FAQS ABOUT PRIVATE CHEFS in Fort Lauderdale
How much does a private chef in Fort Lauderdale cost?
The cost of a private chef for a dinner party depends on your menu and the number of guests. Each listed experience includes a starting price per person based on the suggested menu. Prices typically range from $59 to over $100 per person, with discounted options for children. The all-inclusive rate covers a three to four-course meal, all ingredients, cooking, service, and clean-up. Local sales tax is included in the final price. As you adjust the guest count, the price will automatically update. Please note menu changes, wine pairings, or special requests may affect the total cost. If you need assistance booking an in-home chef for a dinner party, please contact our concierge team.
What is included when you hire a chef for the night?
When you hire a chef for dinner, you’re guaranteed a seamless, stress-free culinary experience in the comfort of your home. Your personal chef will manage every detail, from sourcing the freshest local seafood to handling clean-up after the event. Each dish is prepared on-site and elegantly plated before being served to your guests. Want wine pairings with each course? Hire a chef for the night to expertly complement each dish with the perfect vintage. If your menu calls for specialty equipment, such as a hibachi grill, the chef will bring it. You get all the credit for a memorable evening without lifting a finger.
What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?
Fort Lauderdale chefs are world-class and can craft a wide range of cuisines. While surf and turf, Asian, and Italian dishes are popular choices, your private chef experience is unique and custommade for you. If you’re inspired by the tapas at American, your in-home chef can prepare savory small bites for your cocktail party in Pompano Beach. Like the vibe at Mastro's Ocean Club for your upcoming black-tie dinner party? Your chef will create a Micheling-caliber five-course meal. From a tropical Bahamian menu by the Intracoastal Waterway to a Parisian bistro experience with steak au poivre and crème brûlée in Victoria Park, your private chef will make your culinary vision a reality.
How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?
It’s as easy to hire a chef as it is to spot an angler on Fisher Family Pier in Pompano Beach. Simply browse through the curated selection of culinary experiences and select the one that perfectly suits your event. Then, choose your desired date, time, and guest count. Once your reservation is confirmed, your personal chef will contact you to discuss menu options and finalize event details. Please contact our helpful concierge team to rent a chef if you need assistance finding a date or have special requests.
How much should I tip my private chef?
When you hire a private chef for a dinner party, gratuities are entirely optional and at your discretion. However, if you’d like to show your appreciation for the chef’s outstanding service, impeccable wine pairings, and delicious creations, such as their snapper en papillote and indulgent key lime pie, we suggest a tip of 10% to 25% of the total cost as a thoughtful gesture.
Where do the experiences take place?
When you hire an in-home chef for a dinner party, you get to pick the location. As long as your chef has access to a fully equipped kitchen, your private chef experience can take place at your home in Coral Ridge, by the water in Lauderdale Beach, or even at a vacation rental in Victoria Park. Whether you’re hosting a garden brunch, a Hawaiian luau poolside, or a casual Parisian-inspired soirée in your living room, booking chefs to cook at your home promises a gourmet menu tailored to your preferences.

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!

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.
