Private chef in Paris:
Your Michelin-starred table without leaving your living room

Average home chef price in Paris: when booking via MyTable, expect an average price between €55 and €165 per person, excluding any optional extras (travel, wine, butler...). A bistro-style menu usually costs between €55 and €105 per person, while a tasting menu for a gastronomic experience costs between €120 and €160 per person. For an intimate dinner or a large-scale event, the price is established on a quote with the chef. The basic quote is transparent and free of hidden fees; the options are always detailed separately. This average varies depending on the number of guests and the chosen formula; the total budget is controlled from the very first contact.

This is the daily reality of our chefs in Haussmann-style apartments. An area of 4 to 5 square meters with two burners, a standard oven, and a sink is perfectly sufficient. The chef brings their own supplementary equipment, knives, and plating accessories. This expertise also extends to service on Parisian terraces or balconies during the fine weather.

Your kitchen is left in an impeccably clean state. The chef cleans and disinfects their countertops, washes all used utensils and plates, and takes out the trash. You finish your evening with your guests with peace of mind, without any dishes to deal with at bedtime.

Each menu is fully customizable in advance. Our chefs precisely adapt the dishes to dietary intolerances (gluten-free, lactose-free), ethical diets, or religious requirements (vegetarian, vegan, kosher, halal). For families, a dedicated children's menu can be served earlier in the evening to allow parents to enjoy a peaceful dinner among adults afterwards.

Absolutely. He sources his ingredients the very same morning from their partner artisans and neighborhood markets (Aligre, Enfants Rouges, Batignolles, and Bastille markets), as well as from renowned fishmongers and butchers in the capital. The products are fresh, fully in season, and prepared on the very day of your event.

Our private chefs operate in all 20 arrondissements of Paris as well as throughout the inner and outer suburbs (Neuilly-sur-Seine, Boulogne-Billancourt, Levallois, Versailles, Saint-Cloud, Vincennes, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, etc.). Parking restrictions and pedestrian zones in the historic center are fully integrated into the chef's logistics.

This is the strength of a guide driven by a professional chef: your payments remain capped until the end of the service. In the event of force majeure or last-minute obstacles, Guide MyTable searches for an equivalent chef to ensure your reception, and in the absence of this, it fully refunds you.

For weekends and peak periods (May-June, end-of-year holidays), ideally book 2 to 4 weeks in advance. For a dinner or event on a weekday, a 5 to 7 day lead time is often sufficient. Depending on the schedules of our brigade, last-minute availability (under 48h to 72h) can also be confirmed. For a special request, such as monthly chef reservations for your regular dinners, please write to the Guide team via our Contact form.

A private chef designs a custom menu and cooks live in your home, with table service tailored to the occasion: this is the service offered by Guide MyTable. An in-home cook can refer to the same service on a smaller budget, often without service or the staging of the meal. A caterer, on the other hand, prepares dishes in advance in their own kitchen and delivers them ready-made, without the chef's presence or personalized services on the day of the event. For a private dinner or an event where experience and freshness take precedence, the in-home chef remains the highest-quality option.
