FAQS ABOUT PRIVATE CHEFS in Houston
How much does a private chef in Houston cost?
The cost ranges depending on the menu you choose and your total group size. Usually, the experience will be between $59 and over $100 per person. You can view the starting price per person on this page as you browse through individual menu offerings that are available. The starting price will automatically adjust based on the total number of guests you plan to have. Beyond the base charges, there is also a local sales tax that is applied. If you have more specific questions you’d like to ask, contact Cozymeal’s concierge team to learn more about the cost of a private chef for a dinner party and similar experiences you might enjoy.
What is included when you hire a chef for the night?
Booking an in-home chef means getting the white-glove treatment for a custom dinner made onsite in your own home. Your local Houston chef will provide all ingredients required for the menu you’ve chosen and will set up their station in your kitchen to create the meal before your eyes. You’ll also receive first-rate table service as the meal unfolds and clean-up service after you’ve eaten. This full-service set-up allows you to spend memorable moments with your guests, relaxing and enjoying the event along with friends and family.
What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?
With Houston’s reputation for hearty Southern cuisine, you can expect to find exciting steakhouse, surf-and-turf and downhome menus when you hire a chef for dinner or your next event. Nearby restaurants like The Warwick provide inspiration for New American specialties while having Gulf-fresh fish and seafood gives your culinary creative regional ingredients that compete with The Oceanaire Seafood Room for your special occasions. Diners seeking luxurious offerings will also be happy to find a wide range of Michelin-level dishes from French menus and more. Specialty cuisines to accommodate gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian eaters are also part of select menus, allowing everyone to enjoy a meal that suits their needs.
How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?
Booking a private chef for a dinner party is simple. Just review the menus on this page to see which experiences and chefs are available, choose a menu and a date that works for you and click “Contact Chef” to learn more about setting up your event. If your chosen affair includes a customizable menu, you’ll work with your chef to arrange a premium spread that works for you. For occasions that require a more customized plan, you can consult with concierge services to determine what’s possible.
How much should I tip my private chef?
Tipping your in-home chef for a dinner party is not required. But if you do leave a tip, using a guideline of 10% to 25% of your total bill will ensure your gratuity suits the occasion. Of course, you can always choose to tip higher if your chef has outperformed your expectations.
Where do the experiences take place?
You can choose an in-home experience where you book a chef to cook at your home, thanks to traveling chefs stationed around Houston. If your affair requires a more deluxe locale, selecting venues throughout town is also possible. This allows you to match the atmosphere of your event to the menu. Imagine the modern excitement of Montrose, the contemporary buzz of Greater Uptown or the intercultural spirit of the Greater East End providing a backdrop for your delicious dinner.
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.
