If you require assistance with hiring a chef for dinner near you, Cozymeal’s concierge team is always available to help.
What is included when you hire a chef for the night?
When you hire a chef for the night in Baile Átha Cliath, everything is taken care of — from sourcing local ingredients at Temple Bar Food Market to clean up. Your private chef prepares and cooks the entire menu in your kitchen, serves each dish and handles the washing up so you can enjoy your guests. If your event requires specialty tools, from tagines to pasta rollers, the chef brings them along. Whether you’re hosting a romantic dinner in Ranelagh or a garden party in Ballsbridge, the experience is fully personalized and stress-free. You just sit back, relax and enjoy a restaurant-quality meal without ever leaving your flat or holiday rental.
What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?
On the east coast of Ireland, popular cuisines include surf and turf, homemade Italian pasta, Asian fusion and classic Irish pub fare. For a luxury experience, menus featuring Michelin-star-caliber dishes inspired by Dublin favorites like Chapter One or Patrick Guilbaud are also available. You’ll find everything from elegant tasting menus and authentic sushi to luxurious multi-course French feasts with wine pairings. Whether you're after a cozy meal with modern comfort food or a gourmet showcase of international flavors, your chef can customize every dish to suit your preferences and dietary needs. With so many culinary options, your private chef experience becomes an unforgettable celebration of flavor and creativity in the comfort of your home.
How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?
Hiring a private chef for a dinner party in DUB is as easy as enjoying a pint at Brazen Head. Browse the available private chef experiences, then select a menu, your preferred date and guest count. After booking, your in-home chef will connect with you to finalize the details and customize the menu. From intimate dinner parties in Dalkey to family celebrations in Donnybrook, your chef takes care of every detail so you can focus on enjoying the experience. If you need help with hiring a chef or have custom requests, Cozymeal’s concierge team is happy to assist. Whether you’re planning a birthday, holiday or a special night in, renting a chef is effortless.
How much should I tip my private chef?
All Cozymeal pricing is transparent and includes VAT. Tipping your personal chef is not required and is entirely at your discretion. Although optional, leaving a gratuity is a thoughtful way to show appreciation for your chef’s exceptional service and mouthwatering dishes. If your private chef crafts a five-star dinner with refined Irish classics like hearty Irish stew, homemade soda bread, buttery colcannon and decadent Guinness brownies, a tip of 10% to 25% is a generous gesture. Similar to dining at top Dublin restaurants like Chapter One or Pichet, gratuity reflects your satisfaction and helps support the chefs who bring these memorable meals to life.
Where do the experiences take place?
Private chef experiences are held throughout the Capital City — in your home, holiday rental or a premium venue of your choosing — as long as there’s a clean, functional kitchen. From coastal homes in Sandymount to modern flats in Dublin City Centre or countryside retreats in Howth, your space becomes the stage for a gourmet meal. Whether it’s a multi-course dinner in a cozy townhouse or a celebratory meal with family, Dublin chefs handle everything from preparation to cleanup. When you book chefs to cook at your home, all you need to do is invite your guests and enjoy a personalized dining experience with five-star restaurant-caliber cuisine.
