ABOUT

A Chef Company, Not a Marketplace

myCHEF Cape Town is the third kitchen of the myCHEF family — a group operating since 2015, with sister operations in Bali and Dubai.

myCHEF editorialReviewed by the Cape Town teamLast updated October 2026

Cape Town has the villa stock, the produce and the appetite for private dining — but the market hides its prices. Most private chef and boutique catering sites here publish nothing. We built this kitchen on the opposite bet: publish everything, guarantee everything, and let the rate card do the selling.

Why Cape Town, and why now

Cape Town has the villa stock, the produce and the appetite for private dining — but the market hides its prices. Most private chef and boutique catering sites here publish nothing. We built this kitchen on the opposite bet: publish everything, guarantee everything, and let the rate card do the selling.

The Cape Town kitchen is run as a company, not a directory. A small employed core team cooks the delivery-critical lines — tasting menus, braais, villa stays — supported by a vetted partner-chef bench for scale. Every chef on an event, core or bench, passes the same vetting standard before they carry the name.

The person leading the Cape Town kitchen will be named and photographed here as the team is confirmed — we would rather leave a line blank than fill it with a stock photo and a borrowed biography.

Part of the myCHEF family

myCHEF Cape Town is the third market of the myCHEF family. Bali (mychef.id) was founded in 2019; Dubai (mychef.ae) is the customer-facing brand of Numini FZC, part of Global Catering, which has been operating since 2015. The Cape Town kitchen adopts the same published-price playbook and the same honesty rules.

Each market is its own operation with its own contact details and team. South African entity details for myCHEF Cape Town publish here once confirmed.

What we don't claim

Four things you will never find on this site — the honesty register we hold ourselves to.

  1. 01No fake reviews — reviews publish as events are delivered, and not before
  2. 02No stock-photo chefs — placeholder photography is labelled until real team photos ship
  3. 03No certification we don't hold — halaal-friendly with strict protocols, never 'certified'
  4. 04No hidden prices — every rate card, fee and multiplier is published
