The Chef - Concord

There are so many amazing things about this restaurant that I can't possibly list them all. The menu offers a wonderful variety of choices, including American, Venezuelan, Mexican, Indian, Middle Eastern, as well as vegetarian and vegan options. The food is not only delicious but also perfectly prepared, and the presentation is beautiful. The service is excellent, the prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous. Plus, there are plenty of healthy, nutrient-rich options available.

I just left The Chef Restaurant and felt compelled to share my experience. It was incredible from start to finish. The staff were very attentive and explained that their concept focuses on serving fresh, healthy food. We enjoyed infused fruit water, smoothies, homemade yucca chips with guacamole, fried avocado slices, grilled salmon with cauliflower rice and roasted broccolini, rotisserie chicken with quinoa salad and roasted vegetables, and chicken avocado arepas (similar to rolled egg rolls made with dough). Thank you, Chef Roberto and the staff, for making Father’s Day so special!

I started with an appetizer of fresh asparagus paired with homemade pesto, which was a heavenly combination complemented by juicy slices of fresh citrus and apples. The açai juice was served ice-cold and not overly sweet— a refreshing and healthy choice for a hot day. For my main course, I had the salmon, which was a delightful medley of textures and flavors. The hint of curry added an exciting twist to the dish, while the crisp steamed greens provided a lovely balance. For dessert, I indulged in a poached pear accompanied by a scoop of rich vanilla ice cream and decorated with a syrup-dipped flower for both flavor and presentation. To finish off my meal, I enjoyed a house-brewed Americano that was rich and robust. I left feeling fully satisfied and thrilled to have discovered such a gem so close to home. Thank you, Chef Mendoza and the entire team, for a wonderful dining experience!

I ordered the shrimp curry, while my partner chose the half chicken with grilled vegetables and a house salad. When the food arrived, I quickly understood the enthusiasm from my friends and other reviews. The dishes were nothing short of spectacular! They were fresh, flavorful, and inventive. Even the house salad could compete with the most upscale salads I've had, featuring the lightest, fruitiest dressing I've ever tasted. The portion sizes were perfect, even for my boyfriend, who is a weightlifter and consumes around 5,000 calories a day! There was so much goodness in every bite that it's hard to describe everything. I’m definitely looking forward to returning in the next few days, especially since the desserts looked amazing too! My only concern is whether they will attract the right clientele in our small town.

This restaurant is perfect for anyone like me who wants to enjoy a clean and healthy meal. My husband ordered the steak and shrimp, and the steak was undoubtedly the juiciest and most flavorful I’ve ever tasted. I'm not usually a fan of salmon, but I chose it because it’s so healthy, and to my surprise, I really enjoyed it. It came with a creamy pesto sauce that reminded me of my favorite pesto from Peru, along with a side of cauliflower rice. I also had an açaí berry juice made from pure pulp with nothing added; it felt like this place was a gift from heaven. I truly loved everything, and we will definitely be back soon. Additionally, our waiter provided fantastic service, and Chef Mendoza was a true blessing to us. Thank you for a wonderful evening!
