How Much Does a Private Chef Near You in Ponta Delgada Cost?
ChefMaison allows you to discuss directly with chefs around Ponta Delgada 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

To make their event even more memorable, many of our clients choose extra options such as:

- Children menus or special dietary requests
- Servers for larger groups (usually for 10+ guests)

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 chefs and caterers around Ponta Delgada
Angela
Vera was great, I highly recommend Vera if you’re celebrating a special event. Communication was clear and prompt. Provided just what we needed which was lots of sharing platters for 16 people and the food was delicious. Vera arrived and just got on with it whilst we all had drinks and played games for the hen party. Great service !

Vous pouvez faire appel au Chef Johann Schopff les yeux fermés! Une très belle expérience pour un anniversaire de mariage (7 personnes). Les plats sont très biens présentés, bien travaillés et les produits de qualité. Nous nous sommes régalés. Un très bon rapport qualité prix. Bref : au top, à renouveler!
Gisela
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!
Chloe
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.
Jaqueline
We had an incredible week with your mastery. Thank you again a lot.

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.
Karin
We had the best night with Terenzio. He is very kind and made sure we had nothing to worry about during dinner. During the preparations it was nice that Terenzio offered different options for the menu, so that all dietary requirements were taken into account. The food itself was great, very high quality and more than enough for everyone. Afterwards he left the kitchen cleaner than how it was before he started. I would definitely recommend Terenzio.
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.
Christel
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.
Armando
Every week you are surprising me with new delicious dishes, and always even better than the week before. Thank you so much!
Stefan
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.
Mathilde
Direct contact met de chef via het platform. Kan het menu naar je eigen wensen invullen. Gelijk duidelijkheid over de kosten. Maar het belangrijkste, een ongelooflijk mooie en goeie ervaring! Nu 2 keer gedaan, beide voelde het alsof je echt uit eten bent en de kwaliteit is zeer hoog! Daarbij werkt het platform ook erg fijn! Kan Chef Maison alleen maar aanraden komt voor mij als geroepen in deze tijd :)
