FAQS ABOUT PRIVATE CHEFS in Baltimore

How much does a private chef in Baltimore cost?

The cost of a private chef for a dinner party is based on the number of guests and the culinary experience selected. Prices start at $59 per person and can exceed $100, including local sales tax. Children’s menus are available and discounted. During the booking process, the cost of the experience will automatically adjust once you enter the group size. Modifications and additions to the menu may alter the final cost. If you need assistance with booking your in-home chef for a dinner party, our friendly concierge team is always available to help and answer your questions.

What is included when you hire a chef for the night?

When you hire a chef for the night, you can look forward to a delicious meal and outstanding service, allowing you to host with ease. Your in-home chef will take care of every detail, from sourcing the finest ingredients to cleaning your kitchen before they leave. Each dish will be prepared on-site, beautifully plated, and served with finesse. If your chef requires special equipment, such as a hibachi grill, they will bring it along. Hire a chef for dinner and rediscover the joy of entertaining.

What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?

Baltimore chefs are some of the best, skilled in preparing a wide range of cuisines. While Asian, Italian, and surf-and-turf dishes are always popular choices, your private chef experience goes beyond typical favorites. Your in-home chef will craft a personalized menu tailored to your event, whether you’re craving homemade pasta with an authentic Little Italy touch or a lavish seafood feast reminiscent of the finest dining in Fells Point. From innovative appetizers to exquisite entrées and indulgent desserts, your private chef will bring your culinary vision to life – there’s no shortage of options.

How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?

It’s as easy to hire a chef in Baltimore as it is to stain your fingers red while enjoying a crab feast. Just select one of the exceptional culinary experiences on this page and input your date, time, and group size. That’s it! Once your booking is confirmed, your private chef will contact you to discuss the details and yummy menu. If you need assistance or have any questions, our concierge team is here to help you rent a chef near you.

How much should I tip my private chef?

When you hire a private chef for a dinner party, leaving a tip is optional and completely at your discretion. However, if you’d like to show appreciation for your chef’s courteous service and authentic dishes, such as their delicious crab cakes with tangy remoulade sauce and char-grilled oysters with prosecco granita, a tip of 10% to 25% of the total cost is suitable.

Where do the experiences take place?

When you hire chefs to cook at your home, your experience can unfold in any iconic neighborhood, from the Inner Harbor to Federal Hill. Whether it’s an upscale dinner with Chesapeake Bay crabcakes and tender filet mignon or a relaxed crab feast in Hampden, your chef will craft a customized menu perfect for your special occasion. With access to your fully equipped kitchen, your private chef brings top-tier service and gourmet flavors straight to your door. From Fells Point to Canton and every charming block in between, hiring an in-home chef for a dinner party makes entertaining in Charm City effortless.

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!

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.
