Exotica – last night in in Uvita!

So once again I am slave to Lonely Planets recommendations, and this restaurant had top scores in Ojochal and I had been begging Arild to take us there before we left!! One thing I really want you to know - the restaurant IS THERE - you just need to keep driving and driving along really bad gravel (super rocky) roads that are winding through the jungle :) After about 10 minutes of thinking you are lost, you are there :)

This is the recommendation from Lonely Planet:

While rural Ojochal isnt exactly a hot spot of cosmopolitan urbanity, this phenomenal gourmet restaurant certainly sets a benchmark for comparison. Despite the humble thatched roof and wooden tables, the menue features a mind-blowing array of noveau French dishes, each emphasizing a breadth of ingredients that are brought together in masterful combinations.... with more than a decade in the business, yet only nine tables for diners to choose from, this is an intimate culinary experience that is certainly worht seeking out.

So tonight, all we did was go eat at Exotica (not a strip-club, though I like the name) in Ojochal – about 15 minutes from here. We were not disappointed this time either – but the prices were very high so beware before going there. You should also be aware that there is no such thing as a kids menue in Costa Rica apparently – so you will pay full price for your kid :-/ The meals were from 15 bucks and up, with most around 22-25 dollars. On top of that drinks and dessert and POOF there goes USD150… 

This is the Tripadvisor review of Exotica.

But yes, it was really really good!

But the chicken wings at Jolly Rogers were AWESOME!
