Current menu · Costa Rica
A table made for your moment.
Easy breakfasts, shareable lunches and memorable dinners prepared by your chef at the villa.
A transparent proposal
How it works.
Your preferences. Your groceries.
For regular private chef services, the service fee is fixed and groceries are paid separately. You choose the ingredients, quantities and budget; your chef adapts the proposal to your preferences and agreed budget.
All ingredients purchased and paid for by you stay with you. We provide the receipts so you can review and verify the expenses, and leftover food is packed for you.
Lunch, dinner and sushi can include appetizers and dessert: select or remove them in your quote request. Their ingredients are part of the grocery costs, not the fixed service fee.
Rather than choosing just one restaurant dish, shape a meal around your group and make use of your groceries during your stay. When comparing options, consider the service, groceries and what stays with you.
Events receive a separate proposal with inclusions and terms agreed in the quote.Choose your experience
