A personal chef for any occasion in Mykonos
Since the first private chef joined Take a Chef in Mykonos in April 2017, more than 104 Private Chefs have joined our platform in Mykonos and offered their services as private chefs anywhere in Nomós Kykládon.
Tell us the dates, the size of your group and what you want to eat, and we turn that into a brief the chefs actually work from. You do not repeat yourself and you do not chase anyone.
From there we put together a shortlist of chefs who fit what you asked for, and we explain why each one suits your group. Since 2017, our chefs have prepared 3,296 menus in Mykonos and exchanged 6,546 messages settling the details, across requests covering 9,790 guests, with an average rating of 4.66 out of 5. We stay on the thread while the menu, the timings and the total are agreed, and everything you settle stays in writing. If something changes after that, we remain responsible for the service you booked.
Most groups in Mykonos book a chef for a villa rather than a single dinner: the average table is seven or eight people, and the most common occasions are friends travelling together, bachelor and bachelorette weekends and birthdays. Across the 9,790 guests covered by requests in Mykonos, menus usually land around 69 EUR per person with 4.21 courses, and guests exchange an average of 5.47 messages before it is settled.
Mediterranean and Greek island cooking are what people ask for most here, followed by whatever the chef suggests from the market that morning. If you have never had a chef cook where you are staying, this is the easiest way to do it: you decide what the week looks like, and we make it happen.
Frequently asked questions
Below, you can find the most common questions about private chef services in Mykonos.
Everything from the brief to the clean kitchen. In practice, for a villa in Mykonos that means:
- A menu built from what you told us: how many of you, which nights, allergies, what the group actually likes;
- The shopping, sourced locally by the chef on the day;
- Prep before arrival, so the cooking does not take over your evening;
- The menu cooked in the villa kitchen, whatever its size;
- Full table service, indoors or on the terrace;
- The kitchen and the spaces used left as they were found.
Tableware and glassware are not included, and many villas already have both. Drinks are usually separate. Whatever is agreed, including the total, stays in writing before the date so there is one version of it.
The price of renting a chef in Mykonos can vary depending on the specifics, but smaller groups tend to have a slightly different price per person compared to larger gatherings.
Booking prices range from 63 EUR to 114 EUR. For groups of 13 people or more, the price is 63 EUR per person. For groups of 7 to 12 people, the cost is 62 EUR per person. For groups of 3 to 6 people, the rate is 83 EUR per person, and for 2 people, the price is 114 EUR per person.
Seasonal ingredients, your location, and how soon you book also affect the final price. If you're interested in getting free quotes with no obligation, fill out our form and let the best chefs near you send unique proposals for your event.
Tell us the dates, how many of you there are, where you are staying and anything the group cannot or will not eat. That is the whole of your side of it.
We turn that into a brief and line up chefs who fit it, usually within a few hours. Each one comes with a full profile and a menu written for your group, and with the reason we think they suit you. You compare and you choose.
From there we take care of the payment and the conditions, we coordinate with the chef on access and timings, and we confirm the final details before the date. If anything changes, you tell us and we are responsible for sorting it out.
There are currently 104 chefs available in Mykonos. Fill out a form specifying your needs and the date. Take a Chef will connect you with the best available chefs in Mykonos who will send you their menu proposals. You can then choose the chef and menu that suits you best.
There is no hard limit, and in Mykonos the tables are bigger than average: most bookings here are groups of seven to twelve, and thirteen or more is common in the larger villas. The average table on the island is around seven or eight guests.
What matters more than the number is the kitchen. Tell us how many of you there are and roughly what the villa kitchen is like, and we factor both into the brief so the chefs proposing know what they are working with.
Yes, the chef always prepares the menu at your home for a more personalized experience. However, some prep work might be done beforehand for complex dishes.
Absolutely! Many guests are passionate about food and relish the chance to learn from the chef. You can pick up new kitchen skills and get a behind-the-scenes look at each dish on the menu. Feel free to jump in and cook alongside the chef for a truly interactive experience!
Yes, they're 100% fresh. Unlike restaurants with pre-made dishes, private chefs prioritize using the freshest ingredients possible. This is because the chef creates a customized menu specifically for you, then goes out and sources the finest ingredients to bring your chosen dishes to life.
Drinks are not usually included, but they do not have to be a loose end. If you want the chef to bring wine, pair it with the menu or shop for the bar, say so when you tell us about the booking and it goes into the proposal with its own price.
In a villa most groups stock their own drinks and ask the chef to handle only the pairing. Either way, what is included and what is not is set out in writing before you book, so the total you see is the total.
Tipping for private chefs is entirely at your discretion. Our goal is for you to have an unforgettable experience, and the chef always appreciates a nice tip. However, the decision and amount are completely up to you.

