Apego Restaurant is a small bistro with a cozy atmosphere and unique decor, where chef Aurora Goy pays homage to her French-Portuguese roots with creative, refined dishes based on local vegetables. The two tasting menus, Apego (5 courses) and Desapego (7 courses), stand out for their exquisite use of flavors and techniques - with an emphasis on dishes such as hake ravioli with shrimp crudo and 70% Costa Rican chocolate with yuzu, kumquat, and bacon ice cream - a true celebration of contemporary cuisine.
