Elevation Cafe, owned and operated by former 4 Seasons Toronto chef, Lane Patrick just opened in the spot formerly occupied by Olga’s Coffee Shop on the road to Langosta. Elevation has a gourmet breakfast menu and some nice lunch options. During low season it is only open at night as a wine & tapas bar on Fridays and Saturdays. They also have many specialty drinks including a number of martini options.

Upstairs you’ll find Rain Doll, a small boutique with women’s clothing and a few must haves for Tamarindo living.

For those that didn’t know, Olga’s has moved to occupy Voodoo Lounge during the mornings.

There is also a new French bakery open in Plaza Tamarindo facing High Tide surf shop. They have some great salads. Name coming soon!
