Experience Basel’s Culinary Excellence with a Private Chef

In Basel, where historic charm meets modern vibrancy, hiring a private chef transforms any meal into a unique culinary adventure. Imagine enjoying a gourmet feast while overlooking the Rhine River, or savoring the flavors of the Basel Minster’s rich history right from the comfort of your home, Airbnb, or hotel suite. Whether you're hosting a business event or celebrating with friends and family, a private chef in Basel delivers a personalized dining experience that elevates every occasion.

Why Choose a Private Chef in Basel?

Basel’s culinary scene is as dynamic as the city itself, known for its diverse influences from the neighboring regions of France and Germany, combined with Swiss tradition. A private chef allows you to explore this rich tapestry of flavors without leaving your location. Imagine indulging in local specialties like Basler Läckerli, a renowned gingerbread treat, or enjoying a Swiss fondue while relaxing at home. Your chef can also introduce international cuisines, creating a bespoke menu that caters to your preferences. From classic Swiss dishes to innovative fusion cuisine, your private chef will craft meals that celebrate both local and global flavors.

  • Explore Local Delicacies and Global Flavors: A private chef in Basel provides an exclusive opportunity to taste local specialties like Basler Läckerli and fresh fish from the Rhine, or explore global dishes crafted with fresh, local ingredients.
  • Exceptional Convenience and Comfort: Enjoy gourmet dining without the stress of cooking or dining out. Your private chef manages everything from sourcing high-quality ingredients to cooking and cleaning, so you can focus on enjoying your time.
  • Long-Term Engagements: For extended stays or recurring events, a personal chef offers consistent quality and convenience. Whether you need daily meals, meal prepping, or special event catering, your chef will provide a seamless and luxurious dining experience throughout your time in Basel.
  • Customizable for Any Budget: From lavish spreads to elegantly simple meals, a private chef can cater to any budget. Picture a grand, multi-course banquet featuring exquisite local wines and seasonal produce, or a chic, minimalist meal that emphasizes elegance through simplicity. Your chef will adapt to your vision, ensuring a dining experience that meets your expectations, whether extravagant or understated.

With a private chef, you enjoy personalized attention and have complete control over your menu and ingredients, ensuring each dish meets your specific preferences.

How Much Does a Private Chef Near You in Basel Cost?

ChefMaison allows you to discuss directly with chefs around Basel 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 CHF59 to CHF194 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

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.
