Ojochal opens another Hit of a Restaurant.

By, “The Tico Reviewer”
Ojochal’s newest restaurant, Citrus, opens to great reviews.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ojochal has long been known as sitting in the middle of what is perhaps the most beautiful real estate in Costa Rica, the Southern zone, where scarlet Mac Caws, Tucans and White faced monkeys are seen in the lush, rain forest covered mountains stretching to the sea. However, Ojochal is also known to have some of the country’s most exquisite cuisine.

“Where is Ojochal and why would it be known for its cuisine?”, you might ask. First of all Ojochal is about 25 miles south of Dominical and Uvita and about 25 miles north of Palmar Sur and Sierripe where the new international airport is slated to arrive in 2010.
The reason why the cuisine is so rich? In one word its “expats”. Yes that’s right ex patriots, regular people from other countries who also saw the beauty of this wondrous area have moved here from around the globe and with them, they have brought a dinning selection is both rich and diverse. This beautiful area now boasts French Eclectic, Bavarian, Swiss and, even gourmet pizza in addition to amazing local Costa Rican fish and seafood restaurants, and now, a new jewel has just opened that should not only continue this tradition of excellent dining but promises to raise the bar.

Citrus has arrived on the scene. A wonderful restaurant with wonderful ambiance and food that, you guessed it; is wonderful. In fact it’s beyond wonderful, it’s truly amazing and it will certainly add significantly to the first rate selection in the area.

Citrus is a Hit

The cuisine is “Mediterranean Fusion” and it is owned by Sylvain and Marcella Fillion, who are originally from Paris and have lived in the Osa region for 11 years. They were originally co founders of another area favorite, Exotica, serving wonderful French eclectic food. Citrus seats about 100 people comfortably in a upscale indoor / outdoor atmosphere surrounded by the beauty of the area.

Marcel Van Wiligen who is a resident of Ochocal, a Citrus dinner and an expat himself and also happens to work for the largest builder and developer in the area, Ventana Del Pacifico, (www.CostaRicasBestProperty.Com) , had the following to say about Citrus. “The food is wonderful here and so is the atmosphere. We’re so fortunate to have the best, most beautiful real estate in Costa Rica as well as truly amazing food. It’s a little paradise here”.

Marcel is certainly not the only one that feels that way. The service was excellent. The atmosphere is artistic, edgy, modern and just plain cool. The appetizers, and entrees such jumbo shrimp in the Citrus secret sauce are to die for and their deserts and even their cappuccino are outstanding. Did we mention they have a full service, premium bar as well? This place has it all; it’s a hit and it looks like it will be that way for a long time to come.

For whatever reason you’re in the area, be it buying investment property from Ventanna del Pacifico, surfing in Dominical, renting in Uvita or just on your way to Drake Bay, Gulfito or the Osa peninsula, Citrus is a must to add to your trip. Yes, its that good.

Whats Being Said: Release: Big Things in Little Places

Whats Being Said: Release: Big Things in Little Places

 

For_Immediate_Release:
IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 19, 2007 -- Ojochal, Costa Rica, November 1, 2007

As one of the largest private developers in Costa Rica, Ventana Del Pacifico has been ahead of the curve in the latest Green movement. Isla Garza, one of the smaller islands of Costa Rica, has quietly been a sanctuary for the diminishing population of Scarlet Macaws for many years now. Considered the most widely identifiable bird on the planet, the Scarlet Macaw is know for its brightly colored feathers and distinctly shaped head. Once known to be the most sought after bird by poachers in the country. Now Ilsa Garza is a refuge to hundreds of Scarlet Macaws and has become a new, safe haven for this colorfully spectacular bird.

How does a person create a sanctuary on an island without the use of cages, nets or screens? It’s relatively simple, plant 500 almond trees, the Macaws food of choice, and they will naturally come. The ultra fertile soil found in this region of the Osa Pennisula of Costa Rica makes upkeep a dream. The trees naturally grow and re-seed themselves thus providing an ongoing food supply. How might something like this transpire? What is so big about these wonderful birds? Ask Ed Mercer and Sylvaine Pilault, 18 year residents of Costa Rica and founders of Ventana del Pacifico. After watching people take advantage of the animals and the excessive poaching that went on, they asked the government for control of the island. After which, they cleaned it up, planted food sources and posted 24/7 guards to protect its shores and populace.

Also to its credit, Ilsa Garza provides a home for Howler Monkeys and a protected spawning ground for Leatherback Sea-Turtles and its famous eggs that were harvested as an aphrodisiac.

If solid investments are what matter most to you and you desire to break through the earning barrier then “Costa Rica’s Best Property” is for you.
