FAQS ABOUT PRIVATE CHEFS in New Orleans
How much does a private chef in New Orleans cost?
The cost can vary with tiered pricing applied based on your total headcount. Each available experience in New Orleans is listed on this page with a starting cost per person. Typically, the cost is between $59 and over $100 per person. This price will automatically adjust based on your expected group size. In addition to the base cost, a local sales tax will be assessed. If you intend on tipping your chef, remember to include the amount in your overall bill. But tipping is definitely not required. If you have further questions about the cost of a private chef for a dinner party or similar event, just reach out to Cozymeal’s concierge team to learn more.
What is included when you hire a chef for the night?
Your in-home chef will provide all ingredients required to create the chosen menu and will arrive ahead of the event to get started. They’ll prepare all dishes onsite, provide table service and clean up after the meal is finished. They’ll also bring any specialized tools required for their process.
What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?
Global cuisine is a popular choice amongst chefs in New Orleans, with treasured selections from French, Italian and Asian traditions making frequent appearances. With ready access to fresh seafood and bountiful farm ingredients, meals on par with favorite local restaurants like Pêche Seafood Grill and GW Fins are dependable selections. Select menus offer luxury, Michelin-quality dishes for a truly fine dining experience. There’s a variety of domestic specialties to choose from as well, everything from New American creations to downhome comfort food. And for gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian eaters, you’ll find gourmet spreads that are sure to satisfy.
How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?
To hire a chef for dinner at home or for a fun experience at a local venue, browse the menus on this page to find a listing that suits your tastes and check the dates available. Then, click “Contact Chef” and start a conversation about your private chef experience. For larger affairs that require a private chef for dinner a party, you can reach out to concierge services to find out how to customize your event to fit your needs.
How much should I tip my private chef?
Though tipping isn’t required, if you wish to tip your New Orleans chef, consider an amount between 10% to 25% of your total bill. Your chef is sure to appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Where do the experiences take place?
In-home chefs for a dinner party are the most common, where you book the chef to cook at your home, allowing for a custom meal experience in familiar comfort. You can also opt for an alternative venue, provided the space includes a clean, working kitchen with fully-functional appliances for your chef to utilize. You’ll find chefs available in regions around the city to give your gourmet moments added magic. Consider hosting a private chef event in the lavish historic streets of the Garden District, the quirky fun of Marginy or the world-famous magic of the French Quarter for additional local flavor.
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.
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.
