Dinner above the city. Your chef sets up on your rooftop or terrace — a private restaurant with the best view in the room.
Private chef · Milan
Dubai's rooftop and terrace culture is year-round from October through April — the temperature is right, the skyline is there, and the format lends itself to a kind of dinner that restaurants try to replicate but rarely manage: genuinely private, outdoors, with a view that is actually yours.
A private chef for a rooftop dinner plans the menu around the cooking setup available: a portable induction station, a barbecue, or access to the indoor kitchen. Most chefs experienced in outdoor dining will advise on the menu format — cold courses and pre-prepared elements work better than multi-burner dishes when the kitchen is a terrace. A sharing feast, a graze-and-grill format, or a paired cocktail-and-small-plates structure often suits a rooftop better than a formal plated menu.
Tell your chef the terrace setup, the access to indoor cooking, and the occasion. They'll design the menu to the space.
Real experiences
The live chat made it so easy — I described what I wanted and had three menus to choose from within the hour. No back-and-forth emails, no stress.
Hosted a big family lunch and didn't lift a finger. The kids had their own menu, my mother actually sat down to eat for once, and the kitchen was spotless after.
In Italy everyone thinks they know food, so hiring a chef felt almost cheeky. Then he made a fresh pasta course at our table that my father — a man who never compliments anyone — called the best he'd had outside his mother's kitchen.
FAQ
Everything about booking a private chef for rooftop & terrace dining in Milan.
Most portable-outdoor-experienced chefs bring induction burners or can arrange a BBQ. Confirm the setup when booking — the menu is designed around what's available on the terrace.
A sharing or grazing format — multiple cold courses, a grill station, generous sides — works better than a formal plated tasting menu. It suits the relaxed outdoor setting and is more forgiving when people move around.
October through April. Summer evenings are too hot for outdoor dining in Dubai. Book early for peak season (December–February) as weekend dates fill quickly.
Eight to twenty guests is ideal. Larger groups require more cooking infrastructure than most terraces can support.
