Setting: |
Paraiso is a casual bar/pub like setting with lots of smaller tables both inside and outside. Silverware and paper napkins are used but no tablecloths here, it's very casual. For their Sunday breakfast many prefer to sit under the private bohios outside the restaurant. The restaurant is decorated with many lovely murals inside by a local artist, giving the bar a tropical feel. The restaurant will easily seat a large party both inside and out. Washrooms are clean and private. |

Comments: |
Paraiso is a great new bar not far from the beach community on the road to El Valle. At the moment they are in a “soft” opening and will have their grand opening sometime in the next few months. The bar has a friendly atmosphere, good staff and is a great place to go hang out for a beer and even a visit with Canadian owner Rose Bourgeois. When my companion and I had lunch there recently we sampled several different items. I really enjoyed their bacon cheeseburger .Their fish and chips, more North American like, was also very good. But we both really enjoyed their fries and chicken wings. Paraiso makes fresh cut french fries, these are not from a bag and they are awesome! The wings were also a nice surprise, not greasy either. I was pleased to hear that Rose is also working on being able to offer gravy with her fries soon. The restaurant also offers breakfast everyday from for only $5 including coffee or tea. They open at 9:30am for early risers. Think about stopping in the next time you are heading up to the market in El Valle. Paraiso's prices are still very reasonable considering many local restaurants prices have been slowly creeping up. It is nice to know there is still some value for your money when eating out here. Rose is working on creating a spot for everyone to be able to hang out and catch up with friends, if you want to eat you can but if you just want to get out for the night, Paraiso is another great option to mix and meet with new people. Recently she has been offering live music and open mike nights and will continue to come up with other great ideas to keep her clients coming back for more! |
