For guests who notice the difference. A private chef for VIP hosting — bespoke menus, flawless service, the standard your guests expect.
Private chef · Dubai
VIP hosting is not about impressing — it is about matching an expectation. Guests who occupy the level you are hosting them at have eaten in the world's best restaurants. They can tell the difference between a well-executed private dinner and a catered event with a private label. A private chef on UpChef, selected for their fine-dining background, closes that gap.
VIP private chef dinners in Dubai are typically eight to sixteen guests, seated, with a five-to-seven course menu and wine or non-alcoholic pairings. The menu is agreed in detail in advance — dietary requirements across the guest list, cuisine preferences, whether the occasion calls for a contemporary tasting menu, a French-technique dinner, a Japanese kaiseki-inspired format, or a Khaleeji celebratory spread. Your chef has a documented background; you can review it before confirming.
The service standard matters as much as the food. Courses are cleared between each; timing is controlled; the chef remains in the kitchen unless presenting a dish. The evening is yours to run; the food is theirs to execute.
Real experiences
I booked for an anniversary and the chef quietly turned our flat into the best restaurant in town for one night. Worth every penny.
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.

Contemporary European, French technique, Japanese omakase-inspired, and elevated Khaleeji are the most common formats for high-end private dining in Dubai. Discuss with your chef what they do at their best level.
Two to three weeks minimum. For events that require sourcing specific ingredients (A5 wagyu, specific imported seafood, black truffle), three to four weeks is better.
