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.

Real Stories

Example requests and how a chef can shape the evening.

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.

Frequently asked questions

We recommend booking at least 3-5 days in advance for regular date nights. For peak dates like Valentine's Day or New Year's Eve, book 2-3 weeks ahead to secure your preferred chef.
The price depends on the package, minimum quantity and inclusions. Check the published packages on this page or the chef's profile for the minimum-order total and whether ingredients are included. Commute and add-ons can change the final amount, shown before payment.
Yes. Your chef handles all the shopping. You don't need to buy anything. If you have specific wine preferences, you can provide your own bottles or ask the chef to include them in the service.
No. Our chefs are experienced in working with standard home kitchens. As long as you have a stove, oven, and basic counter space, they can prepare a full tasting menu.
The chef typically arrives 1.5-2 hours before serving to set up and begin preparations. The dinner itself lasts about 2-2.5 hours, depending on the number of courses. Cleanup takes around 30 minutes after the last course.
