Due to the overwhelming success of our Rent a Chef formula, we will continue to offer this service. Wish to have the luxury of ‘dining out’, but in the comfort of your own home? Bring the worldy Chef of the Embassy of Food into your home for an unforgettable culinary experience! Everything is arranged, and all we need from you is a kitchen.
When organizing the ‘Rent a Chef’ experience, you will be able to compose your own 4-, 5- or 6-course menu, and our Chef will prepare and serve these dishes in your home. A matching wine arrangement is always possible yet remains optional.
You are completely taken care of! Even the table is set for you in Embassy style. Give us a call to make a reservation, or read more below on how to bring our chef into your home.
At The Embassy we opt for clarity and transparency, so the prices stated below already include preparation time. Our Chef will make sure you and your guests are well taken care of, to create an unforgettable experience.
