WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE PERSONAL CHEF EXPERIENCES in Tucson
06/19/2024
Wonderful anniversary dinner. Chef Linda was great .
03/02/2022
We had a wonderful night with Chef Luis - he made us a ton of delicious Cuban inspired food and engaged in some very interesting conversation. It was a pleasure to have him cook for my mother's 65th birthday and he left the kitchen as clean as he found it. I'd highly recommend using him for an at home chef experience!
03/23/2025
We had so much fun and the food was delicious!
05/03/2024
Chef Luis was amazing! The food he prepared was absolutely delicious, and he was very professional and personable. We enjoyed the evening and experience and plan to do this again. We will refer him to as many people we can.

FAQS ABOUT PRIVATE CHEFS in Tucson
How much does a private chef in Tucson cost?
The cost of a private chef for a dinner party in Tucson depends on the number of guests and the type of culinary experience you choose. Prices start at $59 per person and can go over $100, including local sales tax. Children’s menus are available at a discounted rate. During the booking process, the price will automatically adjust as you enter your group size. Keep in mind that menu changes and additions, like incorporating a wine pairing, may affect the final cost. If you need assistance with booking your in-home chef for a dinner party or have any questions, our friendly concierge team is here to help.
What is included when you hire a chef for the night?
When you hire a chef for the night, your experience includes a personalized menu and exceptional service. Your private chef will take care of everything, from sourcing Sonoran Desert specialties to preparing each dish on-site and cleaning up afterward. Every course will be beautifully plated and served with style. If your menu requires special equipment, like a mesquite grill for that Southwestern touch, your chef will bring it along. Whether you’re hosting in the heart of Downtown or nestled in the foothills of the Catalina Mountains, when you hire a chef for dinner, you’ll enjoy five-star cuisine.
What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?
Tucson chefs are experts at making your private chef experience unique to your event. While classics like homemade Italian pasta, sushi, and surf-and-turf are always a hit, your in-home chef will customize a menu for your casual gathering or formal dinner party. Whether you want to celebrate with regional favorites like Sonoran-style carne asada or a Michelin-star-level menu inspired by Vivace Restaurant and Downtown's fine dining scene, your personal chef will design a menu that captures the essence of your celebration.
How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?
It’s as easy to hire a chef in Tucson as it is to watch the sun dip behind the Catalina Mountains. Browse the selection of mouthwatering culinary experiences on this page, choose your date, serving time, and group size, and you’re already on your way to an unforgettable evening. Once your booking is confirmed, your in-home chef will reach out to craft a custom menu that reflects your celebration. Need a hand to rent a chef near you or have questions? Our friendly concierge team is always here to guide you through booking your perfect chef experience.
How much should I tip my private chef?
Gratuities are optional and completely at your discretion when you hire a private chef for a dinner party. However, if you’d like to show appreciation for your chef’s courteous service, beautiful presentation, and delicious dishes, such as their crispy mini chimichangas, succulent red pozole, and flaky sopapillas, a tip of 10% to 25% of the total cost is suitable.
Where do the experiences take place?
Your culinary experience can take shape anywhere when you hire chefs to cook at your home. From a sun-soaked patio Downtown to an adobe rental in the foothills, as long as your private chef has access to a fully equipped kitchen, they will craft mouthwatering in your chosen space. Whether you're savoring hand-rolled sushi at your cocktail party in the Catalina Foothills or indulging in a gourmet dinner under the stars in Poets Square, hiring an in-home chef for your dinner party lets you entertain with the city’s infamous gastronomy without the stress of hosting.
