My wife and I just ate here and it was great! Good casados with sea bass, chicken, or steak. Good hamburgers and the waiter even had the cook put some pineapple and chipotle sauce on it for me to make it a bit more spicy. The service is great and when we were ready to go we got our check... More

we stopped by Morpho's at the suggestion of our Concierge while staying in Monteverde. The atmosphere was great, we were the only guests at the restaurant, so we were taken care of with great vigor! Food was good and very reasonably priced. The interior is painted with murals and artwork of great quality.

We walked to Morphos from our hotel after a morning walk through the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. Had great burgers, a beer and shared a banana split. Prices are reasonable, the service was friendly and great. We really enjoyed the meal.

This very popular restaurant in Santa Elena is painted inside and out with attractive local scenes and its namesake blue morpho butterflies. Due to the crowd in the main part of the restaurant, we were seated in the upper level next to an open door with a pleasant cool breeze. We ordered the daily special, a reasonably priced Costa Rican... More

This restaurant food was good. We walked here from Rustic Lodge, and ate lunch. The service was ok and our waiter spoke perfect English. Good food choices, we ordered casados that were pretty tasty. We ate near the waterfall in the back of the first floor, it was nice as we saw some butterflies as we ate.

Very slow service but food was ok when it arrived. They also took a good 20-30 mins to give us the wine

Morpho's was quite handy to the Arco Iris where we were staying. It's an attractive restaurant and the service was good, but not outstanding. The food also was pretty good, tasty and filling, but not anything to write home about. I was quite disappointed that the salad served with the casado dinner was lettuce with the addition of some canned... More

We ate here for lunch on our way out of town. We chose the upstairs seating because it has a beautiful view of flowering bushes. We ate inside because the few outdoor tables were occupied. We liked our food, even though they did not have a children's menu. My 9 year old got a hamburger and my 6 year old... More

Our hotel highly recommended this restaurant and it is bright and clean and well decorated and overall we really enjoyed the foot. Only trouble was there was no kids menu, which is usually fine, but they seems to struggle with what to do. Our kids were 4 & 2 and so we suggested possibilities and final convinced them to bring...
