Kahiki Restaurant

One of the advantages that distinguishes Tamarindo from other beach resorts is that it has many excellent restaurants. This is the Kahiki restaurant, which features food from the Pacific Rim, from Thailand to Hawaii.

A guest who rented our condo recently wrote that she and her daughter during their week in Tamarindo/Langosta went on a "Search for the Perfect Mojito." They pronounced Kahiki the winner.

Like most restaurants in Tamarindo, it is open air, as shown in the photo below.



Its website, which includes photos of the restaurant, the menu and photos of some of their dishes, can be accessed by clicking here.

It has appetizers such as Kona Mountain black bean humus, Thai shrimp spring rolls with pineapple dipping sauce, and entrees such as filet mignon marinated in chipolte house rub, fresh seafood, and in a deviation from the Pacific Rim theme, Mediterranean chicken breast with couscous and sauteed spinach.

Taking a vacation or having a condo or second home at a beach resort in a developing country can often mean limited options for fine dining. Small towns may lack gourmet restaurants, and large resorts may cause guests to feel confined to the dining options at the resort. As I mentioned in an earlier post, my wife is a "foodie," and we love Tamarindo because of the variety of dining options available in its approximately 50 restaurants.
