A tasting menu designed for two. Your chef cooks and serves at your table — your home becomes the restaurant, the evening is entirely yours.
Private chef · Cancún
An anniversary dinner in a restaurant puts you at a table surrounded by strangers, on a fixed menu, with a two-hour turn. A private chef inverts everything: your home, your table, a menu built around the dishes that matter to you — and no one watching the clock.
Your chef arrives two to three hours before the first course. In that time they prep, season and time each dish precisely. Most anniversary menus run five to seven courses: an amuse-bouche, cold and warm starters, a fish course, a main — typically a dry-aged beef, a rack of lamb, or a sea bass cooked in a pan you haven't touched — and a dessert your chef finishes at the table. Wine pairings can be discussed in advance; many chefs will advise on bottles to have ready.
The dishes are cleared between courses. When the last plate is gone, your chef cleans the kitchen and leaves. The evening is what you made of it — not what a full dining room allowed.
Real experiences
Booking a private chef felt like a luxury until I actually did it. The whole thing was simpler than a restaurant reservation, and the evening was unforgettable.
Restaurant-quality food at my own table, with none of the hosting stress. I'll never go back to cooking for big groups myself.
From the first message to the last plate, everything was handled. My guests thought I'd hired a caterer twice the price.
FAQ
Everything about booking a private chef for anniversary dinner in Cancún.
Five to seven days for weekend evenings. This gives your chef time to source specific ingredients — a particular cut of meat, fresh truffles, a dessert that needs preparation the day before. For very specific requests (wagyu, caviar, imported cheeses), ten days is better.
Yes. Most private chefs treat an anniversary dinner as a collaboration. Chat directly with your chef via the app — tell them what you love, what you don't, whether you want French technique, contemporary, or a menu built around a place you've been. They propose the courses; you approve before anything is confirmed.
For two guests in Dubai, expect AED 350–600 per person for a five-to-seven course tasting menu with tableside service. The price is set by the chef and shown in full before you confirm — no service charges added on top of the chef's fee beyond UpChef's small platform fee.
Yes. Shopping, prep, cooking, plating, serving each course and clearing the kitchen are all included. You provide the kitchen, the table, and the guests.
