Orchestrated by the spirited head chef, Gingerbread’s Eyal takes every agreeable patron on a true culinary journey. From appetizers to the last dessert and drink, Eyal never disappoints with his creations.
The food is just the start of your experience at Gingerbread. The ambiance is like none other in the world. In between bites, guests enjoy listening to Eyal’s colorful descriptions and stories behind his signature dishes.
Gingerbread “ranks alongside the top restaurants in Europe or the U.S… many consider it the best food in Costa Rica.“

“Best food in Costa Rica! Absolutamente! I highly recommend when making your pass from or to the volcano, hot springs, etc. Or plan ahead and make sure they have cheesecake. Vegans or Vegetarians? Not a problem, there’s always something on the menu. Ps. Best food in Centroamerica!”

“The food! The garden of eden room is beautifully rustic and the shower is one of a kind. Did I mention the food? Eyal the chef is a genius! The room comes with breakfast which was amazing too!”

“Truly one of the best meals I’ve ever experienced. The flavors from the meals is unsurpassed. Really! the sauces are so good, you’ll use the bread provided to lap up any last amount of sauce available. We stayed in the “Wine” bungalow—a separate/detached building. Incredible.”
