Private Chefs · Moscow · English & Russian
Exceptional food. Intimate moments. A table of your own.
Private dining, thoughtfully crafted seasonal menus, and bespoke culinary experiences in the comfort of your home.
What we do
One kitchen, four ways to use it. Whether it's an intimate dinner for two, a seasonal tasting menu, a table full of guests, or simply the pleasure of having dinner taken care of each week, every experience begins with the same philosophy: thoughtful food, personal service, and care in every detail.
As a husband-and-wife team, we bring the same hands-on approach to everything we do. Every detail is considered, every course thoughtfully crafted, and every experience designed to let you enjoy the pleasure of exceptional dining without the work that comes with it.
Thoughtfully composed menus and restaurant-quality cooking, served in the comfort and privacy of your own home. From intimate dinners for two to special occasions with friends and family, every detail is shaped around your guests and the atmosphere you want to create.

Four times a year, we create a new tasting menu inspired by the changing seasons and guided by the finest ingredients at their peak. Each course is our own interpretation of the season, thoughtfully composed through distinctive flavors, textures, and unexpected pairings. A new season, a new menu, and a new evening to remember.

Breakfasts, lunches and dinners for the week ahead — cooked fresh, portioned with care and labelled, so good food fits around a full schedule instead of competing with it.
BUILD YOUR WEEKLY PLAN→Seasonal Menu
Inspired by the changing colors of the leaves, the richness of the harvest, and the comforting aromas of warming spices, our autumn menu celebrates the season through deep, earthy flavors and beautifully composed dishes. Rich textures, gentle sweetness, and warming notes come together in a menu designed to bring comfort and indulgence to the table as the days grow colder. Every course captures a different expression of autumn, inviting you to slow down and savor its fleeting pleasures.
3, 5, and 7 course options available

The Experience
From the first conversation to the last plate washed, our private dinners and seasonal dining experiences are designed to feel personal, considered, and wonderfully simple. From sourcing the ingredients to setting your table, serving each course, and leaving your kitchen immaculate, we take care of the details so you can be fully present with your guests.
Every memorable evening begins with getting to know you. We talk about the occasion, the people gathering around your table, the atmosphere you have in mind, and the flavors you love. It's a relaxed conversation that helps us understand what matters to you, so we can begin imagining a menu and experience that feel entirely your own.
Within a few days, we'll present a thoughtfully composed menu shaped around our conversation, your preferences, and the occasion. Alongside it, you'll receive one clear price per guest, so you know exactly what to expect before anything is confirmed. Once the details are agreed, we'll take care of the planning from there.
We source quality ingredients, arrive a few hours before service, and quietly prepare in the kitchen to be ready for the evening. We bring the equipment, tableware, silverware, and linens, and set your table with care. By the time your guests arrive, everything is in place and the evening is ready to begin.
From the first course to the last, we serve at your pace, attend to your guests, and clear each plate as the evening unfolds. Between courses, we move quietly behind the scenes, allowing conversation and company to take center stage. When the evening comes to a close, we leave the kitchen as we found it, clean, orderly, and ready for the next day.
Your guests. Your home. An evening thoughtfully taken care of.

About Us
The Private Table was born from a simple idea: that some of the most memorable dining experiences happen not in restaurants, but around the tables of the people we love. We are Brandon and Polina, a husband-and-wife team of private chefs based in Moscow, Russia. Together, we bring professional kitchen experience, a shared passion for exceptional food, and a personal approach to every experience we create.
Head Chef Brandon has spent more than fifteen years developing his craft, including five years cooking internationally in professional kitchens. Over time, he discovered that what he loved most about cooking went beyond the food itself. It was the moment a beautifully prepared meal brought people together, sparked conversation, introduced someone to a new flavor, or turned an ordinary evening into something worth remembering.
After relocating to Moscow with his wife, that realization became the inspiration for The Private Table: restaurant-quality dining, thoughtfully brought into the comfort and privacy of your own home. As a husband-and-wife team, we work together through every detail, from composing your menu and sourcing quality ingredients to preparing, presenting, and serving each course. Cooking together have taught us how to anticipate what an evening needs, work seamlessly behind the scenes, and create an experience that feels effortless for our guests.
We believe inviting chefs into your home should feel reassuring, personal, and easy. We take the time to understand your preferences, respect your space, and approach every table with the same care we would give our own. Our goal is not simply to serve an excellent meal, but to give you the freedom to be present with your guests while we take care of everything behind the scenes.
Based in Moscow and working in both English and Russian, we welcome local and international clients alike. From the first consultation to the final details of service, communication is clear, the planning is considered, and every element is handled with care. Our philosophy is simple: professional standards in the kitchen, genuine warmth at the table, and an experience you can trust us to deliver. You bring the people who matter. We'll take care of the rest.
