A birthday, an anniversary, a milestone trip, or just a “we're finally all together” night — these are the dinners worth doing right. People ask me all the time whether a private chef can handle a celebration in Jacó, and it's honestly what I love most. As your Jaco Beach Chef, I turn your villa into the venue. Everything's at www.jacobeachchef.com.
Your villa becomes the restaurant
Instead of squeezing a big group into a restaurant and splitting across tables, the celebration stays at your villa — everyone together, drinks flowing, music on, nobody watching the clock. I cook and serve while your group does what it came to do: celebrate.
A menu built around the guest of honor
We plan the menu around whoever (or whatever) we're celebrating — favorite dishes, a seafood feast, a Costa Rican grill, or a multi-course dinner. Tell me the vibe and I'll shape it. Dietary needs and picky eaters are easy to work around when the kitchen is yours. Start with the sample menus.
The toast moment
There's something special about a chef-served dinner on a warm Jacó night — the courses coming out, glasses raised, the whole group around one table. That's the moment people remember long after the trip. No rushed restaurant turnover, just your celebration at your pace.
Special touches and any size group
Want to surprise the guest of honor? I can coordinate a dessert course, time the big reveal, and work quietly with the group so the moment lands just right. Celebrations scale to whatever you need — an intimate anniversary dinner for two, a milestone birthday for the family, or a full villa of friends marking a big trip — and the menu, pacing, and service all flex to match. Because the dinner is at your villa and not a booked-out restaurant, there's no rigid time slot and no splitting the group across tables. You simply tell me what we're celebrating and how many people are coming, and I shape the whole evening around it, from the first course to the final toast.
Effortless from start to finish
I handle the shopping, the cooking, the serving, and the full cleanup — so the host gets to be a guest for once. That complete service is the whole point of the Jaco Beach Chef experience.
