A little pricey but I'm not surprised in this town especially for organic food. Also, the lunch menu is much bigger than the dinner menu but it wasn't available at dinner time which was a little annoying. But the food was great. I was happy to find gluten free pasta here.

Stopped in for a late lunch (kitchen closes at 2 pm on Sundays) and the team squeezed our order in. Extremely gluten free friendly and the food was amazing. I got the Tuna tartar and a passion fruit mango smoothie and I’ll be going back tomorrow.

This place is a must-visit in Monteverde (even with the trek) don’t miss out!!! The food was INCREDIBLE!! It was also great because they were gluten-free friendly! We had the Senda Soup, Pork Chop, Beef Tenderloin and gluten free Churros for dessert and all of it was immaculate. We don’t have any notes, truly. 10/10 recommend for food alone, but on top of that, the service was incredible - very kind, funny and personable staff (Edwin was our server)! The atmosphere was lovely and relaxing and just all around great. The price is higher but it’s definitely worth it!

It is a hotel-restaurant. The setting is very relaxing and the service is attentive, kind and smiling. At lunchtime, we had the fish tacos: delicious! Of course, when it's busy, the service can be a little long, but we're on vacation... so we stay cool. In the evening, we enjoyed tuna with a red wine sauce, a very original combination. The restaurant also offers gluten-free breads, which is a real plus. And in the morning, what a pleasure to enjoy breakfast served facing the sea... an unforgettable experience!

A cafe serving breakfast and brunch and in the evening there is an evening menu, decent desserts, gluten-free bread, gluten-free pastas. I ate an excellent chocolate + cashew cookie and toast with cream cheese, avocado, hard-boiled egg and vegetables - there are no words! The bakery.

One of my favorite options! You can tell that the ingredients are of good quality, great taste and freshness of the ingredients. It's practically the only restaurant I know where they offer fast food without it being greasy and upsetting to the stomach. I give them all the points for having a clearly marked ingredient bar. I have visited the place with friends who are intolerant to gluten or dairy and we have all been able to enjoy a pleasant time, which is hard to find! Highly recommended.
