- KKirstenChicago / Illinois •5 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe (four Chicagoans staying in Costa Rica for the week) were thrilled Don Rufino was as good as the decor and menu implied. We were looking for a nice night out with cocktail and aged rum options and a genuine, non-touristy aesthetic, and everything was tremendous, from the butternut squash risotto to the "grandma-styled" coffee/chocolate rubbed chicken wrapped in a banana leaf. And the fork fell through the pork ribs. The appetizers (burrata and croquettes topped with trout spread) were as interesting as tasty, and the intriguing desserts (creme brulee and cheesecake) were served in unexpected deconstructions. The cocktails were extremely well made and pleasantly effective. The waitstaff was great too -- they were all very nice and smoothly accommodated English. The experience was elevated but casual feeling -- we could laugh and talk but when the food and drinks arrived we definitely stopped to pay attention. Highly recommended for a nice night out in La Fortuna.More infoDon RufinoPrice: Moderate• International• Alajuela•4.8
- JJosephVIPDallas - Fort Worth •13 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 13, 2025I found Natu by accident, while googling another restaurant, and we decided to check it out... and what a happy accident it was! I am hesitant to write this review because the magic of Natu is the story, and I want everyone to experience it first hand, but also want it to be a well kept secret. We are world travelers and I can absolutely say that the drinks and the food are all worthy of a Michelin star, but that being said it's the people that provide a memorable experience unlike any other you will have in Monteverde, or maybe in the world. The thought, the details, the aesthetics, the whole vibe....just go....that's all I can say. It's a gem!More infoNatu Speakeasy BarPrice: Expensive• Cocktail Bar• Monteverde•4.9
- SStacyVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •5 reviews4.0Dined on Jan 6, 2025El Jardin is a beautiful restaurant with a modern, open kitchen and interesting variety on their menu. Unfortunately several of the dishes are missing the mark. My Domenico steak was so fatty and the dish tasted overwhelmingly like the grease from the meat, I barely ate it. The bolognese was too dry. The salad and vegetarian focused dishes were the best we have had in Monteverde. I think if they work on a few things this place can really shine.More infoEl JardínPrice: Expensive• Latin American• Monteverde•4.7
