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 · Sharjah
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
We had clients flying in from Singapore and needed something that would land. Chef Andrea did a six-course tasting menu on our terrace overlooking the marina. One of the guests said it beat the Michelin place they'd been to the night before.
Booked a live grill station for my son's graduation. The chef cooked in front of everyone, the kids were mesmerised, and I didn't touch a single pan all evening. Worth every dirham.
As an expat I missed proper home cooking. Found a Lebanese chef on UpChef who now does a monthly mezze night for our friends. It's become the thing everyone in our building asks to be invited to.
