What is included when you hire a chef for the night?
When you hire a chef for the night in the Crown Jewel of Southwest Florida, every detail is taken care of, from shopping and prepping to cooking, serving and cleaning up. Your in-home chef brings premium ingredients and any needed specialty tools, like a paella pan or hibachi grill, and crafts a gourmet, multi-course menu tailored to your event. Whether you’re hosting a romantic dinner in Port Royal or a beachside celebration in Park Shore, your chef transforms your space into a personal fine-dining venue. All you need to do is sit back, relax and enjoy a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your home or vacation rental.
What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?
The Paradise Coast is known for its elevated taste and coastal delicacies, and private chef experiences reflect that. Prepared by world-class chefs, popular menus include handmade Italian pasta, classic surf and turf, Japanese sushi and Asian fusion. For luxury events and formal affairs, select Michelin-star-level tasting menus with wine pairings featuring raw bars, caviar and champagne. Your culinary experience is tailored to your taste, dietary needs and event style. Whether you're inspired by upscale local restaurants like The French or Sails, your chef will create an unforgettable gourmet evening — right in your home. From Southern comfort food to cutting-edge cuisine, there are endless options to explore.
How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?

How much should I tip my private chef?
Cozymeal’s transparent pricing means no surprise fees. When you rent a chef in the Crown Jewel of Southwest Florida, tipping is entirely optional and at your discretion but always appreciated for excellent service. Much like dining out at local top spots like Osteria Tulia or Truluck’s, recognizing your personal chef’s skills, creativity and hospitality is a thoughtful way to conclude the evening. Whether you're serving perfectly seared scallops, hearty bowls of seafood-filled cioppino or entertaining your guests with authentic hibachi, a gratuity of 10% to 25% is a thoughtful way to thank your private chef for crafting an incredible, personalized dining experience for you and your guests.
Where do the experiences take place?
Private chef experiences are flexible and entirely personalized. Naples chefs can come to your home, vacation rental or a premium third-party venue, from beachfront estates in Old Naples and poolside soirees in Port Royal to condos in The Moorings, as long as there's a clean, functioning kitchen. Your personal chef brings everything needed – premium ingredients, specialty equipment and professional service, creating a restaurant-quality meal on-site exactly where you want it. Whether it’s an elegant garden dinner with surf and turf or a casual family reunion with locally caught grouper and chips, your space becomes the backdrop for an unforgettable culinary event. Hosting has never been easier — or tastier.
