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.

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.

Beverly
Chef Sherwin was an absolute start! On Valentines Day, he prepared the most delicious, exciting and interesting menu for a group of my guests. The experience was so wonderful with every person genuinely enjoying every course. We appreciated him cooking for us an plan to reach out again for another dining experience. 10 stars all round, Sherwin is awesome!
Jeroen
It was a great evening with delicious food and nice company from Léa. The contact was also very clear and friendly and extensive, so that the end-menu was exactly wat we wanted, with the helpful input from the professional, Léa! Thanks very much!
Florian
We enjoyed a lovely Birthday dinner at the coziness of our home with Chef Heri: fine Asian Fusion Cuisine aligned with nicely matching wines. Everything was organized in advance, and the food was delicious. The best part is that the kitchen was perfectly clean afterwards.

Ik was via Chef Maison op Merlin en Sebastiaan gestuit terwijl ik op zoek was naar een thuis chef om mijn verjaardag te vieren. Wat begon als een diner voor 10 personen eindigde in een groep van 20. Ten alle tijden was de communicatie super, was men flexibel en dacht goed mee. We hebben enorm genoten van de ambiance, de service en natuurlijk het overheerlijke eten! Alle bordjes gingen leeg terug naar de keuken dus dat is het beste compliment ;). Dank jullie wel voor de top verzorgde avond!

Chef Fay was absolutely out of this world and any expectations we had were exceeded! We experienced her passion and professionalism from the minute we started interacting, and all communication was always done in a friendly and timely manner. Chef Fay created an amazing menu for us with seasonal produce and managed to take us on a flavor journey unlike any other. She arrived well prepared with everything she needed and you could clearly tell that hours of preparation have already gone into the various elements. On top of being so well prepared, chef Fay is also extremely flexible and able to create the most amazing things in a heartbeat! An hour before our guests were due to arrived I enquired as to whether an additional course (amuse) would be possible, and even though this is never an ideal request, Fay did not hesitate to quickly get some fresh items from the AH and make this happen in the most amazing way imaginable. Chef Fay was absolutely lovely to have around; friendly, warm, spontaneous, courteous and so incredibly professional and polite. It was so lovely to enjoy the evening with our friends while glancing into the kitchen now and again to admire chef Fay at work, and then listen to her explain more about her creations with so much love and passion. She brought beautiful cutlery and crockery for every course and all courses were served with seamless elegance! Every course was absolutely gorgeous to look at but tasted even better than it looked. Chef Fay’s food is honest, sophisticated but not pretentious, modern and flavorful yet honoring some traditional elements, and full of imagination and surprise. Our guests could not stop talking about the food, and the manner in which chef Fay prepared and served it; and we share their sentiments! One of our guests kept saying “she’s a true natural professional” - and I think that says it all! We are more than thankful and appreciative for every single effort that went into making this evening unforgettable! It was perfection!

It was a fantastic evening with Alessando and Priscilla. Can't recommend enough. The table set was beautiful, the attention amazing with Priscilla even playing with our 3-year old daughter and Alessandro cooked an amazing 4-course meal. We loved every bit of it!

Chef Heri heeft samen met zijn assistent Theo bij ons thuis gezorgd voor een zeer smakelijk 4 gangen menu inclusief 2 amuses, waarbij in het bijzonder de heerlijke Okonomiyaki er bovenuit sprong. Onderdeel van ons gezelschap van 20 personen waren zowel gasten met glutenallergie als gasten met vegan dieetvoorkeuren. Chef Heri onderscheidde zich al tijdens het offerteproces met een menuvoorstel dat perfect aansloot op de dieetvoorkeuren waarbij de verschillen tussen 'wie wat kon eten' tot een minimum beperkt bleven. Chef Heri en Theo konden de groepsgrootte prima aan, communiceerden helder en waren netjes op tijd, waardoor ik ze zeker aan kan raden!
Dylan
Het was echt een hele goede avond! Heri is een ontzettend vriendelijk persoon en een hele goede chef. Alle gangen waren kleine kunstwerkjes op je bord, en smaakte verrukkelijk. Absolute aanrader.
Diana
afgelopen zaterdag hebben wij een fantastisch etentje gehad. Heerlijk gegeten en Barbara had heerlijke passende wijnen bij de gerechten uitgekozen.
Raymond
Wij hebben en geweldige avond gehad met Kok Micha en assistent Femke. Heerlijke gerechten, mooi opgemaakt, fantastisch bereid en fantasie volle gerechten. Iedere keer en mooi verhaal erbij en prettig uit geserveerd. Een top avond en na vertrek was de keuken weer spek en span. kijken alweer uit naar de volgende feestdagen.
Barbara
De communicatie ging vlot. Ze dachten fijn mee en hadden een passende oplossing toen het aantal gasten ineens anders bleek te zijn. Heel blij mee! het eten was heerlijk, alle 20 borden waren bij elke gang helemaal leeg.
Malou
Echt een leuke avond gehad. Zelfs in een beperkt vakantiehuisje, weet hij een Michelin waardig menu op tafel te zetten.
Jaap
Marjolein heeft een heerlijke lunch geserveerd van 3 gangen. Tonijn tataki, een bisque en tonfilets. Alles met een licht Aziatische toucht. Voor 4 personen in mijn eigen kantoor. Heerlijke smaken, uitstekend bereid en een zeer plezierige sfeer. Ik kan Marjolein van harte aanbevelen!
Carolien
We hebben een geweldige ervaring gehad met Ariënne, ze had zelf voor al het eten gezorgd en zelfs een extra helpende hand. Het voelde echt alsof we in een restaurant waren waar ze voor ons kookten. maar nu was het veel ontspannende en rustiger omdat er geen gehaast was. Het eten was heerlijk en ze hield goed rekening met de wensen van ons wat top was, ook voor een kleine aanpassing was het niet erg. Wij hebben erg genoten en we hopen dat ze haar dromen waar kan maken!! Liefs de 6-vriendinnen van vriendinnenweekend :)
Ben
Jan nam ruim de tijd ons nieuwe technieken te leren en uitleg te geven over samenstelling van het menu. We hebben zelfs geleerd pasta te maken wat niet eens onderdeel was van het uiteindelijke menu, maar omdat we dit beide wilden leren. We hebben een heel leuke avond gehad en gaan dit zeker nog eens doen. Topervaring!
Nele
Super ervaring, goede communicatie en lekker eten!
