Zona K Atelier

What locals are saying about Zona K Atelier

The ceviche and the tuna tartar draw the praise, along with the coconut-breaded shrimp, the pulled pork and a banana tempura with ice cream to close the meal; one guest says they haven't eaten better anywhere in Jacó and was treated to complimentary stuffed risotto balls. Breakfasts — served from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. — and lunches also earn affection, and the cocktail list is long.

It's described as an oasis in the middle of Jacó, classy, with service that most find attentive and friendly, though it isn't consistent: one visitor found the staff distracted on a quiet afternoon and another had a mix-up with the bill. Open every day except Tuesday, in Playa Jacó.
