About Take a Chef
Since 2012, Take a Chef has connected guests with private chefs who cook a personalized menu in their home or holiday rental. More than 2.3 million guests have already enjoyed the experience.
What is Take a Chef?
Take a Chef is an online platform where you can book a private chef for any occasion: a dinner with friends, a birthday, a family holiday or a company event. You tell us what you want, chefs send you menu proposals designed for you, and you chat with them until the menu is just right. On the day, the chef takes care of everything: shopping, cooking, serving at your table and cleaning up afterwards.

To take the best culinary talent out of restaurant kitchens and bring it to the place where we enjoy our most treasured meals: our own dining table.

TECHNOLOGY
We're focused on creating a seamless booking experience to foster personalization and connection between chefs and guests.
FOOD
We've curated a selection of chefs based on their expertise and passion to grant our guests access to every cuisine in the world.
HOSPITALITY
We turn chefs into hosts to build meaningful connections with their guests, from the first message till the final toast.
