Contratar un chef privado no es pagar solo la comida: es una cena de restaurante en tu casa, sin compras, sin cocinar y sin lavar. Por eso el precio depende menos del plato y más de tres cosas: cuántos pasos tiene el menú, cuántas personas son y qué día es.

Qué incluye el precio

Qué hace variar el precio

¿Conviene frente a un restaurante?

Para dos personas, un restaurante de alta cocina con vino suele costar parecido. La diferencia aparece en grupo: en casa no hay traslados, la mesa es solo tuya y el menú se arma a tu medida. Si estás pensando en una ocasión especial, mirá la cena romántica en casa o la degustación de 7 pasos.

Hiring a private chef is not just paying for food: it is a restaurant dinner at home, with no shopping, cooking or dishes. That's why the price depends less on the dish and more on three things: how many courses, how many guests and which day.

What changes the price

Is it worth it compared to a restaurant?

For two people, a fine-dining restaurant with wine usually costs about the same. The difference shows in groups: at home there is no travel, the table is all yours and the menu is made to measure. For a special occasion, see the romantic dinner at home or the 7-course tasting.
