FAQS ABOUT PRIVATE CHEFS in San Antonio

How much does a private chef in San Antonio cost?

The cost of a private chef for a dinner party is based on the culinary experience you select and the number of guests attending. Prices generally start at $59 per person and can exceed $100, with a discounted rate available for children's menus. Local sales tax is included in the price. As you explore the culinary experiences on this page, the base price per person is listed. Once you enter your estimated guest count, the total cost will automatically update. Please note that any changes to the menu, wine pairings, or special requests may impact 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?

Hire a chef for dinner and transform your typical dining experience into an unforgettable event. From sourcing the finest local ingredients to preparing a personalized menu on-site, your chef ensures each course is beautifully plated and served with care. If needed, specialty cookware will be provided. The best part? When you hire a chef for the night, you can head to bed when the guests leave since clean-up is included. Whether you're hosting a seasonal brunch in Tobin Hill or celebrating a special occasion with surf and turf in Alamo Heights, your personal chef will create a flawless and truly memorable experience.

What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?

San Antonio chefs are top-tier and specialize in a wide range of exceptional cuisines. While timeless favorites like surf and turf, Italian, and Asian dishes are always popular, your private chef experience is uniquely customized to your preferences. Whether you're drawn to the French comfort food of Brasserie Mon Chou Chou for an intimate dinner or the modern American cuisine of Bliss for a stylish cocktail party, your in-home chef will design the perfect menu for your occasion. For those seeking luxury, imagine an eight-course tasting menu featuring delicacies like caviar and black truffles. With these upscale options, your event will be an unforgettable culinary experience.

How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?

It’s as easy to hire a private chef as it is to find a delicious taco in the city. Just scroll through the mouthwatering culinary experiences on this page and choose the one that best fits your vision for the event. Enter the event date, time, and guest count, then click "BOOK NOW." Once your reservation is confirmed, you’ll be contacted by your chef to personalize the menu and discuss any special requests. Please contact our helpful concierge team to rent a chef if you need any assistance with 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, leaving a gratuity is completely optional and at your discretion. However, if you’d like to show your appreciation for your chef’s exceptional service and heavenly dishes, such as their tender braised short ribs or spicy chili con carne, a tip of 10% to 25% of the total cost is a thoughtful way to express your gratitude.

Where do the experiences take place?

Your experience can take place anywhere when you hire chefs to cook at your home. Avoid crowded restaurants and set menus, and indulge in a phenomenal meal that doesn’t require a dress code. Book an in-home chef for a dinner party and serve Texas barbecue in King William or a farm-to-table brunch riverside in Mission Reach. As long as your chef has access to a fully equipped kitchen, the possibilities are endless. Picture enjoying a sizzling hibachi feast in your backyard or savoring homemade enchiladas and tamales on your cozy terrace in Elm Creek. No matter the setting, your private chef will craft a truly unique and memorable dining experience.

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.
