Private Chef in Manuel Antonio
Book a private chef in Manuel Antonio for a multi-course dinner at your villa — Costa Rican tasting menu, pairings, and full kitchen cleanup included.
Savor a private dining experience in Manuel Antonio, prepared in your villa by a professional chef. The menu pairs Costa Rican ingredients — fresh-caught seafood, tropical fruit, produce from nearby farms — with classical technique and international influence, built around what's in season. Watch each course come together, then sit down to what may be the best meal of your trip.
Choose from a selection of menus, from Costa Rican classics reimagined to internationally inspired multi-course dinners, and your chef brings the entire experience to you. Whether it's the villa where you're staying or another setting of your choice, every course is built around fresh, locally sourced ingredients, prepared and plated on-site, and served exactly when you're ready.
Menus are tailored to your group ahead of time, including dietary preferences and allergies, and the kitchen is left exactly as it was found. All you do is choose, pour a glass of something you love, and sit down to what tends to become the highlight of the trip.
