Private dining, rooted in Rhode Island.
LocalChef is a Rhode Island marketplace for private-chef experiences: a real local chef, cooking for your table, in your home.
Evenings LocalChef is being built for
An anniversary at home
A slow tasting menu for two, cooked in your kitchen.
A table of eight
A dinner party where the host is a guest at her own party.
A summer weekend
A shore-house dinner that keeps going after restaurants close.
How requesting a chef will work
STEP 1
Explore chefs and menus
Browse real Rhode Island chefs, their menus, pricing, and the areas they serve.
STEP 2
Send a request
Tell the chef your occasion, date, party size, and tastes. No payment yet.
STEP 3
Chef accepts, then you pay
You pay securely only after the chef accepts your request. Never before.
Every chef on LocalChef applies, is screened, and is reviewed by our team before their profile can be published. A real chef cannot be published without the required completed background screening and admin approval. Government-ID and live-selfie verification through our screening provider will also be required before a real chef is published once production screening opens.
Be first at the table.
