FAQS ABOUT PRIVATE CHEFS in Los Angeles
How much does a private chef in Los Angeles cost?
The cost of a private chef in Los Angeles depends on the size of the party and the experience you choose. Usually, experiences will range between $59 and over $100 per person. As you browse experiences, please note the displayed price per person associated with each individual experience listed on this page. This price will automatically adjust depending on your group size and the complexity of your event and menu. A local sales tax is also included in the final cost. If you have further questions about the cost of a private chef for a dinner party or any other occasion, please contact our concierge team for assistance.
What is included when you hire a chef for the night?
Your chef will arrive with all the ingredients required to create an exceptional gourmet menu, as well as specialized tools they may need. They'll set to work in your kitchen space creating premium dishes and setting the table for a delicious occasion. Table service during your event and clean up afterward are included, allowing you to spend time with your guests.
What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?
Some of the more popular cuisines when you hire a chef for dinner include surf and turf and steakhouse specialties, Asian and New American fare. Italian creations that capture the spirit of favorite eateries like Bestia and European delights like those served at The Little Door provide restaurant-style menus to make your occasion truly special. You will also find several luxury Michelin-star-caliber dishes. If you have a favorite global cuisine or a preferred menu based on special dietary needs such as vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free, you’ll find many in-home chefs providing elegant workarounds to accommodate your requirements. If you still have questions about cuisines, simply reach out to our concierge team to learn more.
How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?
Choose an experience by scrolling through the available experiences on this page and choosing one that entices you. Your Los Angeles chef will follow up with further details and instructions to get your plans underway. Should you have special requirements for larger parties or specialty arrangements, you can reach out to concierge services to make specific accommodations before booking a private chef for a dinner party.
How much should I tip my private chef?
Tipping is definitely not required. But if you’d like to tip, anywhere between 10% and 25% of the total cost of your event would be suitable.
Where do the experiences take place?
Private chef experiences take place at your chosen location, whether you book a chef to cook at your home or a site chosen for your event (e.g. a vacation rental space if you are visiting Los Angeles), provided the locale has a clean kitchen with working appliances. Whether you’re located in Echo Park, North Hollywood or Van Nuys, you’ll find private chef listings that bring the thrill of gourmet dining to you.
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!
Elevate a dining experience
Nikki
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.
Impress your guests
Chrystal
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.
