Who books a private chef in Brickell?
Mostly people who live and work in the towers. Finance and tech professionals book weekly meal prep to stay ahead of a brutal schedule, couples do date nights without leaving the building, and teams host client and partner dinners in the condo instead of a loud restaurant. Birthdays, building-warming parties, and small celebrations round out the calendar.
Can a chef really cook in a small Brickell condo kitchen?
Yes, and they do it constantly. Our Brickell chefs are used to compact galley kitchens, single ovens, and limited counter space. They plan the menu around what your kitchen can handle and often prep some components in advance so the live cooking stays smooth. If your kitchen is unusually tight, mention it when you book and we will match you with a chef who works well in small spaces.
What does the price include?
Everything but the space itself: menu planning, the full grocery run, cooking on your counter, plating and serving each course, and a spotless kitchen handed back at the end. All you supply is the condo, the plates, and the glassware. No hidden fees, and gratuity is entirely up to you.
Do you handle doorman buildings and condo access?
Yes. High-rise access is routine for our Brickell chefs. Once you book, share your building name, unit, and any front-desk or garage instructions, and your chef will coordinate arrival, elevator access, and parking or loading for the groceries and equipment.
Can the chef cook sushi, steakhouse, or Latin menus?
Yes. Brickell is one of our strongest neighborhoods for sushi and omakase, and our chefs also cover modern American, steakhouse, and Latin cuisine from Peruvian to Argentine and Cuban, plus plant-based options. You can filter chefs by cuisine, and many of our Brickell chefs are bilingual.
Do you offer weekly meal prep, not just events?
Yes. A
meal-prep chef comes to your condo on a set day each week, cooks several days of meals, and leaves them portioned and labeled in your fridge. It is one of the most requested services in Brickell and usually runs $200 to $350 per week.
