This place was great. It's away from the town of Puerto Viejo, but not a far drive. The chef and owner waited on us, and even though they had a large group, the service was great. There is only room for about maybe 15 people? Everyone was friendly, the "frutas con leche" was delicious. I had the seared tuna done... more

This place has great food. The chef is from the Bay area in California and his food reflects it. (Not to mention he's a really nice guy so stop in on a slow night and you might get to hang with the chef.) It's a bit secluded so keep an eye out. We were surprised by a few really good... more

Truly, we never had a bad dining experience in Costa Rica. The food was good, affordable and plentiful everywhere. But some places were better than good, and Junle Love was outstanding. We were served by the owner, and because it was the off season, got to hear her story of coming to Costa Rica from San Francisco. The food was... more

On a trip to Puerto Viejo/Playa Chiquita 5 years ago, we could not fall asleep in our jungle lodge for all the rambunctious laughter at the restaurant next door. With my nose a bit out of joint, we walked by there the next afternoon. Yamu had scents wafting out of that kitchen that drew us in, set my nose into... more

Jungle Love was a 3 minute walk from our lodge in Playa Chiquita. We ended up going there for dinner twice during our 6 night stay. The atmosphere is beautiful - right in the jungle, right next to a garden, lots of candles - the staff is extremely friendly, and the food is fresh and incredible, and prepared like a... more

Two friends and myself just returned from one week in Puerto Viejo. On our third night we discovered Jungle Love. It was pouring rain, we ran in to the restaurant to find out they were closed. The owners Yamu and Poppy asked us to wait a moment to see if the kitchen was totally closed. They asked the chef to... more

What can I say? Yamu was the best, the food was to die for and we had a great time. My group of 4 ate at Jungle Love twice during our 10 day stay in Puerto Viejo. Once during torrential rains (the drive back and forth was an adventure in itself). Again two nights later when our rental car broke... more

Ok so I finally ate at Jungle Love. I've lived here (PV area) for quite awhile, but for some reason every time my wife and I made spontaneous decision to swing by and try it, they happened to be closed - and honestly we just don't eat out all that much - I enjoy cooking and BBQing at home a... more

This restaurant is fantastic. It's also small (6 tables). If you are visiting Puerto Viejo, make a reservation as soon as you arrive in town and hire a cab to take you there and back. It's worth it and it's really not that far south of town. Like all good restaurants, you can't just walk in and expect to be... more
