Why myCHEF

A managed company — not a freelance hub

Freelance chef platforms connect you to an independent cook, then step away. myCHEF is different: we own the whole experience — chef, sous chef, service staff, ingredients, equipment, and quality control — so the result is consistent whether it's your first booking or your twentieth.

  • Every chef is background-checked, HACCP certified, and trained in-house
  • Fixed, transparent pricing — no hidden grocery markups
  • One WhatsApp number for everything: menu, booking, and day-of coordination
  • Full accountability — if anything is wrong, we fix it
  • Insurance-covered for villa events and large catering

Local knowledge

Why myCHEF in Lodtunduh

Our chefs know Lodtunduh — its villa layouts, the villas that have great kitchens, and the local suppliers that make the food genuinely fresh. That knowledge comes from cooking here hundreds of times, not from a listing on a marketplace.

Mid-to-large villa estates with 3–7 bedrooms dominate. Most were built for the private-rental market and feature professional kitchens, garden dining gazebos, and infinity pools overlooking terraced paddies.

Group retreats, multi-family holidays, and yoga teacher-training cohorts that need a self-contained compound with catering. Also popular with photographers and artists on long-stay residencies.

Wos River valley views
Lodtunduh organic rice fields
Mas woodcarving village (2 km south)

Local dining guide

Private chef dining in Lodtunduh: what makes this area different

Hiring a private chef in Lodtunduh is different from booking the same team in another part of Gianyar. Mid-to-large villa estates with 3–7 bedrooms dominate. Most were built for the private-rental market and feature professional kitchens, garden dining gazebos, and infinity pools overlooking terraced paddies. Guests here typically match this profile: Group retreats, multi-family holidays, and yoga teacher-training cohorts that need a self-contained compound with catering. Also popular with photographers and artists on long-stay residencies.

Short-stay villas and Airbnbs in Lodtunduh are the most common booking type — you do not need a permanent cook on staff. Share the listing link so we plan kitchen access, shopping runs and cleanup around your check-in.

Landmarks and villa corridors we regularly serve around Lodtunduh include Wos River valley views, Lodtunduh organic rice fields, Mas woodcarving village (2 km south), Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu (5 km north), Ubud central market (5 km north). Share your villa pin on WhatsApp so we plan travel, kitchen load-in and timing for the real property — not a generic Bali pin.

Menus in Lodtunduh follow the same published floors as the rest of the island, with formats that fit how people stay here: private chef, fine dining, catering, bbq & grills, events, mobile cocktail bar. Standard Ubud-zone rate. Group catering packages are available for large Lodtunduh villas hosting 10+ guests. 50% deposit confirms the date.

For larger villa nights, many Lodtunduh hosts stack private chef day rates with catering formats or a mobile cocktail bar so food and drinks run on one timeline. See island service hubs for villa catering, mobile cocktail bar packages, and occasion experiences such as caviar or whiskey & cigar evenings.

If your group splits villas across neighbouring areas, we still cook with one plan — nearby coverage includes Ubud, Mas, Nyuh Kuning, Kedewatan. Book 24–48 hours ahead for Lodtunduh. Retreat multi-day packages available — share guest count for a fixed quote.
