A MASSIVE thank you to Emma for helping to make my father’s 60th, one to remember! We booked 3 meals with Dine either Emma and they were all superb and all very different cuisines! Italian, Tapas and Japanese – all delicious. The entire experience was so much better than going to a restaurant. For someone that wasn’t exactly sure what would be on the menu, she really helped to make sure that I had lots of choices to choose from. It’s not easy to keep 16 of my family members, with different dietary requirements and cuisine preferences happy with a menu – and she certainly pulled that off! Plus the kitchen was always spotless after they left 🙂 Would definitely book again.

Emma, we would all like to thank you for such a wonderful night. You definitely pulled out the stops and at such short notice. The food was amazing and both you and Catarina were lovely and made our evening very special.

Emma and Helen have been to us twice in the last week. Eight of us had a tapas menu the first time which was superb in every way. A lovely selection of hot and cold food – don’t miss the homemade sardine pate and the chilli and garlic prawns. There was enough food leftover for lunch the following day. They came again to do a three course meal for 12 of us as a birthday celebration. Everything was amazing. Truly delicious home cooked food that everybody loved. Thank you both for making my birthday special and yippee…..no clearing up, all done for us! We won’t hesitate to ask you to cook for us again. Thank you so much.

A massive thank you to Emma and her team for the most amazing catering at our party at Casa Kerry last evening. The food was nothing short of superb and the service was second to none . All our guests commented on the high standard of food, it was better than many restaurants we have been to. We cannot recommend Emma and her team enough, we have had numerous parties with caterers but Dine With Emma is by far the best.

Emma came to our villa in Albufeira to cook for a hen party of 16 girls & we were all absolutely delighted with the food & the service. Emma was great to deal with prior to the event & always replied quickly. The food was absolutely excellent & catered for some vegans in our group too. Nothing was a problem & I would highly recommend her for any occasion. Fantastic experience all round.

We were a group of 7 ladies staying at a villa. When Emma came out to us we had a tapas style meal and lemon cheesecake for dessert. It was amazing, we all really enjoyed the food and there was plenty to have the next day also :-). Thanks again, very easy to arrange over email and fantastic food. xx

Emma came to our villa for a surprise for part of my 40th birthday celebrations.
What a fab night!!! The food was amazing! She did sun downers and canapés to start and then an amazing bbq for us. The melt in the mouth ribs (secret recipe!!) were crazy-good!
The cheese board was massive with loads of variety!!
The waitress she brought with her was lovely too. At the end of the night they cleared everything away and disappeared like little food fairies – they even took all the rubbish with them!
I really wouldn’t hesitate to book Emma again.
Thank you for making the first night of my celebrations so brilliant xxx

Emma was recommended to us by the villa management team and we are soooooo glad she was! Food was divine (making my mouth water remembering what we ate, mussels, chicken parmigana, raspberry and mango roulade) service was great and all at a very reasonable cost! I would highly recommend Emma and her team! I just wished I’d booked her for more than one evening!

I can not recommend Emma enough! Emma and her team were friendly and easy to have in the Villa. We did not have to worry about a thing from the moment they got there. The food was absolutely amazing and the portions were huge so we had enough for lunch the next day!
Thanks Emma x

Emma catered for us twice during our stay at a villa and the food was absolutely superb. Emma was so professional and very helpful in the run up to our visit. She helped me tweak the menus, so they were just perfect for my family and was so responsive to emails. I cannot recommend her highly enough – truly excellent food and service. Thank you Emma.

Not only did she create amazing meals for the 8 adults but she also make 5 children feel very special too and served them wonderful meals which they loved! The dishes were all beautifully presented, delicious and we had trouble deciding which we liked best! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Thank you Emma! x

Emma cooked for my friends and I last night as a 40th birthday surprise. Her and her hostess, Helen, were friendly and professional. The communication during the booking process was swift and easy. We had such a lovely time and the novelty of not having to lift a finger was amazing. It allowed us to chill out and socialise in our own villa. They even do the washing up too! Looking forward to having the left overs for lunch today too, would highly recommend.

