Nekajui Garden
“Nekajui“, the Chorotega word for garden was selected for our garden and restaurant environment. In a pleasant corner of the old garden of the hacienda house, 4 pleasant firepits have been placed to enjoy an excellent cocktail and something to eat outdoors. On the terrace, next to the hacienda’s old clay oven, we have selected some dishes that we prepare in the coven to enjoy local ingredients with dishes from the area.
