This is an excellent choice for sunset dining or just drinks on Playa Venao. Open-air El Sitio offers sesame-crusted tuna and a host of Asian-inspired dishes such as pad thai noodles with octopus, Thai crepes and chicken curry. A dedicated pastry chef prepares lovely desserts like tamarillo sorbet pavlova and chocolate lava cake.
