Gourmet dining above the tree line? You bet
You’re going to want to meet Chef Rahim during your stay at The Rainforest Lodge if only to offer your compliments once you get a taste of his culinary wizardry. His adroit pairing of locally grown fruits, veggies, herbs, and spices served with aplomb at the Grove House Restaurant results in sweet and savory delights that win praise from the pickiest diners. A good majority of what’s on the menu is harvested from the resort’s 600-acre garden or local farmers.
What’s more delicious than the food? The atmosphere, of course. Awash in touches that perfectly complement the tree canopy that brings the outdoors inside via wrap-around windows, private dining enclaves filled with indigenous art beneath the timber and thatched roof make dining pure joy. This is no ordinary eatery since it occupies three floors within the lodge. For example, the second deck hosts the bar, lounge, and balcony dining area while the third welcomes guests for breakfast and dinner.
