How it works

A few details.
A well-considered table.

We bring the meal plans together so you can make more of your stay.

Meal preparation and presentation in a villa kitchen
Images show our actual villa settings and include some AI-created chef scenes. Your booking’s chef is confirmed individually.

Start with a conversation.

You do not need to choose every dish before contacting us. A date, an approximate guest count, where you are staying and a sense of the meal you want are enough to begin.

1. Tell us about the stay

Use the short inquiry form. Only your name and email are required. Add the date, accommodation and guest count if you know them, then share menu preferences, allergies, the occasion or a budget idea in the optional details.

If you prefer to continue on WhatsApp, include your number with the country code. We will use your contact details to respond and help coordinate the experience you requested.

2. Check the property and service fit

For Private Table, an outside chef needs permission to work at your accommodation and suitable access to the kitchen. The inquiry asks whether your property permits this: yes, not sure, or no.

If you do not know, ask your host or manager. If an outside chef is restricted, we can discuss Table Delivery as an alternative and check which delivery rules apply.

3. Shape the menu with a chef partner

We coordinate with independent local chef partners around availability, guest count, meal style and dietary requirements. Menu planning considers the people at the table as well as kitchen practicalities.

Tell us early about serious allergies, vegetarian or vegan guests, gluten-free requirements and children. Adaptations and food preparation suitability are confirmed with the chef, rather than assumed from a dish name.

4. Confirm the complete quote and arrangement

For an in-villa service, the chef fee and ingredient costs are separate. Your final quote needs to account for your menu, guest count and any extra service. Delivery has its own quote.

Before booking is finalized, confirm availability, the menu, the full price, timing, inclusions and any applicable payment or cancellation terms. An inquiry itself does not make a reservation or take payment.

5. Enjoy the experience you chose

Private Table: the chef prepares the meal in your villa, serves the group and handles kitchen cleanup.

Table Delivery: the meal is prepared off-site and delivered under the agreed handoff plan. Confirm serving, reheating and handling details for the chosen dishes.

Arrival Table: the delivery is coordinated around your expected arrival, with contact and access instructions agreed in advance.

Who is providing the chef service?

Manuel Antonio Table coordinates the booking and guest experience. Independent chef partners perform the culinary service. They are not presented as employees of the brand. We will confirm the service arrangement with you while bringing the plans together.

Let us arrange the table

Your people. Your villa. Your table.

Tell us your dates, group size and the kind of meal you have in mind. We will help bring the details together.

Booking, payment and cancellation

Book as far in advance as possible. We also welcome last-minute requests when availability allows. Please give at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations. Payment is due upon completion of the service.

Service fees and groceries are separate costs

Published rates cover service only. Actual grocery and ingredient costs are billed separately, in addition to the service fee. A steak-and-lobster menu will likely cost more in groceries than a fish-and-chicken menu. Your menu choices and guest count determine the shopping required.
