Breakfast - !donde! MAYE, Grecia

We discovered this restaurant through a recommendation on Facebook. We are always looking for places to have breakfast and the Facebook recommendation mentioned that they offer Denver omelettes, also known as Western omelettes in Canada. We have now been there twice.

And that is what we both ordered on our first visit:

These omelettes are loaded with everything - spinach, onion, ham, gooey cheese, pimentos, etc.  Price: 2,500 CRC, about $US 4.65.The three pieces of toast and the omelette are the perfect size.

And let’s not forget the batidos. Lance ordered the mora (like a blackberry) with milk. They are delicious and appear to have ice cream in them. The second time we had breakfast here I ordered a pineapple batido with milk … it was icy cold and so good. Price: with water: 1,000 CRC, about $US 1.85. With milk: 1,600 CRC, about $US 2.97.

Total for one omelette with toast and one batido with milk: 4,100 CRC, about $US 7.62.

This little restaurant may be hard to spot at first but keep looking. They have 4 tables and a lunch counter with about 10 seats. It’s pure Costa Rica to me. We can sit at our table and people watch the street outside, which always seems busy.

Here is a map to their location. You may want to get there early or you may not find a convenient parking spot.

On our first visit to this restaurant, we met the owner. As best I can remember, he originally came from South Carolina, then moved to Alaska. He also spent some time living on Granville Island, Vancouver, Canada. Now he is in Costa Rica running his restaurant. Everyone has a story to tell here.
