FAQS ABOUT PRIVATE CHEFS in Dallas
How much does a private chef in Dallas cost?
The cost of a private chef for a dinner party depends on the menu, the number of courses, and your guest count. Each available experience provides a starting price per person based on the menu description. Typically, these experiences range from $59 to over $100 per person, with discounted options available for children's menus. Local sales tax is included in the final price. Once you enter your guest count, the total cost will automatically adjust. Additional requests, extra courses, wine pairings, and other modifications may affect the overall price. If you need assistance booking an in-home chef for a dinner party, please contact our concierge team.
What is included when you hire a chef for the night?
When you hire a chef for the night, every detail of your culinary event will be expertly managed, from sourcing the finest cuts of beef to handpicking the freshest local produce. Your chef will take care of all the preparation, cooking each dish on the premises, beautifully plating every course, and serving the meal with style while you share a funny story with your guests. If specialty cookware is needed, such as a Japanese hibachi grill, the chef will bring it. Best yet, when you hire a chef for dinner, they handle all of the clean-up.
What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?
Dallas chefs are masters of a wide array of cuisines and the latest food trends. While umami-rich Asian dishes and classic surf and turf are always crowd-pleasers, your options are truly limitless. Craving the rich, comforting flavors of La Stella Cucina Verace’s osso bucco-filled agnolotti pizzicati? Your in-home chef will craft an authentic five-course Italian feast, from antipasti to dolci, che buono! For a more formal event, channel the elegance of Mister Charles with a Michelin-worthy French-inspired menu featuring Texas-raised wagyu steak au poivre. Whether it’s a relaxed backyard barbecue or an upscale event with the artistry of sushi-making, your private chef experience is customized for you.
How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?
It’s as easy to hire a chef as it is to break in a new pair of cowboy boots. Simply browse through the curated selection of culinary experiences on this page and choose the perfect cuisine for your event. Select an available date and time, and enter the number of guests you’ll be hosting. Don’t worry if the guest count changes before the event. Once your reservation is confirmed, your in-home chef will reach out to customize the menu and go over the yummy details. Our concierge team is always available to help you rent a chef near you or find an available date.
How much should I tip my private chef?
Gratuities are completely optional and at your discretion if you hire a private chef for a dinner party. However, if you would like to show appreciation for your chef's exceptional service, beautiful presentations, and mouthwatering dishes, such as their perfectly tender smoked brisket or decadent three-layer chocolate cake, we suggest a tip of 10% to 25% of the total cost.
Where do the experiences take place?
The most exciting part of hiring an in-home chef for a dinner party is the freedom to host your event anywhere — no restaurant reservations are required. As long as there’s a fully equipped kitchen, the possibilities are endless. Picture enjoying a farm-to-table dinner in your beautiful backyard in Plano or a gourmet French meal while gazing at the Dallas skyline from your Uptown home. When you book chefs to cook at your home, your dining experience is one-of-a-kind. Your personal chef will craft a menu tailored to your tastes, whether you’re renting a vacation home or have been in your house for 20 years.
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.
