Jaco Private Chef

What locals are saying about Jaco Private Chef

This is a chef who cooks at your villa: they arrive, plan the menu with you, help with the grocery shopping, and handle the prep, the serving and the kitchen cleanup. The menu runs from breakfasts (American, typical Costa Rican, vegetarian, or a brunch with a Bloody Mary) to dinners of tacos, a poolside BBQ, an Italian night, a seafood feast with lobster and jumbo shrimp, surf & turf or a sushi night. Gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian requests are welcome, and the website says bachelor parties are among its most requested jobs.

Pricing is straightforward: US$150 per meal or US$350 for a full day with three meals, with groceries billed separately. It serves apartments, Airbnbs, villas and condos in Jacó, Los Sueños, Herradura and Playa Hermosa, and it's best to message on WhatsApp with your group size and dates, especially in high season. It suits anyone staying in Jacó who would rather have dinner without leaving the house.
