How Much Does a Private Chef Near You in Ghent Cost?
ChefMaison allows you to discuss directly with chefs around Ghent and receive personalized quotes based on your unique preferences and budget, so every event is customized to your exact needs. Since every ChefMaison event is unique - there's no fixed pricing. However, we offer indication prices ranging from €59 to €194 per person for weekend bookings for 4 courses, depending on the menu and services selected.
What’s included in our indication prices:
- Groceries and menu ingredients - you don't need to do any shopping or preparation
- Chef preparation time and service during your event (cooking, plating, serving, and cleanup)
To make their event even more memorable, many of our clients choose extra options such as:
- Extra courses, such as cheese platters, luxury amuses, wine pairings, and cocktails
- Premium ingredients like wagyu, oysters, caviar, or Kobe beef
- Children menus or special dietary requests
- Servers for larger groups (usually for 10+ guests)
- Equipment rentals (tables, heaters, fancy tableware, fireworks 🎇 etc.)
Tips for reducing the costs on your private chef experience
- Booking during the week is an excellent way to save money, as many chefs offer weekday discounts for events.
- The price per person decreases as the number of guests increases, making it more affordable for larger groups.
- Book early: Booking your private chef well in advance gives you more time to discuss your preferences and budget, allowing you to secure the best chef at the best price. This also avoids premium prices during high-demand seasons and holidays or weekends.
You have the flexibility to work directly with your chef to create a completely personalized experience, whether you're planning a casual dinner with friends or a lavish celebration. Whatever your vision, ChefMaison ensures your event will be exactly as you imagine it because you have direct contact with your personal chef.

We had a wonderfull time and a great dinner. Chef Réginald lived up to our expectations. Arranging everything by app felt a bit strange at first, but we'll definitely use it again.

Notre repas avec Jelte a été parfait! De la décoration de la table aux mets délicats et délicieux, en passant par un service impeccable, une grande flexibilité dans l'adaptation des menus en fonction de certains goûts/besoins et une playlist adaptée, le tout réalisé avec grande gentillesse, bienveillance et bonne humeur. Vraiment grand merci à vous! Trois générations ont été comblées par cette magnifique soirée!

Afgelopen weekend genoten wij met een groep van 16 personen van een heerlijk 4-gangen diner, en wat was het een geweldige ervaring! Elk gerecht was tot in de puntjes verzorgd en ontzettend smaakvol. Van de eerste amuse tot het dessert, alles was perfect op elkaar afgestemd en prachtig gepresenteerd. De chef heeft duidelijk enorm zijn best gedaan – dat proefden we niet alleen, maar merkten we ook aan de manier waarop hij steeds met passie uitleg gaf over de gerechten. Dit gaf een extra dimensie aan de avond en maakte het diner nog specialer. Iedereen aan tafel heeft volop genoten en we kijken nu al uit naar een volgende keer. Echt een aanrader voor wie op zoek is naar een culinaire beleving in een gezellige en verzorgde setting.
Yvette
Weer een geweldige avond gehad verzorgd door Konrad. Tijdens ons jaarlijkse vriendenweekend hebben wij Konrad voor de 2e keer uitgenodigd om een diner te bereiden voor ons gezelschap. We hebben heerlijk gegeten en de keuken is spik en span achter gelaten. Top!
Jasper
We hebben een fantastische avond gehad. Sem heeft een heerlijk menu samengesteld en op de avond zelf ons een mooie avond bezorgd. Dank!
