This tipico breakfast at the eco-hotel next to our rental includes gallo pinto ("painted rooster" -- a combo of white rice and black beans), eggs from their chickens, wedges of firm, salty cheese made in the kitchen from the milk of their dairy cows, a lightly salted sour cream sauce (again, from their own cows), and blackberry juice. It's delicious and filling. |

This small Monte Verde breakfast/lunch restaurant had a woodstove that didn't
draft well and the smell of wood smoke permeated the room. Lunch was simple:
a large, hand-patted corn tortilla with a boiled chicken leg laid on top,
then sprinkled with crumbled salty cheese.The beverage? Freshly made
passionfruit juice, which was exquisite.
