Frommer's Review

Located high on a hill above the main road, El Sapo Dorado offers up great sunsets and food. The menu is more imaginative than at most restaurants in Monteverde, which makes it worth a visit even if you miss the sunset. The regularly changing menu might include grilled corvina in heart-of-palm sauce, shrimp in a sambuca mushroom sauce, or filet mignon in pepper-cream sauce. The emphasis is on fresh ingredients and healthful preparation, and there are always vegetarian and vegan options as well. If you come for lunch or a sunset dinner, definitely grab a table in the large, covered dining room, which has full walls of picture windows for taking in the views, or, weather permitting, on their outdoor terrace.
