Peruvian style Ceviche: lemon juice-marinated white fish with slices of sweet peppers and onions. Served cold with sweet corn, camote and an Ají hot sauce. Ají is an orange-colored Peruvian-bred chili that is extremely hot and superbly flavorful. Enjoy sparingly. Camote is an indigenous starchy-filled root (l.batata) equal in taste to yellow sweet potato only white in color.
Ceviche al estilo Peruano: pescado cocido en jugo de limón con chile dulce y cebollas. Servido con elote dulce, camote y una salsa de ají picante. Ají es un chile crecido en Perú, muy picante, pero con un sabor extraordinario. El camote es endémico (l.batata) y es como una papa dulce.
Papaya Garden Salad: crisp lettuces, crunchy vegetables, sweet papaya, local cheese and toasted marañón nuts, served with our homemade papaya seed dressing. Marañón is known by most of the world as the cashew. Native to Costa Rica the small evergreen-and-red cashew tree has both nut and fruit, with its kidney-shaped nut clinging outside, under the pear-like fruit. The soft fruit is commonly used to make frescos, a liquefied fruit drink.
Ensalada Verde con Papaya ~ Lechuga fresca, vegetales crujientes, papaya dulce, queso local y semillas de marañón tostadas servidas con nuestra salsa casera de semillas de papaya. El árbol verde y rojo de marañón tiene una fruta en forma de pera con una semilla, en forma de riñón, que crece como una apéndice de la fruta, y se exporta a nivel mundial. El fruto es muy popular en fresco. |

Chicken or Fish Palmito: a choice of tender chicken breast or fish of the day, grilled and served with a cilantro cream sauce with sautéed fresh locally grown palm hearts (palmitos) and roasted marinated sweet red chilies.

It produces both palm hearts and date-like cluster pejibaye fruits prized for their high vitamins and minerals.

Vegetarian Coconut Curry: sweet potato-like camote, green plantain chunks and chayote are simmered in an exotic curry sauce and served with white rice. Garnishes include diced fresh pineapple, bananas, peanuts, cucumbers and sweet papaya. Chayote, a vine-grown squash-like gourd, and golden papaya, a large green-skinned fruit from a tree-like arboreal herb, are native to the area. Originally from India, starchy plantains now grow worldwide in the tropics.
