Private dining is best enjoyed from a luxury residence with space, views and hotel-style services.
Miami is one of the few cities where private chef dining has become a genuine luxury category in its own right. For guests staying in a private residence, with a full kitchen, a terrace overlooking the ocean and the space to host friends and family. Having a skilled chef come to the home changes the entire nature of a Miami evening. It is more personal than any restaurant, and more memorable than almost any other experience the city offers.
This guide presents a curated selection of private chefs operating in the Miami and South Beach area, each brought together for their culinary background, positioning and relevance for luxury travelers. From French-Mediterranean tasting menus to Caribbean beach feasts, Latin family celebrations and Shabbat dinners, the selection is designed to cover the full range of occasions that luxury guests tend to plan around. Miami Only One, a private three-bedroom ocean-view residence at 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach, is the ideal base for any of these experiences.
