A private chef in Brickell, cooking on your condo counter

Brickell moves fast, and dinner should not slow you down. Chefpost pairs you with a vetted Brickell private chef who designs the menu, carries up the groceries, and turns a compact high-rise galley into a working kitchen. Whether it is a client dinner on the 40th floor, a date night above Biscayne Bay, or a stocked fridge for a punishing work week, you never touch a pan.

A private chef in Brickell comes up to your condo, cooks a restaurant-quality meal in your own kitchen, and cleans every dish before the elevator ride home. Chefpost matches you with background-checked local chefs for one-off dinners, celebrations, and recurring meal prep. Most in-home dinners run $65 to $150 per guest, and the chef handles the menu, the shopping, the cooking, and the cleanup.

Brickell is Miami's financial core, so our chefs are used to tight galley kitchens, doorman check-ins, and guests who care as much about the wine as the food. Expect sushi and omakase, modern American, steakhouse, and Latin menus, often from bilingual chefs. You can browse chefs and read real reviews before you book.

What a Brickell private chef actually does

Two things worth clearing up: a private chef is not a caterer, and hiring one for a condo dinner is easier and less formal than it sounds.

A private chef vs. catering

Catering shows up in foil trays that were cooked across town and reheated in your oven. A private chef cooks live on your Brickell counter and plates every course to order. In a small condo where the kitchen opens onto the living room, that becomes the entertainment: your guests watch the sear, smell the sauce, and eat each plate at its peak. For an intimate high-rise dinner, that is the whole point.

Why Brickell is made for the private chef

An honest take from the Chefpost team on why this format fits the neighborhood.

Brickell is vertical Miami. The dinners happen forty floors up, on balconies over the bay, in kitchens the size of a coat closet. People here want to entertain but they are time-poor and their galley kitchens were never built for a dinner party of ten. A private chef fixes both problems at once. You get the restaurant meal and the skyline view, and someone else deals with the eight square feet of counter and the pile of dishes after.

Private chef Brickell: frequently asked questions

The questions Brickell hosts ask us most before they book.

How much does a private chef cost in Brickell?
Most in-home private chef dinners in Brickell run $65 to $150 per guest, depending on the menu, the number of courses, and the ingredients. A condo dinner party for around ten typically lands between $900 to $1,600. Weekly meal prep is usually $200 to $350 per week. Your quote always includes the chef's time, the grocery shopping, cooking, service, and cleanup. Browse chefs to see menus and pricing.
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.
