Origins — Restaurant in Tamarindo

Origins has truly amazed and enchanted us in every possible way. During our 10-day journey, we opted for this culinary experience six times for dinner simply because the food was irresistibly delicious. Most of the ingredients come directly from La Senda's organic and biodynamic garden, with everything else sourced from nearby organic farmers. The flavors and combinations are not only unique but downright delightful. For someone naturally critical, there is genuinely nothing to fault here.

In addition, the staff deserves all the praise. Their friendliness and genuine concern for your evening make the service unforgettable. Everything unfolds at a perfect pace, allowing you to fully savor the culinary journey. We must note one small hiccup – the crème brûlée was a bit inconsistent and lacked flavor. However, given the overall outstanding experience, we are willing to overlook this minor flaw. A well-deserved score of 10/10...
