A tasting menu designed for two. Your chef cooks and serves at your table — your home becomes the restaurant, the evening is entirely yours.
Anniversary Dinner · Abu Dhabi
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.
FAQ
Everything about booking a private chef for anniversary dinner in Abu Dhabi.
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.

I first marinated and compressed premium watermelon, then slow-cooked it using the sous vide method to deepen its flavour and texture. It is plated with a dressing crafted entirely from the watermelon’s own natural juices, topped with creamy feta mousse and fresh basil. The dish sits on a smooth house-made feta cheese sauce, finished with vibrant herb oil for richness and colour. A perfectly balanced sweet-savoury plant-based experience.
Enjoy tender, juicy grilled beef seasoned to perfection and cooked over the grill for a rich, smoky flavour. Every bite delivers mouthwatering taste, delicious aroma, and a satisfying experience
