How Much Does a Private Chef Near You in Ottawa Cost?
ChefMaison allows you to discuss directly with chefs around Ottawa 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.
Reviews of our private chefs around Ottawa

Peter heeft op 13 januari j.l. voor ons (21- personen) een 5-gangendiner tot in de puntjes verzorgd. De gangen waren stuk voor stuk heerlijk en mooi gepresenteerd. Hij stemde alle gerechten af op eventuele speciale behoeften van de eters, zoals vegetarisch, geen kaas etcetera. Peter is helder en tijdig in zijn communicatie. Ik zou hem zeker aanraden voor een mooi diner aan huis. Groet Floortje

Wilco, is een geweldige kok die in elke huiskamer past. Hij heeft voor ons voortreffelijk Italiaans gekookt en wist heel veel van de wijnen maar ook van de producten af wat hij op tafel voor ons uit serveerde. Het was voor ons een avondje uit in onze eigen huis. Complimenten!
Shamira
Chef Wilco heeft een geweldige avond verzorgt. Het was een unieke ervaring, welke we snel zullen herhalen! Was echt geweldig! En elke wijn paste perfect bij alle gerechten. Super bedankt Wilco!
Sara
Terenzio came to cook for us and it was an unforgettable evening. We can definitely recommend Terenzio. If you're looking for pure and delicious Italian dishes he's the person to go to. We will definitely book him again.

Voor de verjaardag van mijn vriend heeft Terenzio Ignoni een overheerlijk diner voor ons gemaakt. De communicatie was top, alles was bespreekbaar en mogelijk. Zelfs op de dag van het diner kon er nog wat toegevoegd worden. Zijn zelfgemaakte ravioli met truffel was om je vingers bij af te likken, om over het grand dessert nog maar te zwijgen 😋 bedankt voor deze onvergetelijke avond.

Via een winactie van Marne mosterd had ik een Private chef gewonnen!! Sherwin is een hele fijne chef! Heel rustig en relaxed. We hebben heerlijk gegeten! Het was echt Kunst zoals de gerechten eruit zagen. Super ervaring!

Geweldig genoten hebben wij van het fantastische diner verzorgd door Vincent. Gabriel deed de service aan tafel. We zijn echt in de watten gelegd. Een ooie herinnering is gemaakt. Contact vooraf was heel prettig zo ook tijdens het diner.

Afgelopen week hebben wij als familie een chef aan huis laten komen. Er was wel reden voor een feestje en met 2 jonge kinderen leek dit voor ons de ideale manier om samen een avond uitgebreid te dineren. Deze manier van een chef aan huis ontvangen was zeker een topkeuze! Vincent stond in de keuken en heeft ons de meest heerlijke gerechten geserveerd. Gabriel wist daar de juiste wijnen bij te serveren en zorgde ervoor dat de rest ook op en top geregeld was. Mochten we dit nog eens doen, dan vragen we deze twee heren zeker weer! Het was een gezellige avond met heerlijk eten en drinken. En niet onbelangrijk: de keuken is brandschoon achter gelaten.
Jaqueline
We had an incredible week with your mastery. Thank you again a lot.
Kingsley
Thanks for the dinner of yesterday, it was amazing! I can’t wait to eat again this tuna tataki, we really loved it. Let’s stay in touch for next summer in Ibiza.
Micheal

Nous avons passé un excellent moment grâce au chef Dehaye. Tout s’est très bien déroulé, des premiers échanges via l’application, en passant par le repas en lui même et la cuisine nickel après le passage du chef. Gérard est très agréable, discute volontiers avec les invités, donne des explications sur les plats servis, tout en sachant se faire discret. Il ne fait nul doute que Gérard est passionné par son métier et a à cœur de faire plaisir avec sa cuisine généreuse et gourmande. Nous ferons appel à lui sans hésiter a l’avenir.

Het regelen van een chef via chefmaison was erg gemakkelijk. De site was overzichtelijk opgezet en er worden duidelijke voorwaarden gegeven waar de chef aan zal voldoen. De avond zelf met Chef Wilco van den Baar was geweldig. Bijzondere gerechten en sterke wine pairing. Enorme aanrader. Erg tevreden!! Ga zo door.
Bhakti
We had the pleasure of getting Chef Terenzio for our anniversary when the full Amsterdam was in lockdown. And what an experience it was! Our Italian chef was on time, extremely respectful of our space and left it cleaner than before. The food was Mama Mia!! It is by far one of the best ravioli I have had. The starter, main course and desert were worth more than the price charged and we even had leftovers for next day. Overall a 5 star experience in the comfort of our home.
