a delightful surprise for the taste buds, such as sea-bass
ceviche

on or lime juice, garlic and seasonings) in coconut milk, barbecue ribs with guava sauce,
and a highly touted burger with figs. The dessert menu does amazing things with tropical
fruits.

Arguably the 'finest' dining in the area. The menu is wide ranging, always highlighting the
local flavors. But these are not your typical
tipica:
beef tenderloin is served on a sugarcane
kebab, pan-fried trout is topped with orange sauce. The setting - with windows to the trees
- is lovely and service is superb. Romantics can opt for a private table in the garden.
Located on the grounds of the Monteverde Lodge.
