A family dinner where no one cooks and no one clears. Your chef feeds the whole table — generous, personal, exactly what the family wants.
Private chef · Venice
Family dinners are logistically complicated: different ages, dietary needs, preferences, children who will eat one thing, grandparents with restrictions, a host who ends up in the kitchen for three hours and arrives at the table exhausted. A private chef solves all of this and adds something the best family cooks rarely manage — a level of execution and quantity that doesn't come at the cost of anyone's evening.
Family dinner formats in Dubai typically run as a generous shared feast rather than a plated tasting menu. Your chef prepares a spread — a proper selection of starters, two or three mains that accommodate the range of tastes at the table, sides, and a dessert that doesn't come in individual portions from a box. Everyone eats well; no one was standing at the stove when the guests arrived.
The chef handles dietary needs across the table. Children's portions, vegetarian guests, anyone avoiding gluten or dairy — give your chef the full picture in your booking notes and they'll plan every course to cover it.
Real experiences
In Italy everyone thinks they know food, so hiring a chef felt almost cheeky. Then he made a fresh pasta course at our table that my father — a man who never compliments anyone — called the best he'd had outside his mother's kitchen.
Anniversary dinner for two at home. Candles, a tasting menu, and a chef who disappeared into the kitchen and let us forget he was there. It felt like the most exclusive restaurant in the city, except it was our flat.
We hosted friends visiting from abroad and wanted to show them real Tuscan cooking, not a tourist trap. The chef built the whole evening around local produce and wine. They left planning their next trip back.
