So.
Service was AMAZING.
You have amazing staff here for servers.
The atmosphere — awesome. Love the vibe and the setup and the location and just the whole design.
Concept — love it, different cuisines in one location, awesome.
The food was below average.
Fix the food and you have a 5 star establishment here.
The service and atmosphere allow you to charge premium prices (ie, $20 for a pad see ew, $15 for a roll of sushi)
But the food was pretty bad.
The pad see ew was below average.
The sushi was well below average.
For $50 for a LITE meal for 2 in Costa Rica, it’s gotta be good quality food.
Fix that and you have yourself a 5 star spot.
This review is mostly for the owner.
Oh yeah, we also LOVED all the gluten free options and loved
The gluten free pita and our server, the young gentlemen’s who’s name escapes me, did an AMAZING job and was very attentive (which is not always the case in CR lol)
Fix the food and you’ll be the top spot in Monteverde and the reviews will ALL reflect it!

I ate a gluten-free pizza which costs an extra 3500 CRC but was delicious. I ask for contamination. They said, they cook it in the same oven, but they’ll clean the tray and everything. So I ate it and had no symptoms afterwards. It also came on a wooden plate, which is also a contamination risk, but for me it was fine that day. Maybe they use these plates only for the gluten-free pizzas.
The staff was really friendly and explained everything with patience.

Relaxed, fast casual environment. Straightforward menu with typical Mediterranean options. The food was okay— nothing to rave about. I have dietary preferences, so I avoided the pita bread and fries due to gluten intolerance. The build your own salad bar was awesome. The ingredients were fresh, but none of the sauces tasted appetizing. The others in my party thought the hummus tasted pretty flavorless. The chicken was a solid 6.5/10– nothing special. The atmosphere was good, though— a great place to have a laid back dinner or lunch.

After trying all the coffee in town, they definitely have the best drinks. Overall, little pricier than other places since they up-charge for dairy free alternatives and gluten free bread but it’s worth it.
They have ~lots~ of gluten free options but they let me know they are not celiac friendly since it’s all made in the same kitchen. I am on the lower end (weak positive) of the tTG-IgA scale so I haven’t had many issues with minimal amounts of cross contamination, so if you are the same as me I highly recommend the almond flour coconut chocolate chip cake!

Nice people who speak great English. Super fast delivery! But the food was not great. We ordered pizzas, some regular ones and some gluten-free/vegan ones. The regulars were average, and the gluten free ones were the worst gluten free pizzas we had ever eaten honestly, and very expensive. I hate to say that, but for our taste, that's the truth. 😢

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!

I work remotely and, thanks to some newly diagnosed medical conditions, I need to find meals that are low sugar and gluten free. Guayoyo to the rescue! It is bright, clean space with just the right amount of people-watching and music when I need a break from my work. The staff is always great about letting me take up space with my laptop and making me the most delicious iced and hot teas (with honey!).
My go-to dish is the Tuna Salad made with quinoa and garbanzo beans. I didn't even know I liked garbanzo beans and now I'm obsessed with them. I try stay away from the baked good because of the gluten, but the blueberry muffins and banana bread are worth having my tummy scream at me later.
This is a must-do when you just want a relaxing space that feels a little homey.
