A Personal Chef for a Birthday Party Worth Remembering
Stop stressing over the menu and start enjoying the celebration. A myChef personal chef prepares a custom birthday feast in your home — from appetizers to a show-stopping dessert — while you focus on your guests.
Why Hosts Choose myChef for Birthday Parties
Catering platters are generic and forgettable. Cooking for 15 or 20 people yourself means you spend the entire party in the kitchen instead of celebrating. And renting out a restaurant for a large group gets expensive fast, with limited control over the menu or atmosphere. A personal chef through myChef gives you the best of all three: custom food, your own space, and zero work.
Our chefs handle everything from menu design to grocery shopping, cooking, plating, serving, and cleanup. Whether it's a 30th birthday brunch for 10 friends or a 50th celebration dinner for 30 guests, the chef builds the menu around your preferences, dietary needs, and budget. You get restaurant-quality food with the comfort and personality of home.

What's Included
Custom Menu Design
Your chef creates a tailored menu for the group size, considering dietary restrictions, allergies, and the birthday person's favorite dishes.
Grocery Shopping & Ingredients
The chef sources and purchases all ingredients. Nothing for you to buy or prepare.
On-Site Cooking & Plating
All food is prepared fresh in your kitchen. For larger parties, chefs set up appetizer stations and serve courses family-style or plated.
Serving & Course Management
The chef manages the flow of the meal, from welcome drinks and appetizers through the main course to the birthday dessert.
Full Kitchen Cleanup
Once the event wraps up, the chef cleans all cooking areas, washes dishes, and restores your kitchen to its original state.
Custom Birthday Dessert
A signature dessert or birthday cake designed by the chef is included. If you want a specific bakery cake instead, the chef will coordinate the presentation.
Tableware & Serving Equipment
Plates, glasses, cutlery, and serving platters for large groups are not included but can be rented separately. The chef can advise on rental services.
Beverages & Bar Service
Drinks and bartending are not included in the standard package. You can provide your own drinks or hire a bartender through the app.
Real Stories
"Juliana was planning her husband's 40th birthday in their house in Curitiba for 25 friends and family. She tried catering companies but every menu felt generic — buffet trays of rice, beans, and lasagna. She booked a myChef chef who specialized in churrasco and wanted to do something more elevated. "
The chef set up a live grill station on the patio with picanha, lamb, and grilled pineapple. Guests said it was the best party food they'd ever had. Juliana didn't step into the kitchen once.
"Thiago turned 30 and wanted a Japanese-themed dinner party for 12 friends at his apartment in São Paulo. He had no idea how to pull it off in his small kitchen. His myChef chef brought portable equipment, prepared sushi live, and ran a ramen station. "
The chef transformed Thiago's living room into what his friends called a 'hidden omakase.' The matcha dessert was the highlight, and the kitchen was spotless by 11 PM.
"Renata organized a surprise 50th birthday for her mother in Florianópolis, with 20 guests. She needed a chef who could prepare traditional Southern Brazilian food but with a refined twist, including her mother's favorite dish — barreado. "
The chef nailed the barreado and added a modern appetizer spread that impressed even the older guests. Renata's mother cried when she walked in and saw the table. Renata said hiring a chef was the single best decision she made for the party.
