What does a private chef at home in Montreal include?

Elie brings the ingredients, cooks on-site, serves at table, and handles basic cleanup. Everything is included in the price.

How is this different from hiring a caterer?

A caterer prepares food in advance and delivers it. Elie cooks in your kitchen on the night, fresh, and serves your guests throughout the meal. A fundamentally different experience.

How much does a private chef at home cost in Montreal?

Starting at $650 for 2 guests (Elie Experience) or $425 for 6 to 8 guests (Elie's Table), all-inclusive.

Do I need a large kitchen?

No. Elie adapts to your space. A standard home kitchen is sufficient.

Private Chef at Home in Montreal —Your Space, Elie's Kitchen

A private chef at home in Montreal means Elie comes to you — with the ingredients, the skills, and the menu. You provide the table.

Not delivery — an on-site experience

When you book a private chef at home in Montreal, you're not ordering food. Elie arrives at your home with fresh ingredients and cooks the entire meal in your kitchen, that evening. Every dish is prepared on-site, timed to your table, and served fresh.

The difference between a private chef and a caterer is fundamental. Catered food is prepared elsewhere, transported, and reheated. An on-site private chef experience means the kitchen is live — and so is the meal. That distinction shapes everything from the quality of the food to the energy in the room.

Chef's choice — designed for your evening

There is no menu to browse and no dishes to select. Elie curates the entire experience based on your occasion, the size of your group, your dietary needs, and the season. The result is a cohesive Asian fusion menu — refined, personal, and built specifically for your evening.

This is not a generic tasting menu replicated night after night. Every booking is approached as its own project. Learn more about the chef's choice approach.
