Celajes Restaurant Monteverde

5 stars We had an amazing experience at Celajes Restaurant in Monteverde! The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was full of flavor and clearly made with care. We also really enjoyed their happy hour – great drinks and a beautiful view made it the perfect way to relax in the afternoon. The atmosphere is peaceful and the setting is stunning, with views of the cloud forest all around. Our whole family was very happy with the visit. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. It’s a perfect spot for a special meal or a relaxing evening in Monteverde. Highly recommend it – we’ll definitely be back!

The vibe is great, the view is great. The service was a bit slow. The cocktails were good, bread, butter, and burrata appetizer were delicious. We were unfortunately a bit underwhelmed with the main courses. Not a ton of flavor. My husbands steak dish was a but undercooked and my fish dish was okay.

Incredible. Waiter named Adan was very attentive and friendly. Beautiful place, stunning views that allowed you to watch the fireflies. Food is inventive and delicious

What an amazing spot! We went early and caught the sunset, and it was quite the show. There were thunderstorms off in the distance, and it made for a wonderful experience. The food was tasty. I had a mushroom risotto - which the group agreed was the best dish. We also tried a steak dish, but it was a little undercooked. The house-made bread was a huge hit with my teens. It spurred a core memory for my son, who became obsessed with finding other homemade breads around Costa Rica. Our waitress was attentive and very helpful.

It was great to enjoy amazing food with a spectacular view. This is a hidden gem in Monteverde. Highly recommended

We found this hidden gem inside a tucked away resort on a hill. We dined on their patio that had terrific views of the cloud forest. Our server(Fio?) was so kind and helpful. The beers were real good and the nachos and steak sandwich delicious. We enjoyed the relaxation of listening to the rainfall and relaxing after a long hike. Stop here and enjoy!

Our experience here was nothing short of fantastic. The menu was fresh, thoughtfully curated, and absolutely delicious. Definitely the best meal we’ve had in Costa Rica so far! We came on the earlier side with our toddler and sat on the far end of the patio - where we had a bit more privacy and an unreal view of the mountains below. Everyone was so friendly, especially our sweet waitress Katherine. We chatted all about the property, their farm-to-table menu, and other highlights of visiting Monteverde. We will definitely be back and highly recommend a visit to this lovely restaurant if you’re in town!

My family went here for happy hour. The coctails were not great, but the beers were good. I ordered sweet plantains as a snack and then ordered 3 more plates of them. They were by far the best plantains I've ever had in my life! They were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, thinly sliced, and naturally sweet. Order the plantains!
