For guests who notice the difference. A private chef for VIP hosting — bespoke menus, flawless service, the standard your guests expect.
Private chef · Arar
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
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.
We booked Chef Hassan for our National Day gathering, 35 guests in the garden. He turned up with everything, cooked a full Saudi spread, and the kabsa honestly tasted like my grandmother made it. Three of my aunts asked for his number before dessert.
I was nervous about hosting my wife's family for the first time. The chef walked me through the menu over chat, showed up early, and left my kitchen cleaner than he found it. I just had to sit and enjoy being a guest at my own table.

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.
