Why Hire a Private Chef in Perth?
Perth's unique position as Australia's most isolated capital city makes private chef services especially appealing. Combined with access to exceptional WA seafood, wine regions, and fresh produce, our private chefs deliver experiences that rival the world's best dining destinations.

Birthday celebrations, anniversaries, engagement dinners, or family reunions, our Perth private chefs create memorable experiences for every milestone. Popular for events in Cottesloe beachfront homes, Peppermint Grove estates, and Subiaco terraces.

A World of Styles to Choose From

Why We Built Kootto
Geoffrey visiting Yves' home town in Brittany, North-West France — two French expats building something new on the other side of the world.
Kootto was founded by two French expats, Geoffrey, a software engineer, and Yves (Ian), a professional chef, who saw the same problem playing out across Australia: booking a private chef was harder than it needed to be. Perth's outdoor lifestyle, love of fresh seafood, and growing appetite for premium in-home dining made it a natural fit for what we were building.
The Problem We Kept Seeing
Back home in France, booking a private chef was simple, browse menus, pick what you like, book, done. In Australia, clients faced endless back-and-forth emails, vague pricing, and menus that arrived days later. Perth clients especially, with their love of relaxed home entertaining, deserved a faster and more transparent way to access great chefs.
The Turning Point
When Geoffrey was laid off during COVID in 2020, he and Yves spent time tearing apart every private chef platform they could find, hidden pricing, no upfront menus, chefs buried in admin. That analysis became the blueprint for Kootto: a marketplace built around the kind of transparency and simplicity that should have existed from the start.

What Our Clients Say
Perth Client Reviews
Living in Perth, we don't always have the restaurant options of east coast cities. Our private chef brought that level of sophistication to our Cottesloe home, WA rock lobster, Margaret River wines, and impeccable service. It's become our favorite way to entertain.
Hosted a corporate dinner for 8 clients at our Peppermint Grove property. The private chef created a stunning seafood menu paired with Swan Valley wines. Our eastern states clients were thoroughly impressed with Perth's culinary offering.
Booked a private chef for my 40th birthday. The menu featured fresh Fremantle fish market seafood and creative dishes we'd never tried. All 12 guests said it was the best meal they'd had in Perth. Worth every cent!
