FAQS ABOUT PRIVATE CHEFS in Seattle
How much does a private chef in Seattle cost?
The cost of a private chef for a dinner party depends on the culinary experience and the number of guests attending. Prices typically start at $59 per person and can exceed $100, with discounted rates available for children's menus. Local sales tax is included in the price. Each experience provides the base price per person, and as you enter your guest count, the total cost will automatically adjust. Special requests, wine pairings, and extra courses may influence the final price. 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’ll have a seamless and stress-free hosting experience. Every detail will be expertly managed, from sourcing the freshest fish at Pike Place Market to handling all of the clean-up, allowing you to focus on your guests. Your chef will prepare each dish on-site, artfully plate every course, and serve with impeccable style. If needed, specialty cookware such as a hibachi grill will be provided. Whether you're planning a Southeast Asian feast for a birthday celebration in Capitol Hill or a champagne brunch for friends in the U-District, when you hire a chef for dinner, a gourmet meal and exceptional service are delivered.
What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?
When you hire an in-home chef, your menu is fully customizable to reflect your personal tastes and preferences. With expertise in the latest culinary trends and a wide range of global cuisines, Seattle chefs are equipped to design a menu that aligns perfectly with your style. While Italian, Asian, and classic American surf and turf remain timeless favorites, your private chef experience can be as dynamic as the entertainment at The Pink Door. Craving the refinement of Canlis with a Michelin-star-level menu? From Spanish tapas and paella to peppered duck breast with a Bordeaux wine sauce, your chef will curate a menu that elevates any occasion to something extraordinary.
How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?
It’s harder to spot a tourist in Pike Place Market than to hire a chef. Simply browse the selection of exciting culinary experiences listed on this page and choose the theme that best reflects what you have in mind. Select your date, serving time, and the estimated number of guests attending your soirée, then hit “BOOK NOW.” Once your reservation is confirmed, the chef will contact you to discuss the menu, any special requests, and details. If you need any assistance with finding a date or have special requests, please contact our helpful concierge team to rent a chef near you.
How much should I tip my private chef?
Tipping your private chef for a dinner party is entirely optional and is up to your discretion. However, if you'd like to show your appreciation for the chef’s exceptional service, exquisite plating, and five-star dishes, like their short rib pho and homemade donuts, we suggest a tip of 10% to 25% of the total cost as a kind and thoughtful gesture.
Where do the experiences take place?
Hiring chefs to cook at your home lets you entertain on your own terms. Say goodbye to noisy restaurants and restrictive menus. Whether you're in a vacation rental along the Puget Sound or a houseboat on Lake Washington, your chef will craft a personalized menu just for you. As long as your chef has access to a fully equipped kitchen, your bespoke event can take place anywhere, from a sleek downtown high-rise to a charming spot high on the hill in Queen Anne. With every detail tailored to your preferences, booking an in-home chef for a dinner party means a gourmet meal without leaving the comfort of your place.
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.
