I recently hired Jason for a birthday dinner for 12 people, and he did a really nice job. It was a 3 course meal (we chose the dishes from an elaborate list of kosher and vegan options Jason gave us) Having Jason cook in our home using our kitchen equipment made the evening feel personal and cozy, and we really enjoyed the presentation of the dishes. Plus, he left everything spotless and wrapped up by 11 pm as promised. I'd definitely recommend Jason for anyone looking for a tailored dining experience at home.

I recently used Piato, with Léonie as our caterer, for a party and it was fantastic. Everything we had planned in advance turned out perfectly. The food was very fresh and looked great, with guests frequently complimenting both the food and drinks. The service was smooth and stress-free; everyone on the team was kind, sweet, and easygoing. The communication felt personal and trustworthy, like talking to a close friend or family member, with fast responses before, during, and after the event. Our guests especially loved the Champagne—we wished we'd ordered more! The pricing matched the excellent quality of service we received. The team arrived on time and stayed late to clean up without any fuss. Overall, I couldn't be happier with how everything we

I recently worked with Léonie from Piato to organize my boss's birthday dinner at the beach, and it was a fantastic experience. Communication was seamless through email, and everything went off without a hitch. The food was delicious, especially the cheese platters and poke bowls with salmon. Léonie also thoughtfully arranged non-alcoholic drinks and champagne for us. Despite windy weather on the day of the event, Léonie and her team did an excellent job managing it and ensuring everything stayed in place. Overall, I would rate the experience 10 out of 10 and highly recommend her services.

When I needed to host 10 people at my home, I found Zoe's Kitchen Queen Cascais profile on Facebook. Zoe recommended ordering from her menu instead of having her cook in my place, which was more cost-effective. Picking up the food myself also helped keep costs down. My guests absolutely loved the food and raved about it. Now, I use her services weekly for family meals - it's perfect for my hungry teens. Zoe offers daily, weekly, and seasonal menus with incredible flexibility in service levels; she even delivers! Her amazing food and excellent service have been a lifesaver for me. Highly recommend Zoe if you're looking for satisfying meals with plenty of options!

I used Nourish & Nosh for daily postpartum meals and was really pleased with the service. Katalin and Alex were quick to respond to my needs, providing meals that were cooked, high in protein, and customized just for me. Every day, I got a timely message about meal delivery, which was always punctual, and I loved the QR code on the bags that let me see what I was eating. The food was fresh, diverse, and full of flavor—though if you're a picky eater, you might want to discuss preferences with Alex the chef due to their use of various herbs and spices from different cuisines. They often included little extras like whole pies instead of slices, which helped stretch my meals through the weekend. The communication felt personal and warm; they even sent a lovely handwritten note and mug when I ended the service after more than a month. While I found it a bit pricey, especially for high-protein meals, the quality justified it, I also understood why since I've worked in food before; still, more affordable pricing might have made me extend my service longer. My only minor critique is that the presentation could be slightly cleaner. Overall, it was a professional yet personal service that made me feel well cared for during this special time in my life.

Zoe provided catering for three events I hosted at my home, one for adults only with about 35 guests and the other two for around 25 guests, including children. I found her on Facebook, and she was very prompt and professional in her response. Working with her was a pleasure; she offered a flexible menu that we could customize as we liked, which was great especially since it included healthy options suitable for kids – not just fried foods. The quality of the food was consistently high, impressing my guests with both taste and presentation. Everything arrived fresh; Zoe brought all the food and equipment herself, arriving two hours early to set up. She left the place spotlessly clean afterward. On one occasion, I also arranged for someone through her service to help clear dishes during the event which was extremely helpful. While there's an upfront payment required for some of the expensive equipment used, Zoe promptly refunded it either on the same day or by the next morning. I highly recommend her services – if you need catering that will take all worries off your plate regarding food preparation and presentation; you'll definitely enjoy working with Zoe.

Why we created Locallista?
As expats, we understand how overwhelming it can be to settle into a new city, where even simple tasks become difficult without a network, complicated by language barriers and cultural differences. That’s why we created Locallista — a closed platform where expats connect with trusted service providers recommended by the community, ensuring clear communication in English or their native languages, making life easier.
