FAQ
How does carb-conscious meal delivery work?

What is a low carb diet plan?
Our low-carb format combines a protein portion with more vegetables instead of the usual starchy side. The carbohydrate and energy content depends on the recipe, so compare the values for the complete portion.

★★★★★
We’ve been using Merci Chef every week for nearly three years now and are very happy with the service. The food is great – fresh, varied from week to week, good value, and with plenty of attention paid to allergies and dietary requirements. The customer service is excellent too: responsive, helpful, and always willing to sort things out when there’s a question. There are a few competitors appearing on the scene these days, but we’re sticking with Merci Chef all the way. Highly recommended!
★★★★★
We're loving merci Chef! It's a reasonable minimum order and the platform is simple. The reason I chose it, as there are quite a few, is the variety of styles of meals. We're a family with young kids and so for just the adults we like to eat more adventurous but there are options each week that our kids will plausibly eat full portions of as well and that makes such a difference. Secondly - the a la carte option is a game changer. Because while often our kids won't eat the whole meal, they'll likely eat some of it and that allows me to tailor to our families tastes. I also love that there's not huge amounts of packaging. So good - thank you!
