Makoko

Beneath a wooden, spaceship-like open-air structure near the pool inside the Mangroove Hotel, Makoko uses local ingredients, from 30-day aged Costa Rican beef to mahi mahi, to craft elegant meals that wouldn’t be out of place in a top restaurant in any North American city. Start your meal with a hand cut tartar before moving to mouthwatering main courses like glazed short ribs with mashed pumpkin or cavatelli with grilled octopus.
