Residents of Costa Rica’s Whale Coast have a hard choice to make when deciding where to dine!  There are so many options.  Many of the members of one of Christopher Howard’s New Golden Door to Costa Rica Tour were impressed with The Chef’s Table.  Apparently, the food critics were also.  Please refer to the following article.

We have many properties in close proximity to this wonderful restaurant.

Building Lot Hawk Vista IV $150,000

House Hawk Vista III $385,000

Building Lot Hawk Vista II $150,000

House Hawk Vista I $550,000

These are both large parcel properties for an Environmentally conscious developer or lots and turn key houses for newcomers and persons seeking retirement in Costa Rica.

This article that was published in the monthly newspaper “Dominical Days” was written by the food critics Marcel and Andres.

Time Out

THE CHEF`S TABLE

There are few professionally trained international chefs in Costa Rica and Sarah Plowright is one of them. She received her initial training and her Cordon Bleu degree in her native England. Then she worked, among others, with world famous star chefs such as Roger Vergé at his famous Moulin de Mougins in Southern France and also spent some time in United States. For years, she cooked for the rich and famous on their glamorous luxury yachts. That`s where she met her partner Paul Perks.

Chef`s Table is a romantic dong hideout nestled away above Uvita, a few minutes from the Costanera Sur. The restaurant is open for dinner only and subsequently one is left to wonder how beautiful the setting must be during daytime. The dinner menus are either a multiple-course menu gourmand (Sat/Sun) or a somewhat simpler barbecue night (Mon) with a choice of various grilled meat (marinated ribs), chicken or fish. Vegetarians will love the Chef`s Table since there is always something special available for them. The cuisine is distinctly Mediterranean in style but is often accented with Asian flavors.

Guests at Chef`s Table are invited to partake in a monthly raffle. The winner receives a dinner for two. Each raffle ticket is rewarded with a bottle of wine.

Paul Perk`s Australian strine makes him a very distinguishable host and maitre d`.

He seemingly enjoys taking care of all his client`s needs, from their arrival during a torrential tropical rainstorm to the farewell. Being a professional engineer by training, he applied his skills to building anything and everything at this romantic restaurant and retreat, from wrought-iron spiral staircases to the very distinct chairs.

Chef`s Table is the restaurant that goes with Villas de las Aves, a retreat offering quiet and private accommodations in a true jungle setting.

Highlights: Weekly changing menu gourmand. The home-made focaccia and the pesto-flavored olive oil dip are to die for. Romantic outdoor setting with very attentive service. They`re open on Mondays!

Room for Improvement: Wine selection is somewhat restricted. No credit cards due to lack of a phone line. Difference between menu gourmand and barbecue dinners could be communicated more clearly.
