Passion Fruit Chef's have cooked for us each time our family has gone to St. John for the past 12 years. Laura does an amazing job. Her food is the best we have had. We have had others cook for us, but this is by far the best food we have had. They are great! -

We hired Passion Fruit Chefs for a private dinner for my bachelorette party. We had a fantastic experience and could not recommend them enough. The food was delicious, they were easy to work with, and went out of their way to make sure we had a stress-free evening. If you're looking for a caterer in St. John this is the one! -

Would definitely recommend
Laura, her sister and team were excellent! They help create the perfect wedding reception for our daughter and her husband. They even created a beautiful table display and cake decorations when the flowers I thought I was getting from another vendor fell through:( Planning long distance was made easy with great communication and plenty of good suggestions! AND the food/cake were awesome…everyone raved how delicious everything was!! -

Exceeded our Expectations!
Laura and her staff where incredibly professional from the tasting a year ahead of time, the detail in planning along with her considerations and expertise. My daughter's wedding was flawless and the food fantastic! Highly recommend the Mahi sliders as an appy! Exceptionally professional and would highly recommend them and will surely use again even if for just a small dinner gathering at our next trip to St. Thomas/St. John. We are incredibly appreciative Laura and team! Steve K. -

Kim H. Sent on 01/15/2020What professionals they are. And lovely people, too!
Choosing a caterer was our first step as we planned our mid-January wedding... knowing how busy St. Thomas' best can get in 'high season.' So we met with and booked the services of Laura, Lorna and Cassandra of Passion Fruit Chefs last June -- 7 months in advance. Nobody does food like they do -- and I speak from decades of living and dining in St. Thomas. Their level of innovation, variety, and delight-the-eye presentation are ...exceptional.
Laura, the planner, was consistently available -- with details at the ready -- for advance questions on menu adjustments, logistics, and timing. She was acutely attuned to food allergies and able to provide substitutions... even last minute, to guests who til then hadn't made their intolerances or requirements clear.
PFC fed 150 of our guests in the course of 2 nights. And almost-as-many of our friends and family members said to me (that evening or later) "their food's amazing!" Not "good" Not "tasty"... but that word over and over: "AMAZING!"
Lastly, what a great spirit Laura, Lorna and Cassandra bring to their work, their staff -- and their clients. They made a full measure of magic for us that elevated and infused the entire, glorious weekend. Our hats are off to you, PFC Ladies!!! -

My husband & I recently got married in the Virgin Islands (St. John). We stayed at a beautiful Private Villa for 7 days where we hosted all of our events. Chef Laura w/ Passion Fruit Chefs prepared the food for our Welcome Dinner, Wedding Reception (& bar) & Day After Brunch. After the first meal, I was wishing I'd booked her for the ENTIRE WEEK! She was professional, sweet, prompt & her food was DELICIOUS!!!! Laura had great patience w/ me & all of my emails, calls & texts, until we came up with the perfect menus for all 3 events! I mean, EVERY SINGLE DISH from the hors d'oeuvres, to the salad w/ homemade dressing, to the entrees were TASTY & MEMORABLE!!!! We had 17 guests (15 adults)...a mixture of meat lovers, vegetarians & pescatarians and EVERYONE raved about the food! I also need to make mention that Laura was very mindful about her & staff being COVID-safe by wearing PPE & not allowing ANYONE to enter the kitchen or surrounding areas without a mask on! Not even ME, as the Bride. ;-) It was GREAT! We all felt safe & ate EXCELLENT food! We plan to return to the VI in the Spring for my birthday & Laura will be the first person I call to prepare our meals...for the WEEK this time! :-) If you're in need of a chef in the VI...LOOK. NO. FURTHER!!!!! You will not be disappointed! -

We had been looking forward to our meal with Chef Laura our entire trip, and we were not at all disappointed. Prior to our meal, She kept in touch with us and made sure to prepare a custom menu that fit our tastes and many specifics (food allergies, sensitivities and pescatarians), and she presented a meal that excited all 7 of us, which was no small feat. The opening appetizer of vegetable fritters was flavorful and perfectly crispy, and I had to stop myself from eating too many. The first course of shrimp bisque was creamy with bits of shrimp, and more than enough, which was good because we would have fought over the leftovers. The main course of grouper was tender and had a special addition of sweet orange and kiwi. Our children, and the kids at heart raved over the brownie sundae. She made our villa beautiful and the presentation of food was pristine.
Chef Laura is extremely personable and accommodating, and was the highlight of our trip to St. John! -

Laura was our chef at our ARBNB villa in St John for 3 couples. She catered a fabulous meal, the presentation was marvelous, her conversation intriguing and fun, the appetizers, entree and dessert were absolutely delicious. She was attentive to food allergies in her presentation. She made our dinner part of the highlights of our trip. Thank you! -

Laura and her team were absolutely fantastic. After having to change our reception four weeks before the wedding and go from a restaurant to needing a caterer, Laura was amazing in helping us choose the perfect menu for our wedding day. From passed hors d’oeuvres to dessert, everything was delicious and our guests raved about it, even days later. If you’re in need of a caterer on St. John, look no further!
