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

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!
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.
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!
Niels
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.
Rianne
Merlin and Sebastiaan are two very warm and professional chefs with a great passion for food. Yesterday, they provided a fantastic vegan buffet during a networking event, and everything was perfect down to the last detail. We ate incredibly well and enjoyed it thoroughly! Merlin and Sebastiaan: thank you for your amazing care!
Steven
5 stars overall. Very kind and excellent chef, would highly recommand to anybody looking for a culinaire experience!
Maria
Een absoluut onvergetelijke ervaring, erg goed eten, mooie wijnen, fantastische service. Ik kan niet anders dan op alle punten een excellente score geven. Dit is zeker voor herhaling vatbaar en de "word of mouth" verspreid zich al via de 18 gasten. Zelf al meerdere aanbevelingen gedaan aan vrienden. Merlin en Sebastiaan geweldig gewoon!
Sietie
We hebben genoten van het heerlijke eten. Erg leuk om de beleving van dineren in een restaurant thuis ,of in ons geval het vakantie huisje te ervaren.
Anouk
Super goed gedaan! Hele kleine keuken waarin hij werkzaam kon zijn. Lekker gegeten. Bijpassende wijn ook, alleen net niet alle wijnen waren helemaal lekker. Maar super tevreden! Knap gekookt
Yara
Vooraf had ik geen idee wat we precies konden verwachten maar het overtrof eigenlijk al m'n vetwachtingen. Het eten was heerlijk, prachtig opgemaakt & ook het bijpassende wijnarrangement was lekker. Heel bijzonder om te ervaren hoe er in je eigen keuken zulke lekkere gerechten worden bereid. We kregen vooraf een playlist opgestuurd die ons alvast in de sfeer bracht en na afloop was de hele keuken weer opgeruimd alsof er niks gebeurd was. Een toprestaurant-ervaring in je eigen huis, echt een aanrader!
Vincent
Grappige en spontane chef - en ook heel lekker gegeten!
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 :)
Roos
Het was fantastisch! Hele bijzondere en fijne avond gehad allemaal dankzij Fay! Fay is echt dantastisch. Ze regelt een heel diner zonder dat je het eigenlijk merkt.
Jeroen
