Start your day with fresh ground Costa Rican coffee. Enjoy delicious food while listening to sweet melodies of the forest birds outside. This beautiful restaurant has a soothing modern style, and overlooks a garden filled with flora and fauna indigenous to Monteverde.

Enjoy the tastes of Costa Rica with a wide variety of your favourite breakfast options. Or try a typical Costa Rican breakfast, known as Gallo Pinto.

Ocotea is proud to use fresh, locally-sourced ingredients and products from Monteverde’s highlands. This includes locally grown coffee beans, fresh handmade cheeses and delicious local fruits and vegetables. 

The sun sets early in Costa Rica (approx. 5:30 pm), because of its proximity to the equator. It’s impossible to describe the beautiful colors produced as the sun drops down over the Gulf of Nicoya and dips gently down into the Pacific Ocean. Be sure to schedule at least one sunset on the Rooftop so you can see it for yourself.

Every seat at The Monteverde Rooftop has a spectacular view. Enjoy the amazing scenery with a delicious cocktail. Or choose from a selection of high-quality wines, paired with a variety of delicious delicacies. Every item on the menu uses only the best fresh locally-sourced ingredients.

**If you’re an early riser, feel free to spend your morning curled up on the Rooftop with a mug of fresh coffee. Nothing starts your day as well as watching the sun rise majestically over the canopy.

Gaze in awe as it gently illuminates each tree one leaf at a time before bursting into view. Watch it spread its warm glow up into the sky as it lightens from darkest purple to brightest blue. It's a truly unique and inspiring experience.
