Home / Brunch & Lunch
Private chef brunch and lunch at the house
A private chef brunch that is ready when the house wakes up, or a midday spread between the pool and dinner. Each one is planned around your group, then set up, served and cleared.
Build your own brunch
Brunch is the most flexible meal we cook. You choose the mix, and we build the spread: a hot egg dish or two, something sweet, something savory, fruit, and the small touches that make it feel like an occasion. Favorites from recent brunches:
- Cinnamon rolls piled with strawberries and blackberries
- Shakshuka with avocado, or a breakfast casserole for big groups
- Smoked salmon toast with whipped cheese on thick sourdough
- Dragon fruit yogurt parfaits with kiwi and granola
- Stone-ground gouda grits, bacon and breakfast sausage
- A mimosa and spritz setup with juices and fruit (you provide the sparkling wine)
Build your own lunch
Each lunch spread is built around a single theme, so every dish complements the others:
- Taco bar: proteins, slaws, salsas and toppings arranged in bowls along the island
- Mediterranean: grilled chicken or kofta, hummus, tabbouleh, warm pita and feta
- BBQ: smoked pulled pork, baked beans, pineapple coleslaw and mac & cheese
- Tea sandwiches: for showers and luncheons, with salads and small sweets
Pricing
Brunch and lunch are $68 a person for the chef service, plus groceries (usually $20 to $25 a person for daytime menus), with a $830 minimum before food, tax and gratuity. Book a brunch alongside a private dinner the same weekend, and we will plan the two menus together so nothing repeats.
Questions people ask
What time do you arrive?
About 90 minutes before you would like to eat. Tell us when the group usually wakes, and we will time it so the food is hot when the first guest comes downstairs.
Can brunch be a surprise?
Yes. Share the door code and quiet hours, and we will set up without waking anyone.
Is it served or self-serve?
Brunch and lunch are usually served as a spread your group helps themselves to, refreshed throughout the meal. Plated brunch is also available.
