Barakka Bistro

Top choice in Cahuita


Enjoy some of the best French and Italian fare in town: the Florentina crepe is stuffed with spinach, cream, chicken and cheese and has an egg cooked into its center, and Barakka (the Italian half of the marriage) makes a fine pesto from macadamia, not pine, nuts. Those who like it raw may opt for the ever-fine tartare or carpaccio.

The baked fish of the day and the croque monsieur with béchamel sauce, ham and Emmental cheese are also winners. Finish up with the homemade tiramisu. The desserts are the creation of Barakka's sister, who runs the Pan y Azucar pastry shop near the bus terminal. Barakka was the first business in town to support Turtle Rescue Cahuita.
