WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE PERSONAL CHEF EXPERIENCES in Boston

My wife and I have a newborn at home so it's difficult for us to go out for a date night. Chef Asude came to our house and cooked an absolutely spectacular 4 course meal - truly one of the best meals in our memory! It's hard to chose a favorite dish because they were all so spectacular. In addition, she was very friendly and easy to communicate with prior to the event. She left our kitchen spotless and really made the evening a very special night for us. Would highly recommend!

Our in-home date night with Chef Asude was truly unforgettable! From the moment she arrived, she was warm, kind, and incredibly personable, making us feel at ease and excited for the evening ahead. She went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, creating not just a meal, but a truly special experience.
The French-inspired menu was absolutely divine. The fennel salad was light and refreshing, setting the stage for the rich and comforting potato cheddar tart. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection, paired beautifully with creamy garlic mashed potatoes and delicious asparagus that she modified just for us. And the chocolate soufflé with homemade ice cream? Simply out of this world! Every dish was crafted with care, beautifully presented, and full of flavor.
Beyond her culinary talent, Chef Asude’s genuine passion for food and hospitality shined throughout the evening. She shared the stories behind each dish, making the meal feel even more meaningful. Her attention to detail and personal touches made the night extra special.
If you’re looking for a private chef experience that combines elegance, comfort, and incredible food, look no further. Chef Asude made our date night one to remember, and we can’t wait to book her again!

FAQS ABOUT PRIVATE CHEFS in Boston
How much does a private chef in Boston cost?
The cost ranges depending on your group size and event details with tiered pricing used according to the headcount for your event. For most menus, you can expect to pay between $59 and over $100 per person. Next to each listed experience that is available on this page, you will see a starting cost per person price displayed for the experience. That price will automatically adjust based on your group size. In addition to the base cost of the dinner, there is also a local sales tax that is applied. Connect with our concierge team to get answers to your specific questions about the cost of a private chef for a dinner party or similar special occasion.
What is included when you hire a chef for the night?
Your Boston chef will shop for the necessary ingredients to create your chosen menu and bring them to the event site. They’ll prepare the meal in the onsite kitchen space, including specialty tools that may come into play during the process. They’ll also provide table service during the dinner to keep your guests satisfied as the evening unfolds and clean up once dinner is finished. It’s an experience similar to a catered dinner that takes the work out of your hands, allowing you to spend time enjoying your guests without lifting a finger.
What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?
When you hire a chef for dinner, Asian fare like sushi and regional street food favorites, classic Italian and French spreads and steakhouse-style dining are all popular options provided by private chefs around the city. You’ll also find menus featuring fresh seafood caught nearby and transformed into meals that rival popular Boston restaurants like Atlantic Fish Company and Saltie Girl. And with a focus on fantastic American specialties, you can choose from domestic and global possibilities prepared with a gourmet touch. There are also several Michelin-star-caliber menus available that offer the best that luxury dining has to offer. You can even find vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options to entice specialty diners.
How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?
To hire an in-home chef or a private chef for a dinner party, simply browse this page to explore the list of available chefs, menus, and dates near you. Choose the option that best fits your preferences, then click the “Contact Chef” button to reach out and learn more or start the booking process. If you have specific requests and need customized service, our concierge team is available to help you discuss the possibilities.
How much should I tip my private chef?
Tipping is not required. If you choose to leave a tip, you can do so with a rate between 10% and 25% of the cost of your experience. Though gratuity isn’t required, it’s a thoughtful way to express your gratitude and is sure to be appreciated by your chef.
Where do the experiences take place?
When you book an in-home chef for a dinner party, you are hiring the chef to cook at your home dining space, though alternative venues around the city are also possibilities. Wherever your preferred locale may be, your chef will require a clean, working kitchen with functional appliances to ensure a well-prepared meal. With so many exciting quarters around the Boston area, you can enjoy a dinner party in Back Bay, throw a supper club gathering in Cambridge or arrange a celebratory feast in North End.
