FAQS ABOUT PRIVATE CHEFS in Scottsdale
How much does a private chef in Scottsdale cost?
The cost will vary depending on the menu and occasion, with tiered pricing based on headcount. It is most typical for experiences to range between $59 and over $100 per person. While you review available experiences on this page, you will see the starting per person cost displayed with each listing. This price will automatically adjust based on your group size. You’ll also be assessed a local sales tax to round out your total bill. You can learn more about the cost of a private chef for a dinner party or similar culinary event by contacting our concierge team.
What is included when you hire a chef for the night?
A local Scottsdale chef will provide everything required to craft a one-of-a-kind menu for you and your guests, from ingredients to specialty tools required to complete the meal. They’ll serve your crew and provide a warm, professional atmosphere that bests your favorite local restaurant. When dinner is finished, you’ll linger with your guests while your private chef cleans up and leaves your kitchen as good as new.
What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?
Private chefs in Scottsdale are known for many Southwestern and Tex-Mex options that maximize the fresh ingredients of the region. You’ll also find an array of choices like steakhouse dishes that rival nearby Dominick’s, New American fare similar to favorite local restaurant Culinary Dropout and Asian and Italian selections that offer your experience a range of domestic possibilities. You can also find luxury menus with Michelin-quality French menus and more. The menus are always changing, with new events added regularly that bring international fare and trendy selections online for you to feature in your private chef encounters.
How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?
To hire a chef for dinner or a special event, choose an event on this page that fits your vision, select a date that works from the calendar and click “Contact Chef” to get the process started. If the menu is customizable, you’ll work with your chef to decide on a finished selection of incredible dishes based on your preferences. And if you’d like to discuss special considerations you may need with hiring a private chef for a dinner party or similar group event, please contact Cozymeal’s concierge team to learn more.
How much should I tip my private chef?
Adding a tip to your in-home chef experience is not required, though it’s a thoughtful way to show your appreciation. Choosing an amount between 10% to 25% of the total bill is a workable guideline. If you’re eager to express your appreciation for exceptional service, you can go with a higher amount.
Where do the experiences take place?
For many, booking a chef to cook at your home is the most convenient way to experience an in-home chef for a dinner party, but you can also choose a venue that better suits the event. Your chef requires access to a clean kitchen with working appliances that’s ready to use for prepping your meal. You may also find listings that make use of locales around neighborhoods like Old Town Scottsdale, Downtown Phoenix and nearby Tempe to add an electric atmosphere to your experience. Whether you book an in-home chef for a dinner party or take your experience to a local venue nearby, you are bound to have an amazing time.
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.
