Take a moment to enjoy the calm and excellent food at this wonderful special gem of a restaurant. Follow the little trail, by the sign, through the foliage to discover a sophisticated relaxing oasis amongst the Sea Grape Trees, Palms, and nature friends. You will find nice elevated patios built around the trees with an assortment of orchids and wildlife weaving throughout.
Food: Be sure to order a croissant! They are huge and made to perfection! Pairs perfectly with their made-to-order coffee. We arrived for a late breakfast, ordered the Spanish Omelette + cheese with a plain Croissant and Crepes with fruit with a Chocolate Croissant. Everything was delicious and both pairings will completely will satisfy your sweet or savory tooth. It was clear the person/people preparing our food take pride in the details and presentation of the meals.
Environment: Choose your table inside or outdoors amongst the canopy of assorted green leaves. The shade is welcoming, but the light through the trees is stunning. Enjoy watching hummingbirds zoom in and throughout. Keep an ear out for their territorial chirps and chatters as they dance and chase each other. Enjoy Altamira Orioles, cooing Doves, and other feathered friends. Keep an eye out for the lizards playing tag! They hop among the trees and leaves and occasionally will bop their head between sprinting and pausing. If you hear scrambling on the tin roof or shaking in the branches, it is likely an Iguana(s)seeking the best sun spot or perfect perch.
Additional: Service was friendly and accommodating. Free Wi-Fi! Clean restrooms. Kid friendly. I personally recommend if bringing children, let them know ahead of time, this is a special place to look and listen for pretty birds and wildlife (quietly) so everyone else can enjoy the immersive...
Read moreI stayed on the island for 7 days and this was hands down my favorite restaurant. My best friend and I did a Galentine’s Day dinner here and loved it so much we brought our husbands back the very next day.
Don’t sleep on the veggie lasagna. I love lasagna but red sauces tend to be too rich for my sensitive body. I usually pay for it. Well this lasagna was perfection in every way. It came out looking a bit deflated and lacking layers, so that made us chuckle, but you won’t even care once you have that first bite. It featured crushed tomatoes for the sauce, making it a much lighter dish that didn’t upset my stomach (which still wouldn’t have made me love it any less). I normally have at least chicken in my lasagna but just the veggies was divine and I had the exact same meal the following night.
Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well and we all took advantage trying a bit of everything. The baba ganoush was soooo good; I’d never had it before!
The service was also wonderful. Everyone was friendly, attentive and helpful, offering great suggestions (alllll the puns intended) and even coordinating a taxi for us.
The location is so beautiful and intimate, inside and out. It’s tucked away from the noise of the roads which also made it feel like we’d found a hidden treasure. I’m so lucky this spot was just a 4 minute walk from where I was staying, at the Seremei Villas. I can’t...
Read moreMy sister and I stopped here for dinner while staying a few doors down at our rental. As soon as we walked up, we were in love with the atmosphere. There is indoor seating and a bar, but the outside tables are where you want to be. The patio has a little river, bridge, and beautiful trees with magical string lights, and each table is far enough from each other to feel private and intimate, but still connected. The restaurant itself is more off the main part of the island, so if you’re looking for a quiet dinner or lunch this would be perfect. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive, and even brought us some zucchini baba ghanoush complimentary of the restaurant. I’m not sure if that’s typical or not, but it was very appreciated, and it was delicious. We both chose to get a large margherita pizza to share, and added pepperoni to half. The crust was amazingly thin, crispy on the outside edges but tender near the center. The cheese to sauce ratio was perfect. Overall, we loved our experience and will be...
