Choose a coherent menu
A three-course dinner can begin with a seasonal vegetable or seafood starter, continue with a main dish and well-chosen sides, and finish with a dessert that complements the meal. A sharing menu might bring mezze, grills, salads and bread to the table together.
Italian, Arabic, Indian and Mediterranean menus each offer a strong starting point. If you combine cuisines, choose dishes with compatible flavours and serving temperatures.
Browse our menu collection and select a few dishes you would enjoy serving together.
Match the food to the service
Plated courses suit guests who will sit together for a defined meal. Sharing dishes create a more informal table, while passed canapés work for arrivals or a standing gathering. The choice affects portions, staff and the space needed in the kitchen.
Plan for your actual guest list
Ask about allergies, dietary requirements and children’s portions before finalising the menu. Give alternatives the same care as the main selection, and confirm how special plates will be identified and served.
Choose the appropriate price option
myCHEF’s defined Date Night package is from AED 2,400 for two, while bespoke chef-led plated dining is AED 700–950 per person. Larger sharing, buffet and canapé formats use different pricing. Compare the menu and service scope, with 5% VAT confirmed in the proposal.
Confirm the complete proposal
Compare the complete service, including the menu, guest count, preparation, staffing, equipment, delivery and clear-down. A per-person price is useful only when the inclusions are clear. Ask which elements are fixed and which can change if your plans change.
Share allergies and other dietary requirements before confirming. The culinary partner should explain the preparation arrangements and any remaining cross-contact risk. Review the payment schedule, cancellation terms and change deadlines in your written booking.
Prepare a useful enquiry
Send the date, Dubai address, expected guest count and preferred service time, together with your menu ideas and venue details. Photos of the kitchen or service area can help the team assess what is practical.
myCHEF typically replies within 15 minutes between 9am and 9pm Dubai time. The tailored proposal follows once the requirements and availability have been reviewed. A first reply is an acknowledgement, rather than confirmation that a chef or date has been secured.
