“Where do I even begin? From the international cuisine to the impeccable service, stunning presentation, and incredibly satisfying portions, every aspect of this experience was exceptional. Eddie and Maribel delivered a five-star dining experience that I will never forget. The menu featured a fusion of Latin, Italian, Russian, and French influences, all elevated with a distinctive Costa Rican flair. I'm usually not someone who gravitates toward desserts, but their tres leches cake was so incredible that I found myself going back for seconds.”

★★★★★

“Absolutely delicious! We have hired Eddie several times over the past 3 years, including for a Christmas dinner, and every time he has impressed us. Him and his team are great hosts, have been able to accommodate various dietary restrictions, and are simply a joy to interact with. Ps: He makes the best tres leches I've ever had (and I've had quite a few!).”

“My wife and I had Chef Eddie cook for us whilst we were staying in Manuel Antonio and it was a fantastic experience. We enjoyed a tuna tartare appetiser and a main course of mahi mahi cooked in a creamy sauce with capers. For me the dessert was the highlight, Chef Eddie's famous tres leches cake, absolutely fantastic! One other point is that when Chef Eddie cooks for you he leaves the kitchen cleaner than it was when he arrives!”

★★★★★

“Chef Eddie absolutely crushed it for us. We had him cook for us two nights and both meals were amazing, like restaurant-quality but in the comfort of our place. He was professional, on time, super easy to communicate with, and made the whole experience feel effortless. Portions were generous, everything was spotless when he wrapped up, and everyone left happy and full. If you're thinking about booking a private chef, hire Eddie.”

★★★★★

“This was our first time in Costa Rica and we had Chef Eddie come in to make us in-home breakfast each day. Hands down one of the best things we did! Each morning we had fresh fruit with an amazing authentic Costa Rican breakfast dish. Absolutely the BEST breakfast we have ever had. Professional, personable, and amazing food! Definitely one of the highlights of our trip!”

“Chef Eddie prepared the most wonderful meal for our family when we were staying at the Casa Cali villa, catering thoughtfully for both the carnivores and the two vegetarians among us. Every mouthful was pure pleasure and Eddie was a lovely man. Very highly recommended.”

★★★★★

“WOW! It was the best experience ever, we went earlier to see the sunset views, it was breathtaking and then we saw toucans on the trees. What a unique experience and the food was incredible, words can't explain how delicious all three courses were. The private attention from Chef Eddie made the experience far more special than I expected. What an awesome space he has created at his home.”

★★★★★

“I would like to say thank you to Chef Eddie and his wife Maribel for an AMAZING dining experience as our personal chefs for our trip to Playa Hermosa. Every single dish was delicious. If I could give 7 stars instead of 5, I would. The food, the service and the experience was top tier. I will be contracting them again on all future visits. Pura vida!!!”

★★★★★

“This is the best private chef experience my friends and I have ever had. Eddie and his wife Maribel throw it down in the kitchen. I don't know which meals were my favorite. Each meal I had got better and better and better. The tres leches dessert... WOW!!!! The best I've ever had!! If you ever need a private chef in Costa Rica, hire Eklectic Kitchen!!”

★★★★★

“We felt so spoiled tonight having Chef Eddie and Maribel cook dinner for us in our Airbnb. The appetizers, dinner and dessert were to die for, and so much food we have leftovers! They are super sweet, smart, and amazing chefs. They made the evening special, and completely cleaned up as well. Lucky for us, they are returning in the morning to make us breakfast!”

★★★★★

“I had the absolute pleasure of enjoying a meal prepared by Chef Eddie, and I can confidently say it was one of the most memorable dining experiences I've had. Every dish reflected his passion, creativity, and incredible attention to detail. The flavors were perfectly balanced, the presentation was beautiful, and the ingredients were clearly fresh and high quality. Be careful, you can get addicted to his food!”

“We asked Chef Eddie to help with cooking and catering for a private brunch at our house for our friends and neighbors. He delivered an amazing culinary experience with dishes that beautifully blended authentic Costa Rican ingredients with a sophisticated international influence. Each course was thoughtfully crafted, expertly executed, and elegantly presented. Beyond his remarkable cooking skills, Eddie brought warmth, charm, and a great sense of humor to the event.”

“Makes me hungry just thinking about it! Dinner with Chef Eddie, a flavor infusion of the best wines and the tastiest local ingredients. Perfect for when you want to get together with neighbors but not go out! Eddie's love for great food and good conversation is infectious. It's really hard... but try to save room for the incredible desserts.”

★★★★★

“My family and I visited Eddie's house for a special lunch he had prepared. The place is beautiful, and the ambience is delightful. The food was spectacular! You can choose from a variety of options on the menu, and Eddie can cook whatever you have in mind. The wine selection they offer is excellent. I highly recommend the experience!”

★★★★★

“Eddie and Maribel were wonderful hosts, welcoming and very attentive with their service. The surf and turf carpaccio was very flavorful, offering a nice contrast between the beef and tuna with a touch of citrus. The Cajun jambalaya was a new dish for me; it was delicious, rich in flavor, and spicy without being overwhelming. The environment was very relaxing, nestled in the tropical rainforest.”

“It's truly an honor to have had Chef Eddie of Eklectic Kitchen prepare meals for our guests. We have hired Eklectic Kitchen each time we have extended stay guests. Chef Eddie has an incredible and contagious personality, completely immersing the guests in the culinary arts. You can eat at his well appointed home or he brings Eklectic Kitchen to you. He leaves the kitchen cleaner than when he arrived.”

“Chef Eddie has cooked for my family and friends multiple times. He also cooked for us when we had a neighborhood party. Eddie is a very friendly and talented chef. I love his Papa Rellena with chipotle sauce appetizer. He always makes a little extra just for me because he knows I love them. I highly recommend Chef Eddie to cook for you and yours.”

“We contacted Eklectic Kitchen for a dinner party with friends. Our house doesn't have the space to host groups, but Eklectic's location was simply perfect and beautiful. The menu was varied, fresh, and delicious, and we had a fantastic experience. Our kids are huge fans!”

★★★★★

“10/10 recommend!! Chef Eddie was fantastic, we hired his team for a birthday dinner and it was amazing. The food was so fresh, we definitely recommend trying the tuna tartare, chicken piccata, and the tres leches.”

“I've had the pleasure of dining at Eddie's home, Casa Eco De Mar, more times than I can count and each visit has been as unforgettable as the last. Tucked up in the mountains of Portasol with a sunset view and jungle breeze, it's one of the best places to share a meal with good friends. The dishes are always creative and beautifully presented, and the vibe is pure pura vida: relaxed, genuine, and full of flavor in every sense. If you're lucky enough to be invited to a meal at Eco De Mar: go. You won't want to leave.”

★★★★★

“Eddie was absolutely phenomenal! He cooked several meals for us during our stay in Costa Rica and everything was so thoughtful and absolutely delicious. He even paired wine with our meals. He is so gracious and kind! We will definitely be hiring him again when we visit!”
