Can you get a private chef in San Diego?

Yes. TheKitchenTable now takes private chef requests in San Diego: share your dates, group size and budget, and we match you with a professional chef who cooks, serves and cleans up at your rental.

San Diego is one of the largest vacation-rental markets in the country, with beach cottages in Mission and Pacific Beach and homes in La Jolla and Coronado.

A private chef brings dinner to the rental: cooked, served and cleaned up while you watch the sunset.

Why do people book a private chef in San Diego?

Private chef in San Diego — common questions

Do you have private chefs in San Diego yet?

We are now taking requests in San Diego. Send yours with your dates, group size and budget, and we match you personally with a professional private chef who can cook at your rental. You only pay once you have picked a menu you like, so there is no risk in asking.

Can a chef cook in a small beach cottage?

Yes. Describe the kitchen in your notes and chefs plan a menu that fits it.

Do chefs cover Coronado and Del Mar?

Send your address and the chef confirms they can reach it before they quote.

How much does a private chef cost in San Diego?

You set the budget on the request form, per person or for the whole group, and chefs send menus built to fit it. Price depends on group size, the number of courses and the style of service, and family-style dinners cost less per head than plated ones. Taxes and fees are shown before you pay.

Does the chef clean up afterwards?

Yes. Shopping, prep, cooking, serving and full kitchen cleanup are all included, so the kitchen is left as the chef found it. That matters in a rental where you are on the hook for a cleaning deposit.
