Restaurante El Chato

Dining at the Lodge

Costa Rican cuisine, served under the canopy.

Our on-site restaurant is the heart of the lodge — an open-air dining room woven through hand-crafted tree branches and trailing greenery, with views straight into the rainforest. Whether you're staying with us or simply passing through La Fortuna, every guest is welcome at our table.

Mornings begin with traditional Costa Rican breakfasts — gallo pinto, fresh tropical fruit, eggs your way, hand-pressed tortillas, and freshly brewed coffee from the mountains. Lunch and dinner bring honest Tico cooking: casados, ceviches, slow-cooked meats, and daily specials inspired by what's local and in season.
