The short answer
A weekly private chef in Berlin typically costs between €350 and €800 per week.
The exact price depends on factors such as household size, number of cooking visits, and the overall cooking effort.
These figures are realistic ranges, not fixed prices.
Why prices vary
Private chefs do not work with standard packages. Weekly pricing is usually agreed individually and depends on several factors:
• Number of people in the household
• How often the chef cooks per week
• Type of meals (simple home-style cooking vs more elaborate dishes)
• Dietary preferences or restrictions
• Shopping and preparation effort
The clearer the weekly structure, the easier it is to estimate a fair price.

Private chef vs food delivery
Per meal, a private chef is usually more expensive than ordering food.
Over the course of a week, the difference often becomes smaller, especially for households with multiple people.
Many households choose a private chef because:
• planning, shopping, and cooking time is reduced
• meals are freshly cooked and tailored
• food waste is lower
• daily mental load around meals disappears.
