FAQ - Private chef experience in Rhodes

A private chef experience in Rhodes with Enjoy Private Chef means that a professional chef comes to your villa or holiday accommodation, prepares a fresh meal on-site, serves it to you and your guests, washes the dishes and cleans the kitchen afterwards. It allows you to enjoy restaurant-quality food in the comfort and privacy of your own villa in Rhodes, Greece.

How does a private chef experience work?

The process with a private chef in Rhodes is simple:

The chef sends you different menu options that you can choose from. Also it is possible to create your own personalised menu, taking in account your personal taste, dietary restrictions and food allergies.
Once you are happy with the menu and want to book, you can secure the date with a deposit. The rest can be paid in person with cash or via bank transfer.
