The City Beautiful was built for gracious entertaining, from the Mediterranean courtyards off Miracle Mile to the old-Florida elegance of the Biltmore. Chefpost pairs you with a vetted Coral Gables private chef who designs the menu, sources the ingredients, cooks in your kitchen, plates each course, and leaves everything immaculate. Formal dinner parties, anniversaries, and unhurried holiday hosting, all handled for you.
A private chef in Coral Gables comes to your home, prepares a refined multi-course meal in your own kitchen, and cleans everything before leaving. Chefpost connects you with background-checked local chefs for plated dinner parties, anniversaries, and standing weekly meal prep. Most in-home dinners run $65 to $150 per guest, and the chef owns the whole evening, from menu design and shopping to service and cleanup.
The Gables leans classic, so our chefs are as comfortable with a formal French tasting or a coastal Mediterranean spread as they are with polished Italian and Spanish tables. Every menu is written around your guests, your dining room, and the occasion. You can browse chefs and read real reviews before you decide, or start from our full Miami private chef roster.
Two things worth clearing up: a private chef is not a caterer, and hosting one is far less stiff than the address might suggest.
A caterer drops off trays cooked in a commissary hours earlier. A private chef cooks the meal in your kitchen and plates each course the moment it is ready, so a delicate branzino or a rare filet reaches the table at its peak rather than reheated. In a formal Gables dining room, that immediacy is precisely what turns dinner into an evening.

The formats our Coral Gables chefs are asked for most. Each menu is tailored to your guests, your kitchen, and the tone of the evening.
A composed, multi-course dinner for six to fourteen in your dining room. The Gables classic, favored for anniversaries, milestone celebrations, and elegant weeknight entertaining.
A restaurant-grade tasting of five to seven courses, plated and paced at your table. A quiet alternative to a coveted reservation, without giving up your table at nine.
An intimate, candlelit tasting cooked and served at home. No valet, no reservation to chase, and no rush to surrender the table before dessert.
A rustic-refined Italian, Spanish, or coastal Mediterranean dinner, served family style or plated. Popular for relaxed gatherings in the courtyard.
Thanksgiving, the December run, and New Year's, handled by a chef so you stay a guest at your own table. The kitchen is left the way it was found.
A chef cooks several days of meals in your kitchen and leaves them portioned and labeled in your fridge. Ideal for established Gables households with full calendars. Around $200 to $350 per week.
An honest take from the Chefpost team on why this format fits the neighborhood.
“Coral Gables has always taken hosting seriously. These are homes with real dining rooms, courtyards built for long dinners, and families who invite people over the way other places make a reservation. The old choice was to book a restaurant and lose the room, or cook all day and greet your guests exhausted. A private chef gives you the polish of a fine-dining evening while you stay at the head of your own table.”
