About
An open-air spot with a Mediterranean lean — souvlaki wraps, falafel, shakshuka, and standout pita alongside all-day breakfast like eggs benedict and açaí bowls, plus a latte more than one guest called the best they've had. There are loads of gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options, and servers like Sebastian are warmly remembered. When it's short-staffed the pace can drag, so it's best when they're not slammed.

Beautiful place, very well located. We ordered a fruit bowl with passion fruit sauce (the sauce was a bit too sour, but the fruits were delicious), an açaí bowl (the mango wasn’t amazing, but the rest was really good), and a Benedict eggs plate (the bread was incredibly good). We also had a taro drink, which was delicious, and some iced lattes that were just as good. Our server was very kind. Overall, a lovely place that I definitely recommend.
We came here for breakfast and I’m so glad we did! The service, atmosphere, food, presentation. All incredible!! Our server Sebastian was so friendly and knowledgeable. The food was incredible. I got the open breakfast and the pita was insane. All the toppings were so good. I got a fresh OJ as well which was delicious. 10/10 would definitely come back.
This is the best restaurant in La Fortuna, an absolute must-go! Sebastian was an amazing host, so warm and welcoming. And thank you to Julie who made our delicious G&Ts and cocktails. Food and service 10/10. Best gluten free souvlaki wrap I’ve ever had! Loads of GF, vegan and vegetarian options. Will definitely be recommending this restaurant to everybody who passes through this lovely town.
