Why

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.

Perfect for Special Occasions

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.

Access Premium Dining in Perth's Suburbs

While Perth CBD has excellent restaurants, many suburbs lack high-end dining options. Private chefs bring that same culinary excellence to Claremont, Nedlands, South Perth, and beyond, world-class food without the drive.

Corporate Events & Team Building

Impress clients or reward your team with private chef catering. Our chefs regularly serve corporate events throughout Perth, from executive dinners in the CBD to team celebrations in waterfront venues.

OUR STORY

Why We Built Kootto

Yves and Geoffrey, co-founders of 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 We Built Differently

Browse menus and pricing upfront, no quote request black hole
Customise your menu like a restaurant, not a catering form
Everything handled for the chef, so they focus on cooking, not admin

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!
