About this experience

Private Chef in Puako is a bespoke dining service on the Big Island of Hawaii, where a professional chef cooks and serves a multi-course meal in your vacation rental or beachfront setting. The chef sources local ingredients, including fresh fish and produce from nearby farms, and tailors the menu to your dietary preferences. Each booking includes a private consultation, on-site preparation, and full service with cleanup, making it a direct way to enjoy island cuisine without leaving your accommodation.

What to expect

A 3- to 5-course dinner is prepared and served on-site, with a typical duration of 2.5 to 3 hours from setup to cleanup.
The menu is customised after a pre-booking consultation, covering allergies, vegetarian, vegan, or pescatarian preferences.
All ingredients, cookware, serving dishes, and table settings are brought by the chef; you provide only the dining table and seating.
Guests watch the chef cook in your kitchen or outdoor lanai, with an optional interactive session for up to 8 people.
The service suits families, couples, or small groups celebrating a birthday or anniversary, with a fixed price per person starting at USD 150.
A local fish course, such as ono or mahi-mahi, is typically featured, sourced from Honokohau Harbour on the day of your booking.
