Lunch - Monsoon Asian Bistro, Atenas

Recently we met our friends Tony and Rose Mary for lunch at Monsoon Asian Bistro.


When we lived in Vista Atenas, Tony and Rose Mary were our neighbours. Here are the happy couple:

Monsoon has an extensive menu. They feature Indian, Indo-Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Thai cuisines and also offer Italian pizzas - just my sort of restaurant. You can view their menu with the link provided above to their website.

Garlic naan bread from the tandoor oven and margaritas:


Lance ordered the chicken biryani:


I decided on the spicy Goan fish curry:


Tony and Rose Mary both ordered the chicken curry (I think). Portions are large and we took quite a bit of it home. All the food was delicious. Definitely returning to this restaurant to try some other cuisines.

From the guide Best Restaurants in Atenas, Costa Rica:

“Owner of Monsoon: David Mander was born in Scotland and moved to Canada with his parents. David’s Mom taught him authentic cooking skills during his entire childhood. In 2002, David opened the very first Indian restaurant in Costa Rica and after years of success, he moved back to Canada in 2016 to pursue his career as an airline pilot.

After the Covid-19 pandemic, David was laid off from his job so he returned to Costa Rica and officially opened Monsoon Asian Bistro and Pizza on July 4, 2021. Monsoon’s chef Ganga Singh (from Uttarakhand, India) is passionate about cooking, and David’s restaurant is open all year round from Wednesday-Sunday, even during major holidays!”
