Imagine this: your table is set, your home is filled with delicious aromas, and a professional chef is preparing a personalized multi-course meal in your kitchen—all without you lifting a finger. This is the luxury and ease of a private chef experience at home.

At The Chef Upstairs, we specialize in creating exceptional in-home dining moments for families, couples, and corporate guests across Toronto and Vaughan. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to savour a restaurant-quality meal in your own space, here’s what you can expect when you hire a private chef.

Personalized Menus Just for You

The experience begins with a conversation. When you hire a private chef through The Chef Upstairs, we’ll work with you to design a custom menu that reflects your tastes, dietary needs, and the tone of your event—whether it’s romantic, refined, or fun and interactive.

Expect seasonal ingredients, globally inspired flavours, and beautiful plating—all crafted to suit your event’s mood and your guests’ preferences.

Grocery Shopping and Prep? We’ve Got It Covered

Forget the grocery list. Your chef will source the highest quality ingredients, arrive with everything they need, and do all the preparation. Our chefs are experienced, creative, and well-versed in a variety of cuisines—from classic French to modern plant-based dishes.

This isn’t just in-home catering—it’s luxury dining at home, minus the stress.

Interactive or Intimate—You Decide

Want to ask questions, learn tips, and watch the magic happen? Many of our guests love the interactive aspect of an in-home chef experience. Your chef can guide you through the dishes, explain techniques, and even share stories from the kitchen.

Prefer something more private and relaxed? That’s totally fine, too. We tailor the level of interaction to your comfort.

Setup, Service, and Cleanup

Hosting should be a joy—not a chore. Your chef will not only cook and serve but will also leave your kitchen spotless. That means no dirty pots, no cluttered counters, and no dishes to wash. You get to focus on your guests (or just relax) while we handle everything behind the scenes.

Great for Any Occasion

From milestone birthdays to engagement dinners, holiday parties, client entertaining, or simply a long-overdue night in, a private chef in Toronto offers a unique way to mark the moment. We also offer in-home catering for family gatherings, multi-day retreats, and themed dinner parties.