Cost of a private chef in Mykonos

For 13 people or more: 63 EUR
For 7 to 12 people: 62 EUR
For 3 to 6 people: 83 EUR

What moves the final number is the season, how far from Chora you are staying and how much notice you give. August books out first.
Before you commit to anything, you see the total for your group: the menu, the shopping, the cooking, the service and the clean kitchen, with anything extra named separately. We handle the payment and the conditions inside one structured process, so nothing appears afterwards that was not agreed beforehand.
What is the most reserved type of cuisine in Mykonos?
We mainly offer six types of cuisine in Mykonos: Mediterranean, Italian, French, Japanese, Mexican, and surprise. The type of cuisine with the highest number of bookings is the Mediterranean, but you can have anything you want (our surprise menu will cover that!).
Beyond these six types of cuisine, our private chefs personalize diverse menus for their clients every day, adjusting every detail to find the perfect menu for every occasion and every group. Our private chefs can accommodate any allergy or dietary restriction and suggest other cuisines or fusion dishes. Submit your request and hire a chef in Mykonos!
A chef for your villa in Mykonos, not just for one dinner
You rented a villa in Mykonos with people you actually want to spend time with, and now someone has to think about breakfast, about the boat day, about where thirteen of you are going to eat on a Saturday in August. That is the part nobody booked a holiday for.
Tell us what the week looks like and we shape the service around it: which nights are dinners, whether lunch matters, what the kitchen you are staying in can actually handle. We line up chefs who fit that brief, and we explain why each one suits the group rather than handing you a list to work through.
What the chef brings, what time they arrive, how the kitchen is left, what the total comes to. All of it is agreed in writing before you commit to anything.
Our Private Chefs in Mykonos go the extra mile
Finding a chef is the easy part. Making sure the right one turns up, at the right hour, with a menu that matches what your group eats, is the part that decides how the week goes.
That is where we work. We read your brief, we pick out the chefs who fit it, and you see a full profile for each one before deciding: where they have cooked, what guests in Mykonos have said about them, photographs of their actual dishes. The 55 rated reviews we have from this island average 4.67 out of 5, and the ones that mention allergies or a house full of different diets are the ones worth reading.
You choose. From that point we coordinate with the chef, confirm the details and we remain responsible for the service you booked.
Booking the chef is only the beginning
Booking the chef is only the beginning. The week still has to work: the shopping, the arrival time, the villa manager who needs to know someone is coming, the guest who cannot eat shellfish and would rather not make it a whole conversation.
We handle the payment and the conditions inside one structured process, so the total, what it includes and what happens if plans change are all known before the date. We coordinate with the chef in the days beforehand and confirm access, timings and the final menu. If something shifts while you are here, you have one place to say so and we stay responsible for sorting it out.
The difference is not only who cooks. It is everything around the cooking that makes the service work.
Talk to our chefs in Mykonos
The chefs who work in Mykonos cook what the island does best: Mediterranean menus and Greek island cooking are what guests here ask for most, with seafood straight from the morning market close behind. Tell us the dates, the group and how you want to eat, and we put together a shortlist of chefs who fit your brief, each with the reason they suit your table.
