Outside of the Box at Z's

by Ask Zipy on 04-26-2019 02:51PM in Restaurants

Restaurateurs around the world have worked hard in developing their culinary style and offer their delicacies to their patrons. Many of us appreciate the restaurant maintaining their consistency of dining. I know I can go to Creperie De Cluny for their incredible crepes on the west bank of Paris or filet mignon followed by a souffle at Bonaparte’s in Montreal or Rhodes’s Taverna Dimitris for their lemon soup or baklava. I can have the same meal today as I had five or ten years ago. Similarly, Z’s Gastro Bar in Quepos, Costa Rica has always been consistent with their delicious menu. When it comes to special groups, booking the restaurant or just a table, they will create a menu for the occasion. If you want to have chef Bonnie prepare a feast of your catch of the day, she will prepare a feast. A group coming to Manuel Antonio or Quepos, may it be a fishing tournament or a group from faraway places will dine on authentic Asian or Middle Eastern delicacy. Z’s steps up and delivers.

Treat Yourself to Cafetto

by Ask Zipy on 01-08-2019 08:41AM in Restaurants

Cafetto has been in operation since December 2, 2015 and in June 2018 they moved to a bigger location, across the street from Centro Comercial La Garza, to serve their clientele. The coffee shop has a modern atmosphere, with free Wi-Fi and fans to cool you off on a hot day. Jorge, Steven, and Beatriz will ensure that you will keep coming back. I know I have. My preferred choices for breakfast are the fully loaded omelet or one with veggies and cheese with a bit of heat, served with tostadas.
