Restaurant-Café-Bar-Gallery El Aguacate El Aguacate, the avocado fruit, is one of the main ingredients of our cuisine, which combines the typical components of Costarican dishes with international influences into a Nueva Cocina Costarricense. Tortilla Pie, Cream Soup of Green Bananas, Sweet Potatoes al Pesto, Tilapia with tamarind and coco sauce, palm heart salad and beefsteak with sauce of coffee are some of our specialties. Just look at our menu! You can also enjoy first class coffee and cheese cake on our restaurant terrace in the shade of the big avocado tree and look at the exhibition of Costarican art (and buy a picture, if you wish). Every Friday night you also have the opportunity of listening to a native singer or poet. Just below our restaurant, in the garden, there is an open seminar room, where groups up to 70 people can have their meetings and meditations. Our agency is prepared to organize such sessions. At our Caribbean Bar you find a roof painting by Hernan Arèvalo, an authentic contribution to the contemporary art of our country. Menu Hot Entrees