Had an amazing tapas evening from Emma and Helen for 8 of us at our villa. I can honestly say that every single dish was delicious and the sticky ribs are to die for and I wish we’d ordered double. Thank you so much for a wonderful meal!

Emma cooked for my whole family over a 2 week period. The meals for the kids were exceptional and she set a high bar for the adult meals
We had a seafood feast one night, which was better than any meal we’ve had at any restaurant in the Algarve. She was so lovely to be around, incredibly professional and hard working.
The kitchen was immaculate when she left. We are going to book in for next summer
Would highly the seafood night, tapas night, her Cheesecake
We didn’t have set ideas of what we wanted and her suggestions were spot on
We would all highly recommend Emma

I experienced Emma’s catering service at a lunch party last weekend. There was a huge choice of food and each dish was as delicious as the next. The hosts raved about her excellent service and how they didn’t have to lift a finger as she prepared, served and cleaned everything leaving them to enjoy their party to the full. Highly recommended!

Never used Emma before but remembered eating her wonderful food when she was at her restaurant in Peral. Emma arrived at our house to provide food for our 22 lunch time guests about an hour before we were due to eat, she took control completely which left us able to take care of looking after the guests in the garden, in an hour or so the excellent food was ready and very well presented for all to enjoy, to top it all off our very small kitchen was left cleaner than when she arrived, thanks again Emma.

We had a party to celebrate our anniversary with 30 guests. I previously went to a friend’s party where Emma had prepared the food and I was so impressed that I asked her to prepare some pulled pork. Absolutely delicious and all my guests commented on how lovely and tender the pork was. I have no hesitation in recommending Emma to anyone who is looking for a brilliant chef, either for a small dinner party or an occasion with many guests. She is brilliant and very reasonably priced. Thank you Emma for doing a sterling job.

I have been to several private functions where Emma has done the catering and have to say she does a wonderful job. Her ribs and chicken satay are excellent along with many other dishes too, the variety of dishes on offer mean there is something for everyone.
Not only is her food excellent Emma and her staff leave your kitchen looking like there has been no party which is great for the hosts as they can relax and get on with enjoying time with their guests.
Can totally recommend this lady for all your private catering events.

I asked Emma to do finger food for 20 people and every guest said afterwards how much they had enjoyed it. Everything looked so appetising and tasted superb. Emma even catered for those of us who do not eat meat .I would highly recommend dine with Emma

I had never had private caterers before. It was my 60th Birthday and I wanted to give a party to my friends and family. I decided that I really did not have the time to shop for food, spend hours in the kitchen preparing food and then do all the clearing up after the party. So I decided to contact Dine with Emma. Her choice of food was amazing and even made one or two of my own suggestion. Emma and Helen arrived at my house very well prepared and so well organised. The food was presented beautifully, and tasted delicious. Kitchen was left clean and tidy and she even brought her own washing up liquid. Thank you Emma

For my 60th birthday, my wife and I decided to use Dine With Emma Catering. We have known the proprietor, Emma Louise, for a number of years and have never been disappointed by her amazing food. The food for the 60 guests was absolutely stunning and all of our guests commented on the standard of the food.
Thanks you so much Emma for helping to make my 60th birthday so special.

This past week me and 9 of my girlfriends hired Emma to be our private chef in Algarve. She was absolutely WONDERFUL and so ACCOMODATING! Emma and her assistant Helen could not have been sweeter. The food was even better, the most DELICIOUS meals some of us have ever had in our lives. Emma definitely made our experience in Algarve 100x more amazing. I cannot express enough gratitude for her for cooking all of our meals, preparing breakfast for the morning, and keeping the refrigerator stocked with snacks for the entire week. Thank you Emma for all of your hard work!!! I STRONGLY recommend using Emma as your private chef in Lagos! Best food i’ve eaten in a while!
