Ode to the Elephants — Restaurant in Rincón

We had an unforgettable dinner at Ode to the Elephants in Rincón. From the moment we walked in, everything felt calm, warm, and peaceful. The soft lighting, the open space, the wooden beams, and the tropical plants made us feel like we were tucked away in a private oasis.

My wife and I ordered the chicken and shrimp drunken noodles and the combination fried rice with chicken and shrimp. Everything was full of flavor, made fresh, and perfectly balanced. The dumplings were soft and juicy, and the shrimp rolls were crispy and light.

What truly made the night special was the kindness of the staff. They didn’t just serve us—they took care of us. The chef even made a special fish sauce with diced chili just for us. That’s the kind of love you feel in this place.

I looked across the table and saw my wife smiling with joy, taking it all in. That moment alone made it worth the visit.

This is not just a restaurant. It’s a hidden treasure where the food, the service, and the atmosphere come together to create something rare.

If you’re ever in Rincón, don’t miss it. One of the best meals we’ve had, on or off the island. We’ll be back,...

I am so happy this restaurant is back albeit at a different location. The place is what you would expect in Rincon: nature connected, cool, and friendly. The staff was very accommodating and knowledgeable. But the star of the experience, as it should be, was the food. I strongly recommend trying level 1 in spiciness and then selecting 2 and 3 as your palate withstands.

We tried the appetizers: satay chicken, the friend calamari, and the curry puffs. They were excellent.

The entrees included Pad Thai, Garlic Noodles, the Green Papaya Salad (low spice), and the Drunken Noodles. They were super tasty and delicious.

We skipped dessert since we were more than adequately fed. This is a must...
