A Private Chef for Your Most Romantic Evening at Home

Skip the crowded restaurant. A professional chef comes to your home, prepares a multi-course tasting menu, and handles every detail — so you can focus entirely on each other.

Why Couples Choose myChef for Romantic Dinners

Restaurants can feel rushed and impersonal, especially on peak nights like Valentine's Day or anniversaries. Cooking at home yourself means spending hours in the kitchen instead of with your partner. A myChef personal chef solves both problems: you get restaurant-quality food in the intimacy of your own space, with zero effort on your part.

Our chefs specialize in crafting personalized tasting menus — from selecting seasonal ingredients at local markets to plating each course with care. They arrive, set up, cook, serve, and clean up. All you do is enjoy the evening. Whether it's a proposal, anniversary, or a spontaneous date night, the experience is tailored entirely to you.

How It Works

1

Tell Us About the Occasion

Download the myChef app, describe your evening — anniversary, proposal, date night — and share any dietary preferences, allergies, or favorite cuisines.

2

Get Matched with a Chef

Browse chef profiles with menus, reviews, and pricing. Choose the chef whose style fits your taste, whether that's contemporary Brazilian, French, Japanese, or Italian.

3

Your Chef Prepares Everything

On the day, your chef arrives with fresh ingredients, prepares a 4-5 course tasting menu in your kitchen, plates each dish, and can suggest wine pairings for every course.

4

Enjoy the Evening — We Handle the Rest

Sit back while each course is served at your pace. After dessert, the chef cleans the kitchen and leaves it spotless. No dishes, no stress.

Real Stories

"Lucas wanted to propose to his girlfriend on their anniversary but dreaded the idea of doing it in a noisy restaurant in São Paulo. He booked a myChef chef who prepared a five-course Italian menu in his apartment, with the ring hidden under the dessert cloche. "

She said yes before the panna cotta was even finished. Lucas said the intimacy of being at home made the moment feel genuinely theirs.

"Camila and Rafael had their first baby six months ago and hadn't had a proper date night since. They booked a chef for a Saturday evening after the baby was asleep — a French tasting menu with wine pairing, all in their dining room in Belo Horizonte. "

Camila said it felt like a mini vacation without leaving home. The chef was quiet, professional, and the food rivaled their favorite French bistro.

"Fernanda surprised her husband on Valentine's Day. Every restaurant was fully booked weeks in advance, so she hired a myChef chef to prepare a contemporary Brazilian dinner at home in Rio de Janeiro. "

Her husband was completely caught off guard. He said it was the best Valentine's Day they'd ever had — no traffic, no waiting, just an incredible meal together.
