What you can book with a private chef in Miami

Whether you search for a private chef, a personal chef or a chef at home in Miami, you are looking for the same thing: an Italian or European chef who comes to your house, condo or vacation rental, cooks a menu designed around your guests and leaves the kitchen as they found it.

Private dinner at home

Date nights, anniversaries and birthdays: a multi-course Italian or European menu cooked in your kitchen and served at your table, whether that table is in Coconut Grove or on a Brickell balcony.

Parties and events

Dinner parties, family reunions and celebrations with friends from out of town, with a menu scaled to your group.

Personal chef for several days

Vacations and longer stays: the same chef cooks breakfast, lunch or dinner for as many days as you need.

Holiday dinners

Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve dinners cooked and served at home, so the whole family can sit at the table.

Cuisines

Italian, Mediterranean and European cuisine: handmade pasta, risotto, local fish and shrimp cooked the Italian way, slow-cooked meats and classic desserts, plus vegetarian and vegan menus.

Popular areas in Miami

Authentic Italian & European dining in your Miami home

Chef On Demand brings you an Italian or European private chef in Miami for the evenings you want to spend at the table, not at the stove: a birthday on a Brickell terrace, a winter dinner for friends who flew in from the Northeast, a family Thanksgiving in Coral Gables. You pick the menu; the grocery shopping, the cooking, the service and the final cleanup are your chef's job.

Italian and European flavors, cooked in your Miami kitchen

Miami has restaurants from every corner of the world, and a table at the right one can take weeks. At home the evening is yours. We match you with an Italian or European private chef who cooks the dishes of their own tradition, from handmade pasta and risotto to slow-cooked ragù and Mediterranean seafood, with produce bought fresh that morning. South Florida gives a chef plenty to work with: local fish and shrimp, tropical fruit from the Homestead farms, citrus and tomatoes through the winter. Every plate is cooked to order and served at your table, whether that table is in a Key Biscayne house or a condo overlooking Biscayne Bay.

What to expect from a private chef evening in Miami

Your Italian or European private chef experience in Miami starts in the afternoon, when your chef arrives with the ingredients bought for your menu and sets up in your kitchen. Over the next few hours the pasta is rolled by hand, the sauces simmer, the fish goes on at the last minute and dessert is plated while you are still at the table. Cooking, plating, serving and cleanup are all handled by your chef, so you never have to leave your guests. If you live in a condo building, let the front desk know your chef is coming: a few minutes of notice is usually all it takes.

A taste of Italy, cooked for your Miami table

An example of an Italian menu for a dinner in Miami — Aperitivo: burrata with roasted peppers and basil on crostini. Primo: handmade spaghetti alla chitarra with Key West pink shrimp, garlic, chili and lemon. Secondo: whole roasted yellowtail snapper with capers, Taggiasca olives and a lemon butter sauce. Dolce: classic tiramisù with mascarpone and Italian espresso. In season, Florida stone crab can open the evening.

Menus are fully customizable: this is one example of the Italian dishes your chef might prepare, and every course can change around your guests.

Insider tip

Book your Italian or European private chef at least 5-7 days in advance, so your chef can plan your menu and shop for the best seasonal produce. Miami's busiest weeks run from December to April, when seasonal residents are back and Art Basel fills the calendar: for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve, book two to three weeks ahead.
