Can you get a private chef in Santa Fe?

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

Santa Fe is one of the great food and art towns in the country, and visitors stay in adobe casitas and homes around the Plaza, Canyon Road and the foothills.

A private chef brings that food culture home: dinner cooked in your kitchen, served in your courtyard, and cleaned up afterwards.

Private chef in Santa Fe — common questions

Do you have private chefs in Santa Fe yet?

We are now taking requests in Santa Fe. 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 we have a chef-cooked dinner on Christmas Eve in Santa Fe?

Yes. Request well ahead, since holiday dates go first, and chefs will build a menu around the night.

Can a chef cook for a small wedding in Santa Fe?

Yes. Tell us the guest count and style of service and chefs quote the dinner.

How much does a private chef cost in Santa Fe?

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.
