We had a great time with Chef Washington! He was very accommodating for my wife's birthday brunch and the food he made was fantastic! I would highly recommend Chef Washington for any events where you need a private chef.

Dinner crafted by Chef Dean, was nothing short of a culinary masterpiece. Every bite was a journey of flavors, with two standout dishes that completely stole the show. The raspberry sauce infused with lemongrass and kefir lime leaf was a brilliant balance of sweet and tangy, elevating each bite to new heights. Equally divine was the plum sauce with a delicate blend of five spice—perfectly aromatic, it added just the right depth of flavor to complement the rest of the dish. The duck itself was seasoned to perfection and cooked to an ideal tenderness, showcasing Chef Dean’s extraordinary skill. It was a meal that left us completely in awe, and we can’t wait for our next experience under his masterful hand!

Chef Dean was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was very communicative and when I asked for a customized menu he went above and beyond to make a very special and memorable meal. This was the first time I had done a private chef for a personal meal and I would absolutely consider it again in the future. Especially if Chef Dean is working it.

Chef Washington did an awesome job on our meal! It was delicious and such a good representation of PNW foods. We hired him to make a meal for a work function which was held in an airbnb - so there were some unknown elements regarding what would be in the kitchen. He did a great job of planning for the unknowns and being flexible when something was supposed to have been there but was not. He also did a great job of cooking on the island part of the kitchen while we were all around him in the kitchen and dining room. I cannot recommend him enough! And for my fellow Bainbridge Islanders - he did say he would consider coming to the island!

Chef Unika gave us an unforgettable cooking experience! We spent the night learning so much, laughing endlessly, and feasting like royalty at the end of it all. We came away looking forward to reaching out to her again. She was prompt, professional, and so knowledgeable, and she made my partner's birthday special and unbelievably delicious! Thank you, chef!

Absolutely fantastic experience! Chef Kausar was professional, informative, and a genuine delight!

Chef Kauser was wonderful! She was a pleasure to have in our home and the meal was delicious. That said, I think the experience was a poor value. We did this as it was mostly a gift given to us. But at this price point we could have had several amazing meals out.

We had a great time cooking with Chef Unika. The Jambalaya was amazing!

Our group had a fantastic experience with Chef Kausar who provided us with the history and context behind each dish from Pakistan. Not only were we filled with aromatic, delicious dishes, but we were filled with wonderful stories of her homeland and their traditions. She was also efficient at set up and cleaning up so that we hardly noticed. Chef Kausar gave our group an intimate and memorable experience that made our work retreat a huge success.

Karen Morrill-McClure .

Loved the time we spent with Chef Kausar yesterday. The food was outstanding. She answered all of our questions (including the ones about fisheries and fishing in Pakistan). I think I'm still full. The tomato chutney was incredible. Was a great team building activity and learning experience.

FAQS ABOUT PRIVATE CHEFS in Seattle

How much does a private chef in Seattle cost?

The cost of a private chef for a dinner party depends on the culinary experience and the number of guests attending. Prices typically start at $59 per person and can exceed $100, with discounted rates available for children's menus. Local sales tax is included in the price. Each experience provides the base price per person, and as you enter your guest count, the total cost will automatically adjust. Special requests, wine pairings, and extra courses may influence the final 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 dinner, you’ll have a seamless and stress-free hosting experience. Every detail will be expertly managed, from sourcing the freshest fish at Pike Place Market to handling all of the clean-up, allowing you to focus on your guests. Your chef will prepare each dish on-site, artfully plate every course, and serve with impeccable style. If needed, specialty cookware such as a hibachi grill will be provided. Whether you're planning a Southeast Asian feast for a birthday celebration in Capitol Hill or a champagne brunch for friends in the U-District, when you hire a chef for dinner, a gourmet meal and exceptional service are delivered.

What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?

When you hire an in-home chef, your menu is fully customizable to reflect your personal tastes and preferences. With expertise in the latest culinary trends and a wide range of global cuisines, Seattle chefs are equipped to design a menu that aligns perfectly with your style. While Italian, Asian, and classic American surf and turf remain timeless favorites, your private chef experience can be as dynamic as the entertainment at The Pink Door. Craving the refinement of Canlis with a Michelin-star-level menu? From Spanish tapas and paella to peppered duck breast with a Bordeaux wine sauce, your chef will curate a menu that elevates any occasion to something extraordinary.

How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?

It’s harder to spot a tourist in Pike Place Market than to hire a chef. Simply browse the selection of exciting culinary experiences listed on this page and choose the theme that best reflects what you have in mind. Select your date, serving time, and the estimated number of guests attending your soirée, then hit “BOOK NOW.” Once your reservation is confirmed, the chef will contact you to discuss the menu, any special requests, and details. If you need any assistance with finding a date or have special requests, please contact our helpful concierge team to rent a chef near you.

How much should I tip my private chef?

Tipping your private chef for a dinner party is entirely optional and is up to your discretion. However, if you'd like to show your appreciation for the chef’s exceptional service, exquisite plating, and five-star dishes, like their short rib pho and homemade donuts, we suggest a tip of 10% to 25% of the total cost as a kind and thoughtful gesture.

Where do the experiences take place?

Hiring chefs to cook at your home lets you entertain on your own terms. Say goodbye to noisy restaurants and restrictive menus. Whether you're in a vacation rental along the Puget Sound or a houseboat on Lake Washington, your chef will craft a personalized menu just for you. As long as your chef has access to a fully equipped kitchen, your bespoke event can take place anywhere, from a sleek downtown high-rise to a charming spot high on the hill in Queen Anne. With every detail tailored to your preferences, booking an in-home chef for a dinner party means a gourmet meal without leaving the comfort of your place.
