Private Catering
Rehearsal dinners, milestone birthdays, corporate dinners. Full-service staffing, custom menus, and rentals coordinated end to end.

The Chef
Cooking Texas ingredients
with a classical hand.
Chef Vlad grew up cooking Ukrainian food at home, trained in classical French technique at culinary school, then spent years in Turkey's top restaurants working with Mediterranean and Italian traditions — searing, braising, and building menus.
Private Chef ATX grew out of a simple idea: that a dinner party deserves the same care as a tasting-menu reservation, without anyone having to leave the house.
Every menu is built around three questions: what's in season, what does this table actually want to eat, and what will make the room go quiet for a second before someone says something about it. Texas beef, Gulf seafood, and produce from East Austin growers show up often, filtered through whichever tradition — Ukrainian, Mediterranean, French, or Italian — the night calls for.
Guest Reviews
Leave a Review"I grew up eating borscht and varenyky, and Chef Vlad's version genuinely blew me away. Felt like my grandmother's kitchen but somehow even better. We're already planning the next dinner with him!"
"I booked Chef Vlad to cook the Ukrainian menu for my husband's birthday and WOW. The Chicken Kyiv alone was worth it — crispy, buttery, melted in your mouth. Varenyky disappeared in minutes. Booking him again for sure!"
"Did the Kozak dinner for a small get-together and people are STILL talking about it. The infused vodka welcome drink set the tone and it just kept getting better. 10/10 night, no notes."
"The braised short rib with eggplant puree might be the best thing I've eaten all year, I'm not exaggerating. Then the kunefe showed up for dessert and I was basically floating. Book this guy immediately."
"Had the full French menu for our anniversary and it felt like a tiny trip to Provence without leaving the kitchen. Duck confit was perfect, steak tartare was fresh and bold. Cannot recommend enough!"
"The lamb carpaccio was unreal and the panna cotta had everyone at the table asking for the recipe (he won't give it up, lol). Such a fun, relaxed night and genuinely restaurant-quality food."

In-Home Fine Dining
One Chef, Four Traditions
Chef trained in classical French technique, then spent years cooking Ukrainian food at home and Mediterranean and Italian food in kitchens abroad — that mix is the actual point of view behind Private Chef ATX. Every booking runs the same four-course arc; pick which tradition leads the night, or ask Chef to build one menu that moves between all four.

Good To Know
A Few Questions Before You Book
Is a deposit required?
Yes — a 25% deposit of the total quoted price secures your date. It's fully refundable if you cancel at least 5 days before the event.
Does the price include groceries and ingredients?
Yes. Groceries, ingredients, and service are all included in the per-guest price — there's nothing extra to budget for on that front.
Is wine or cocktail pairing included?
Pairings are optional and priced separately. We'll go over options and cost together during your consultation.
What do you need from my kitchen?
Very little — kitchen requirements are flexible. Chef brings the equipment and mise en place needed to work comfortably in most home kitchens.
