Tailored culinary services
Our services in Simon's Town
From planning to service
How your private chef experience works
Every booking is planned around your accommodation, your guests and the way you want to spend your time in Simon's Town. The process is personal from the first conversation through to the final kitchen check.
Shape the menu together
Your chef develops a menu around the occasion rather than asking you to choose from a fixed package. We can plan anything from relaxed sharing dishes to a composed multi-course dinner, with sourcing handled before the booking.
Enjoy a completely handled evening
On the day, we arrive prepared, cook in your accommodation and serve with a discreet, attentive approach. Once the meal is finished, the kitchen is left clean so your group can keep enjoying the evening.
Your stay, your menu
Private dining in Simon's Town, designed around your stay
Whether you are arranging one memorable dinner or chef service across several days, Tailor to Taste creates a menu around your preferences, dietary requirements, group size and plans. The experience can include menu planning, ingredient sourcing, preparation in your Simon's Town accommodation, attentive service and a carefully managed kitchen afterwards.
Made for the occasion
Ideal for holidays and special occasions
Our private chef service is suited to relaxed family meals, celebrations, birthdays, anniversaries, intimate dinners, group holidays and guests who simply want to enjoy Cape Town without planning every meal. Each booking is tailored rather than offered as a fixed restaurant-style package.
