How Much Does a Private Chef Cost in Austin?

If you're planning a special dinner in Austin, whether it's for a birthday, bachelorette, or just a fun night with friends, you’ve probably wondered:

How much does it cost to hire a private chef?

Here’s what to expect, what’s included, and why it often ends up being more food, more fun, and less stress than dining out.

So, what’s the actual cost?

At Hosting Austin, most of our private dinners range from $90 to $245 per person, depending on the number of guests and how many courses you choose.

That includes:

• A custom seasonal menu

• Ingredient sourcing and prep

• On-site cooking by Chef Arturo

How it compares to dining out

Dinner at a nice restaurant in Austin with a group can easily cost the same or more once you add up:

• Appetizers

• Entrées

• Drinks

• Dessert

• Tax and tip

• Parking or Uber rides

And you still have to wait for a table, deal with noise, and sometimes feel rushed to leave.

With a private chef dinner, you get:

• A personalized experience in your home or Airbnb

• Food made just for your group, including any dietary needs

• A relaxed vibe with no time limit

• The entire night taken care of

When is it worth it?

We cook for:

• Bachelorette groups who want dinner and a fun night in

• Families visiting Austin who don’t want to cook

• Birthday dinners that feel a little extra

• Corporate groups and retreats

• Couples wanting something special

It’s not just a meal. It’s an experience your guests will remember.
