never forget.
The food and wine was divine.
The dinner on the beach made our wedding complete. The most memorable dinner ever…
We can’t thank you enough.
If you ever come to Sweden, call us!! We will be glad to help you with anything.

Torsten,
What a unique yet amazingly delicious meal you and your staff prepared for us and our family. We appreciated your attention to detail shown with your beautiful presentations. Everyone was very impressed. You successfully contributed to our perfect wedding experience here at Red Palm Villas.
Excellent work. Thank you!
Pura vida.

Torsten,
Thank you for giving us the most amazing wedding dinner we could have ever imagined. Words seriously don’t describe how incredible the food was. You surpassed all our expectations and we feel incredibly blessed that you were a part of our big day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything! Wishing you all the best. Love.

What a wonderful dinner. Your four courses (and two puddings) suited my propensity for overindulgence perfectly. The balance towards fish and the sea was also perfect and finding peas in the tropics was masterful. The lemongrass crème bruleé added to the Beaudelairian sense of mistery and adventure.

Iron Chef Torsten
First of all, thank you very much. We enjoyed your food, cooking, local tips and perspective, and everything else you have done for us. You made our honeymoon much more enjoyable with amazing dinners! This is the first time I have eaten eel and I have learned to eat and appreciate onions. Thank you again for your excellent cooking and most of all fantastic flan!
Yes, and for the third time, thank you! You have taken our experience here in Mal Pais to a whole new level. Everything, and I do mean everything you touched in that kitchen turned into gold. It was so amazing. More than that, you are an amazing person. Your personality combined with your cooking skills made for an incredible experience we will never forget. We will be keeping in touch, enjoy Germany.
Auf Wiedersehen!

Torsten,
Thank you so much for the wonderful meal you prepared. It was incredible – the best we’ve ever had. We enjoyed getting to know you and look forward to the next time we meet. If you ever want to try the waves in Galveston, TX, let us know and we will show you around.
Thanks again for the unforgettable experience.
Muchas gracias mi amigo

Torsten,
I don’t know how many northerners you typically serve, but folks from where we live are very understated. But we’re also honest when we say a meal was good, we mean that it was incredible. When we say and evening was pleasant, we mean that it was magical. So when we say last night’s meal was incredible and the evening was magical, we mean astronomical. Thanks for a wonderful evening and we hope to have the opportunity to enjoy an evening with you and your gastronomical treats again!
All the best to you!

Dear Torsten and company,
Getting married is a leap of faith and hiring you for my wedding from thousands of miles away is another. But how lucky we are! Everything was so delicious. Thank you, thank you for the amazing food – and for contributing to our day. We hope to be back soon.

To Torsten and staff,
Who would have imagined that we could enjoy such a spectacular meal in this remote piece of Costa Rican paradise? Each presentation was creative, intense with unique flavors, fresh from the source and served by a wonderful staff. Thanks for making our daughter’s wedding the memorable event we dreamed of. “Come for the scenery – stay for Torstens' food”.

Une expérience culinaire que a elle seule méritait le voyage!
You provided us with some incredible moments. We were very lucky to have spent this week with you and to discover your talent making the best with all these amazing local products.
We won’t forget the six courses dinner for Christmas Eve!
Thank you, Torsten and Lucia, for taking such good care of us!

Torsten,
You have just had a big part in creating an experience of a lifetime both for me and for my friends which have travelled from far away.
The New Year dinner that you created was simply phenomenal.
I congratulate you for your dedication to your work and I am blessed we found you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Torsten,
It’s hard to find enough superlatives to describe your cooking, and of course each meal somehow surpassed the previous one!
You are a genius in the kitchen and it was an absolute pleasure sitting down to dinner each night. I’m sure you could have served us old boots and made it taste great! Thank you for sharing your skills with us and making this holiday ever more memorable.
(Please consider moving to Australia)

Torsten,
WOW! You are an amazing chef and your love for what you do comes out in every bite and every delectable morsel you prepare. What a wonderful dinner you so carefully prepared and presented with boldness and mucho gusto for our honeymoon! Thank you for the amazing experience of your delightful personality and culinary talents.

Torsten,
Thank you so much for the most wonderful meal we can honestly say we have ever had. You are truly an artist!
You made our very special day even more intimate and special, and for that there are not enough words to express our gratitude. Thank you for such an inspirational meal, your grasp on the fine art of food was tasted in very bite. Thank you again for a wonderful meal!

Dear chef Torsten,
We have lived and cooked and eaten around the world, including such gastronomic capitals as Tokyo, New York, Paris and San Francisco. But your dinners… WOW! The skill and thoughtfulness you put into your dishes are surpassed only by your gorgeous presentation.
Listening to your lesson on food and cooking demonstrated your obvious love for what you do so incredibly well. We learned so much, and we ate so well. Of all the beautiful memories of Costa Rica we will take home with us, your delicious dinners will figure prominently among the sunsets and the sharks!
Until we eat again…

Torsten,
Your food was a beautiful, unpretentious amalgam of exquisite flavor from here and beyond. Thank you. It was the centerpiece for a wonderful evening, to end a wonderful day. I only hope that our paths cross again.
Very truly yours, and thank you again for a perfect night.

Torsten,
Thank you so much for making our honeymoon so special. Your food was so unique and absolutely delicious! Dan and I agree that we have definitely been spoiled. It’s going to take some time for us to adjust back to our boring NY food. Please contact us if you ever come to New York. It would be our pleasure to spoil you. Thanks again for all your hard work.

Torsten,
Simply put, wow! From the beautiful layout to the presentation and amazingly fresh food, this experience was second to none. You’re truly talented and we were lucky enough to be the beneficiaries of your tasteful creations. My wife couldn’t have been happier with this romantic beach side dinner. Many thanks for pulling together such an amazing evening.

Thank you so much for making our wedding so delicious.
The food was very well beyond our expectations and everyone talked about how great it was.
Working with you was so easy and fantastic!
Thanks for making a great wedding dinner!

Our wedding was immaculate, and you have more to do with that than you realize. When I saw your staff in their beautiful uniforms, met your bartenders – who were super cool – I knew the night was going to be amazing. Chris and I are so thankful for the time you spent meeting us in NYC and coming up with an amazing menu. The dinner was so delicious. They say the bride and groom don’t eat or remember the food on the night – but that’s a lie. Our meal was perfect and our guests “oohing” and “aahing” made it even better. To serve family and friends an awesome meal and have them waited on so gracefully was our ultimate goal. Thanks for making it happen.

Torsten,
Thank you once again, 2 weeks of delicious food!! It’s kind of hard to believe it could have got any better, but I think you’ve outdone yourself this time. Every night was the favorite!! It’s always a pleasure to see you again. Looking forward to the next time.

It was such a pleasure meeting you and experiencing such amazing delicious food! You are extremely talented! The four-course meal you prepared for us was legendary!!! It was the best octopus we have ever had… Thank you! You are truly a master of the art of cooking, thank you so much for everything and we will definitely be booking you again the next time we are to visit Costa Rica. You truly made our honeymoon that much more special.

Torsten!
Your cooking is beyond words…
I do not want to eat anything else but your food!
I hate goodbyes…
I love you…
Love always and forever

Torsten you legend!
Thank you, for making our experience here all the more special with your beautiful cooking. After the first night your food quickly became what we looked forward to the most each day. It’s going to be quite depressing to have to go back home and cook for ourselves again after you’ve treated us so well.
We look forward to sharing more good times with you when we return, mate. Hope to see you in Berlin for some beers.
