Our Guest Say
Posted on AndyG6Verified Great Food, Friendly Staff Probably the best meal we've had during first 7 days in Costa Rica. Special of the day was pork & chicken skewers with peppers and pineapple in a teriyaki sauce (GBP 14). House red wine a very pleasant Argentinian Malbec (GBP 5). Excellent value for money. Great reviews by KathrynK and ACathy3 in the last month led us here. Happy to recommend.Posted on moky cVerified Value for money Mangiato spaghetti hamburger e insalata tutto veg. Ottimo e i migliori french fries ever consigliatissimo!Posted on Mykola LVerified THE GREEN EXPERIENCE. I would rate this restaurant 5stars. The owner and his wife were super.

We had a lovely meal. The Salmon was delicious and my husband had the burger which he said was yummy.Posted on Kathryn KVerified A real hidden gem We loved this little place. Dont be fooled by its simple looks. The food here is some of the best we had in Costa Rica and my aunt said the salmon was one of the best she has ever had. Warm, friendly atmosphere, great food, wine and very reasonably priced! Highly recommend!Posted on ACathy3Verified The place to eat in Monteverde Tucked away above the commercial shopping centre but absolutely worth finding Good wine list Lovely staff very knowledgeable of the menu which has specials especially David We both had steak my partner rib eye mine more fillet with Gorgonzola sauce amazing . Glad we came in when we did because it filled up Shared a brownie dessert delicious.Posted on Margot MVerified Rundum bestens versorgt und zufrieden Wir hatten uns für einen gemischten Teller mit Scampi, Rinder- und Hühnchenstreifen entschieden, garniert mit Kartoffeln und Gemüse. Alles war frisch, knackig und absolut lecker gewürzt. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist einwandfrei. Der Service war aufmerksam, freundlich und unaufgeregt. So mag ich das! Von uns aus eine klare Empfehlung! Pura Vida!Posted on Sue RVerified Tasty fresh food to be had at this little restaurant We enjoyed our meal at this restaurant. It's not a big place and is on the second floor of a shopping plaza, but don't let that put you off as the food was very tasty and fresh and you'll get a warm welcome. The menu should cater for all tastes. The salad and vegetables were very fresh and I had a great tasty selection in my "green bowl". They offer many vegetarian dishes as well as things like chicken, etc. We parked at the free parking lot about 5 minutes walk away, but there is also parking around the plaza but it can get busy!Posted on ValerieVerified Recommend ! We had a really great experience here. The food was delicious, fresh, and well prepared, and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxed. The staff were very friendly. We definitely will come back!
Posted on Lisa HolbertTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Quaint little place in town with delish food and quite the choices. David, the owner was so hospitable and had quite the sense of humor! The bread was oh so good and the burger just perfect. Give them a try….you’ll be glad you did!Posted on Deb and Dave BeaversonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The food and experience are incredible! One in our party is a celiac and the food was safe and so very delicious. We had the lunch special - pasta in tomato sauce with various proteins (shrimp, muscles and mahi mahi) and chicken soup. The food was seasoned so well - rich, hearty and so very satisfying. Our celiac did not have any ill effects and she had the lunch special with pasta. The owner knew what celiac was and was careful with food. One of the best experiences and meals on our trip. Pura Vida! Go visit the Green Restaurant!Posted on David KeuzenkampTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Het restaurant zit niet op een logische plek. Je moet trap op en zit op 1e verdieping. Maar wat hebben we lekker gegeten. Ook de bediening was perfect, echt een aanrader. Parkeren ook geen probleem toen wij er waren wat wel soms een dingetje us in Monteverde.Posted on Martin GroenenbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Chaque plats que nous avons goûté étaient réussisPosted on Sonia SerranoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fuimos a este restaurante porque nos lo recomendó una tica en la zona del Arenal. La comida estaba muy buena pero consideramos que los precios eran un poco elevados. Sobre todo el pescado, nos lo recomendaron como plato del día, fuera de la carta y el precio al no verlo resultó ser alto… Personal amable.Posted on Beatriz González RoblesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Comida internacional de buena calidad y precio aceptable.Posted on Andrea RehTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Restaurante muy recomendable, sobre todo las carnes mixtas.
