Stay in. Let dinner become part of the vacation.

Private Table brings a private chef to your Manuel Antonio villa to prepare the meal, serve your group and handle kitchen cleanup. Spend the evening together instead of arranging transport, choosing a restaurant or leaving the kids behind.

A meal around your people.

Choose the mood: a relaxed family-style dinner, Costa Rican flavors, a quiet breakfast or a celebration worth lingering over. Explore our menu inspiration and dining experiences, then tell us what your group enjoys.

We bring the plans together.

Manuel Antonio Table coordinates your experience with independent local culinary partners. Share your date, accommodation, guest count and food preferences. We work through chef availability, menu and timing with you and prepare a complete quote before booking.

Your vacation rental is welcome too.

You do not need to stay at one of our partner villas. Your host must allow an outside chef, and the kitchen and dining setup need to fit the group. Tell us what you know; we can help identify the details to check. If on-site cooking is not suitable, explore chef-prepared meal delivery.

Know the complete cost.

Chef service and ingredients are separate. Your quote explains the meal cost and any applicable additions; the pricing guide shows planning service fees, not all-inclusive dinner prices. Larger groups receive a kitchen and staffing review.

Food preferences, handled thoughtfully.

Include children’s needs, vegetarian or vegan preferences and allergies in your inquiry. Serious allergies require a specific review of ingredients and cross-contact; we do not guarantee an allergen-free kitchen.

Begin with what you know.

Request a quote with your dates and group size. You do not need a finished menu to start. The inquiry takes no payment and is not a confirmed reservation.

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.
