spot with an unexpected but respectable sushi menu. The terrace affords fantastic ocean

Kapi Kapi Restaurant
FUSION
While there is some stiff competition for the title of best restaurant in the area, this Califor-
nian creation certainly raises the bar on both quality and class. The menu at Kapi Kapi
(
kapi kapi
is a traditional greeting of the indigenous Maleku people) spans the globe from
America to Asia. Pan-Asian-style seafood features prominently, brought to life with rich
Continental-inspired sauces.
South American wines and Costa Rican coffees complete this globetrotting culinary ex-
travaganza. True to its name, Kapi Kapi welcomes diners with soft lights, earthy tones and
soothing natural decor, which perfectly frame the dense forest lying just beyond the peri-
meter.
