Fodor's Expert Review Platillos Voladores Restaurant

This elegant home turned restaurant is one of the city's smartest dining options, offering carefully prepared dishes with a contemporary twist. Seafood is the highlight, with dishes that brilliantly blend the main ingredient with local fruits or plantain; don't miss the risotto or creamy coconut-based soups that are a coastal tradition. Interior murals by artist Carlos Andrade add color, but it is the calm, leafy patio that is the prize spot. Service is excellent, but the place is hugely popular, so reserve ahead and don't be in a rush.
