About this experience

Private Chef in Palermo is a bespoke dining service where a professional chef cooks a multi-course Sicilian meal in your chosen venue, whether a rented apartment, villa, or rooftop terrace. The chef sources seasonal ingredients from Palermo's markets, such as the Vucciria and Ballarò, and prepares dishes like pasta con le sarde or caponata while you watch. This activity suits food-focused travellers who want a personalised meal without restaurant formality, with the chef handling shopping, cooking, and cleanup.
