Private Dining Indonesia — At-Home Fine Dining
Private dining should not mean a quieter corner of someone else's restaurant. With myCHEF, it means the restaurant comes to you: a specialist head chef cooking from scratch in your kitchen, a professional service team pacing the evening, and a dining room that is entirely, exclusively yours — whether that is a clifftop villa in Uluwatu, a family home in Ubud, or a private residence anywhere in Bali.
At Home vs the Restaurant Private Room
A restaurant's private room solves the space problem and nothing else. You still book around their seatings, eat from their menu, drink at their margins, and travel home when they need the table back.
At-home private dining reverses every one of those trade-offs. The menu is designed around your palate and your guests. The pacing follows your evening, not a kitchen's ticket rail. The wine conversation happens with a sommelier at your table, not across a crowded bar. And the setting already feels like home — because it is.
For groups, the economics surprise people too: from IDR 700K per person all-inclusive, an at-home evening is frequently comparable to a quality restaurant once transfers, drinks margins and the 21% restaurant service-and-tax are counted.
| Restaurant private room | At-home private dining | |
|---|---|---|
| The menu | The house menu, same as every table | Designed around your palate and your guests |
| The pacing | Their seatings and ticket rail | Courses arrive when you are ready |
| The wine | Restaurant list at restaurant margins | Sommelier at your table, or bring your own |
| The setting | A quieter corner of someone else's room | Your villa or home — the whole space is yours |
| The end of the night | A transfer home when they need the table | You are already home; the team cleans down and leaves |
What the Evening Includes
This is where at-home dining either delights or disappoints — so here is exactly what happens:
- Menu design — a consultation on tastes, dietary needs and the mood of the evening; you approve everything before the date
- Fresh sourcing — ingredients shopped that day from trusted markets and suppliers; menus follow what is best, not what is easiest
- Your kitchen, professionally run — the chef cooks entirely on site and brings any specialist equipment the menu requires
- Full service — plated courses served at your table; waiters and sommeliers available from IDR 250K per hour, with bartenders from IDR 500,000++ per guest, for a complete front of house
- A spotless finish — the evening ends when you want it to. The team cleans down the kitchen and resets everything before leaving
Nothing arrives pre-made in a box. The standard is the one our wider fine dining collection is built on — including signature tasting menus with optional wine pairing.
Evenings We Create
Private dining covers far more than formal dinners. If it matters to you and it happens around a table, it fits this service — from two guests to a full house:
- Dinner for two — a quiet weeknight meal or a proposal that feels like an occasion, staged in your own villa.
- Milestone birthdays — the guest of honour never leaves home, and the party stays exactly as private as you want it.
- Anniversary tasting menus — a multi-course narrative with sommelier wine pairing poured at your own table.
- Family lunches — a long, lazy Sunday spread cooked and served while you stay by the pool.
- Executive dinners — impress clients without restaurant noise or competing tables, with one accountable team.
Larger celebrations simply add chefs and service staff to the same standard, so the calibre never dilutes as the guest list grows.

Across Indonesia. Bali is our home and the base of our full-time private chef Bali team, and it is where we can guarantee the deepest bench of chefs, staff and equipment. Beyond Bali, we arrange private dining across the archipelago on request — the neighbouring islands of Nusa Penida and the Gili Islands and Lombok; Jakarta and West Java; Yogyakarta and Central Java; the highlands and lakes of Bandung and Bali's own Bedugul; and further afield to Flores, Labuan Bajo and Sumba for villa and resort stays. For destinations outside Bali, travel and same-day sourcing are planned into the proposal in advance, so the standard on the plate is the one our fine dining collection is built on, wherever the table is.
