Some nights on vacation you don't want to get dressed up, wait for a table, and split a taxi into town — you just want a great dinner to appear on the table at your rental. That's exactly what Villa Dinner #1 delivers. As your private chef in Jacó, I bring the groceries, cook in your kitchen, plate every course, and clean up after — so your only job is to pour a drink and enjoy. It's one of the most popular menus at www.jacobeachchef.com, and a perfect first dinner for a group settling into a new villa.
What's on the menu
Villa Dinner #1 is a comforting, crowd-pleasing spread that works for kids and adults alike. It starts with your choice of fresh lemonade, soda, beer, wine, and cold water, then a crisp Caesar salad and toasted French bread brushed with butter and garlic salt. The main is a juicy grilled chicken breast served over butter-flavored rice — simple, satisfying, and always a hit — and we finish with a slice of rich chocolate cake. It's the kind of homestyle dinner that makes a rental feel like home, without anyone touching a pan.
Restaurant-quality without leaving your villa
Eating in beats eating out on a group trip. Nobody has to drive, the kids can stay in pajamas, and everyone eats together at one big table steps from the pool. I handle the shopping, the prep, the cooking, and the cleanup, so the evening stays relaxed from the first drink to the last bite of cake. Whether you're in Jacó, Herradura, Los Sueños, or Playa Hermosa, I come to you.
Great for families and groups
This menu is a favorite for families with kids, first-night arrivals, and any group that wants an easy, filling dinner without a fuss. Portions are generous and scaled to your headcount, so nobody leaves the table hungry. Want to make it a bigger celebration? Pair it with a private bartender or add decorations — just ask.
How the night works
Booking is easy. You send me your date, your headcount, and any allergies or preferences, and we lock in the menu. On the evening of your dinner I arrive with everything, cook it fresh in your villa kitchen, serve each course at your table, and leave the kitchen spotless. There's no minimum drama and no hidden fees — just a warm, home-cooked meal that lands on the table at the time you choose. Most groups book their first villa dinner for arrival night, when nobody feels like going out.
Simple pricing, no surprises
Like every menu, Villa Dinner #1 runs on my straightforward private-chef pricing — a flat rate per person, per plate, plus the cost of groceries and a small service charge — which keeps me cheaper than just about every other private chef in Jacó.
