Event Catering Personal Chef in Duque de Caxias
Chef-prepared catering for celebrations in Caxias — Nordestino feasts, backyard churrasco and full family parties, cooked and served at your home. No crossing into Rio, and no generic buffet trays.
Why Caxias Hosts Are Booking Personal Chefs
Restaurant-Quality Food, This Side of Avenida Brasil
Chefs from Rio rarely cross into the Baixada, and driving to the Zona Sul for a special dinner means an hour or more in traffic each way. myChef connects you with chefs who work right here in Caxias — bringing the fine-dining experience the city's income deserves to your own table.
Built for Big Family Parties
Caxias entertains the Northeastern way: extended families of 30, 40, 50 people gathered at home. A personal chef scales carne de sol com aipim, vatapá and feijão de corda to feed everyone hot and on time — something a tray-delivery buffet never manages.
Your Quintal Becomes the Venue
The condos of Jardim Primavera, the houses of Campos Elíseos and the sítios of Xerém have the space to host; what was missing was the kitchen firepower. Your chef brings live stations, professional service and cleanup, so the party happens where you already are.

Plan the Party Menu
Share the occasion — a birthday, a batizado, a churrasco for the building, a confraternização for a REDUC contractor team — plus guest count, dietary needs and budget. Your chef builds the menu around it.
The Chef Shops and Cooks On-Site
Ingredients come from the famous Sunday feira, the Mercado do Produtor and local suppliers. On the day, the chef arrives early, sets up your kitchen or quintal, and prepares everything fresh — with assistants for larger parties.
You Join Your Own Party
Food is served hot and on schedule, guests are looked after, and the kitchen is cleaned before the chef leaves.
What to Expect
Menus With Caxias Flavor
Carne de sol com aipim, vatapá, acarajé, chouriço na brasa, a full feijoada or a classic churrasco — your chef cooks the food this city actually celebrates with, elevated to event standard.
Flexible Formats
A live churrasco station in the quintal, an assisted buffet, passed appetizers or a plated dinner — the service adapts to your space and the style of the party.
Feira-Fresh Ingredients
Chefs source from the 2,000-plus stalls of the Feira de Duque de Caxias, the Mercado Municipal and Mercado do Produtor, fresh fish from Guanabara Bay and galinha caipira from the sítios of Xerém and Imbariê.
Scales to Your Guest List
From an intimate dinner for 10 to a family celebration for 60+, your chef sizes the team, equipment and menu to match.
Full Cleanup
After the last plate goes out, the chef and team leave your kitchen and quintal exactly as they found them.

Event Catering Rooted in the Baixada
Caxias has a food identity most caterers ignore. Built by waves of Northeastern migrants, the city eats Nordestino — and its Sunday feira on Avenida Presidente Vargas, 2.5 kilometers of stalls and the second-largest open-air market in Brazil, was declared municipal intangible heritage in 2015. A personal chef takes those same flavors — carne de sol, vatapá, manteiga de garrafa, beiju — and plates them at your party with the energy of a forró night, instead of the frozen-salgadinho spread every buffet delivers.
The city also has the spaces to host. Jardim Primavera, called the Barra da Tijuca of the Baixada, is full of condos with party areas; Campos Elíseos and Centro have houses with generous quintais; and the cooler districts of Xerém and Imbariê, up toward the Serra dos Órgãos, hide sítios made for weekend feijoadas. Chefs on myChef work all of them — including around the irregular shift calendars of REDUC families, where the party happens when the escala allows.
Local Tip
For a summer party, follow the local playbook: host at a sítio in Xerém or Imbariê where the air is cooler, and ask your chef for a feijoada or galinha caipira lunch after the cachoeira. In June and July, a festa junina menu built from the feira's Northeastern staples is the guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Pricing
Event catering in Duque de Caxias costs well below Rio's Zona Sul rates for the same quality of cooking. Prices vary with guest count, menu and service format; events at sítios in the 3rd and 4th districts may add a small travel fee.
R$45 - R$160 per person
