FAQS ABOUT PRIVATE CHEFS in Toronto
How much does a private chef in Toronto cost?
The cost of a private chef for a dinner party in Toronto depends on your group size and which culinary experience you select. Prices start at $59 per person and can exceed $100, with a discounted rate available for children’s menus. Simply choose your preferred experience, enter your guest count, and the cost will adjust automatically. Local taxes are already included in the price. Please note that changes to the menu and special requests may impact the final cost. For any questions or help with booking an in-home chef for a dinner party, our friendly concierge team is here to assist and ensure everything runs smoothly.
What is included when you hire a chef for the night?
When you hire a chef for the night, you’ll enjoy a five-star meal, from appetizers to decadent desserts. Your in-home chef will manage every detail, from hand selecting the freshest produce from the St. Lawrence Market to cleaning up afterward. Each dish is expertly prepared on-site, beautifully presented, and thoughtfully served. If your menu calls for special equipment, like a grill for a fun hibachi experience, your chef will handle that, too. Whether you’re hosting an intimate get-together or a formal engagement party, when you hire a chef for dinner, a bespoke menu and exceptional service are included.
What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?
Toronto chefs are world-class, mastering cuisines as diverse as the city itself. From Little Italy’s homemade pastas to Chinatown’s bold Asian flavors and locally inspired Canadian dishes, your in-home chef will craft a menu tailored specifically to your occasion. Whether you’re hosting a family reunion with comforting dishes like smoked duck poutine or throwing an elegant affair with a multi-course, locally sourced tasting menu paired with Ontario Icewine, your private chef experience will be nothing short of extraordinary. Expect exceptional service, impeccable presentation, and a menu that showcases the very best of Toronto’s vibrant food culture.
How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?
It’s as easy to hire a chef in Toronto as it is to grab a peameal bacon sandwich at St. Lawrence Market. Just pick one of the tasty culinary experiences on this page, enter your event’s date, time, and group size, and the hard part is over. Once your booking is confirmed, your in-home chef will reach out to personalize the menu and say hey. If you need help to rent a chef near you or have any questions along the way, our friendly concierge team is here to make sure everything goes smoother than a fresh batch of butter tarts.
How much should I tip my private chef?
When you hire a private chef for your dinner party in The Six, tipping is optional and completely up to you. However, suppose your chef knocks it out of the park with their stellar service, impressive presentation, and mouthwatering dishes, like perfectly grilled pork tenderloin, sautéed seasonal greens, and a show-stopping Nanaimo bar for dessert. In that case, we suggest leaving a gratuity of 10% to 25% of the total cost.
Where do the experiences take place?
When you hire chefs to cook at your home, your culinary experience can unfold in the venue of your dreams — from a sleek condo Downtown to a charming Victorian in Cabbagetown. Provided your private chef has access to a clean and fully equipped kitchen, they’ll whip up the city’s tastiest dishes right where you are. Whether you’re indulging in grilled Atlantic lobsters lakeside in Harbourfront or planning Japanese hibachi and sake on a lush lawn in the Annex, booking an in-home chef for a dinner party lets you savor the best of Toronto’s world-class food scene without ever leaving your neighbourhood.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE a PERSONAL CHEF
Ideal for birthday dinners
Brian
Chef Francesca was fantastic! She came to our house to cook dinner for my wife’s birthday and we enjoyed every moment of it. From the preparation of the meal to the delicious food she served, it was all incredible. I would recommend her to anyone and look forward to having her back to our home again very soon!

Our experience with Chef Daniel was excellent! Not only did he take the time to create a thoughtful menu that paired well with our wines, but he took care in how his dishes were presented. The dishes were exquisite and all in all lead to a memorable night for us and our guests.

We had a great time having our own personal chef to create a private dining experience for us. It felt like being in a five-star restaurant without leaving the comfort of the house. The chef was amazing. Great food, great company, amazingly unique experience! I will definitely do it again.
