A Private Chef always prepares the menu at the client's home, as it is an inherent part of the experience.

Therefore, the freshness of the ingredients is one of the key elements of a Private Chef service.
Drinks are not included by default. However, you can reach an agreement with the chef in order to add drinks as an "extra" to the menu proposal.
Each guest can freely decide the tip he/she wishes to give to the chef, as it is up to their discretion. On average, based on the tips given by 174 guests in Puerto Cruz, guests usually tip 14,72% of the total amount to their Private Chef.
