Restaurante Bananas — Restaurant in Cahuita

The food was so impressive. Don't believe their ridiculously understated menu ("vegetable curry" & "burger"). They could get away with being a little more pretentious with their descriptions. They might be trying to put people off, because they kept having to turn people away. The Germans that run the place are very friendly, food is amazing, and a sloth decided to walk by during dinner (along the phone lines outside). Pretty much cleared out the restaurant as everyone ran out to see it. The music is good too, everywhere else in town seems to have the same two Bob Marley songs on a loop. And they have a lovely dog who guards the diners while they eat. Or just sleeps at their feet. Worth the trip in from the town! Highly...

I met one of the owners out on the beach. He had recommended coming to his restaurant. The atmosphere was relaxing, with kind staff and the cat and dog that were there to keep you company as well. They had these very cute coasters that were handmade by the son’s mother I believe. The drinks and food were also outstanding. They were open to trying out new things. We had asked if they could make us an alcoholic milkshake. They made us some, and they were perfect. Staff was so friendly in fact, the son noticed I had gotten a very bad sunburn. He went in the back and cut me some fresh aloe leaves to take with me. Hopefully one day I will be back to visit ! Highly...

Such a wonderful place! Great atmosphere, great food and awesome people. It’s so relaxing and welcoming you just don’t want to leave. We really enjoyed the food and the owners son was so nice talking to and gave us some helpful tips to get around. As a family with little children our favorite part was probably the little play area they had there with various toys, legos and a hammock. It was really the first time through our trip when we could finally relax and enjoy a cold drink and an adult conversation while our kids were playing independently. Cheers for family friendly...
