There really aren't enough STARS to mark how truly incredible Rafi Levy's services are. Aside from the sublime quality of dishes that not only TASTED delicious but looked like works of art (ALMOST) too good to eat, it was the wonderful care he took before and during my luxury client retreat to make food that fit a variety of dietary needs without sacrificing flavor or skimping on epicurean style.
If it weren't for the fact that most clients came in from out of town, I'd tell you, you wouldn't even have a chance to work with him because every client wanted to take him home to be their personal chef. And I was already at the front of that line.
The entire experience was delightful and Rafi is a beautiful person who clearly has found his purpose in life. To nourish his client's and do so with a sense of delight and joy that shines through in every single bite!
To say, I highly recommend Chef Rafi Levy, The Portland Chef, is an understatement of the highest order.
Thank you Rafi, for ensuring that my top clients received top service and delish nourishment during the Master Creators Alchemy Retreat...
   Read moreMy family hired Rafi to make brunch for my bridal shower this weekend and I was absolutely floored by the flavors, presentation, and variety of options he created. We had a range of dietary restrictions from strict vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and people who could eat anything and everything and Rafi truly delivered a spread that left everyone satisfied and going back for seconds and thirds (and hoping for leftovers!).
Some highlights: Roasted fingerling potatoes with preserved meyer lemon, homemade bagels (which he woke up at 3am that morning to make! By hand! Legend), oatmeal breakfast cookies which will live in my head rent free forever, tofu chilaquiles in the cutest little mini cast iron skillets. Also check out the video of him using an incredibly cool smoker to finish off the carrot lox he made for the bagels. Beyond incredible.
This is food elevated to art and I can't recommend him...

Chef Rafi delivered two delicious entrees with accompanying side dishes every week. Exciting menu options were emailed each week, and our choices were delivered, beautifully prepared and packaged, with precise heating and serving instructions. His seasoning, sauces and preparation mark him as a masterful chef , responsive , organized and a joy to work with. Thank you, Chef Rafi. Lydia and Dr Derek Lipman,...
