About Haute Chef TX

Haute Chef TX offers a custom-tailored personal chef experience for luxurious, intimate gatherings. Our company was founded with the goal of providing elevated dining in the privacy of your own home or vacation rental. When you hire Haute Chef TX, you don’t have to worry about anything - we bring everything we will need to provide a memorable meal for you: ingredients, wine pairings, cookware, dinnerware for each course, linens, even service staff…

Our philosophy when it comes to creating great food is “less is more,” with an emphasis on allowing high quality, locally-sourced ingredients to shine.

How does it work?

After an initial conversation about your event and your preferences, any dietary restrictions, allergies, and budget, we will design a custom menu created just for you, and then we will have a follow-up conversation to discuss any requested changes. Whether you’re looking for a 3-course meal, 6-course meal, or something more relaxed and family-style, we’ve got you covered.

We bring our expertise and creativity to clients seeking an exceptional dining experience. We will work closely with you to understand your preferences, dietary requirements, and vision for your meal, and then craft a unique and personalized menu that meets those needs.

We draw inspiration from different cuisines, ingredients, and flavor profiles to create meals that are both delicious and visually stunning. We understand that dining is not just about the food, but also about the overall experience, and we take great care to ensure that every aspect of the event is enjoyable and memorable for guests.

Haute Chef specializes in creating custom culinary experiences and curated menus and is dedicated to delivering a unique and exceptional dining experience that exceeds expectations and leaves a lasting impression.
