I would not paint the eating surface due to the high wear and tear and will require a lot of touch ups over time. Stain the top and then paint the base. Seal the top with a few coats of polyurethane, scuffing between coats with fine steel wool and wipe with denatured alcohol.

Use Chalk paint to do the base and seal with Clear or coloured wax. Or use Gloss paint if you want it to be more hardwearing.
