To get in tune for your order, try a ginger Margarita, or a delicious Hibiscus mojito.

We asked Liz what her biggest challenge was when she started managing the Bistro. “English” he answers immediately. Luckily Liz’s eyes speak, and her smile invites you to practice your Spanish skills. “And if all else fails, there is the telephone,” she adds. “The clients like that we speak to them in Spanish.”

The diners are a colorful mix of Costa Ricans, North Americans, and Canadians. Liz greatly appreciates the support of her clients! Two couples always come for lunch. They say they love going to Ballena Bistro because they allow them to change the menu. “We gladly accommodate our visitors’ wishes and make them feel at home,” says Liz.

Only sometimes, you will happen to see a rabbit hopping around the restaurant. It’s Luka, Liz’s pet, who usually sleeps during the day. With its nose, it seeks attention, and if ignored, it kicks at the door with its hind legs. Jenga is also part of the Ballena Bistro family. He is an amiable dog and a good host.

You see, you are going to feel at home, enjoy it, and bon appétit!
