Come to Citrus Restaurant in Ojochal (Costa Rica)

Aug. 25, 2008 - PRLog -- Ojochal, a popular tourist destination in Costa Rica, is located in the most beautiful estate in Costa Rica. Co-owned by Marcel Van Willigen and Sylvain (from Paris), the citrus restaurants impart an excellent Mediterranean cuisine. The rich cuisine of the region is due to the converging of all the best international talent from all over the world. Edward R. Mercer was one such entrepreneur who came to Costa Rica in 1998 as a guest. Ultimately, Ed decided to make Costa Rica his home. Endowed with amazing business acumen, Ed had the foresight to invest in buying and selling the land properties in Costa Rica. A self made millionaire, Ed’s rags to riches story motivated him to dedicate himself to the humanitarian causes. Ed is pledged to donate a portion of every sale by his real estate company to preserving the lush rainforests of the region, reforestation and infrastructure. When Ed came to Costa Rica, he provided infrastructures to the school children (who had to walk miles to reach schools) in the form of roads, buses and the recreational fields. Ed Mercer came to be known as Mr. Costa Rica for his commitment to improving the lot of his community. Such was the good faith Ed generated that he was the first ever non Costa Rican to advise the President.

His enterprise, Edward R. Mercer Foundation, is devoted to sustainable conservation of ecology to guarantee a greener planet for future generations. Ed Mercer was inducted into the Environmental Hall of Fame for pioneering efforts at saving the wildlife species of the scarlet macaws (hunted for feathers), white-faced monkeys (hunted for pets and recreation purpose) and sea turtles (for eggs that we used as aphrodisiacs); which were on the verge of extinction. Ed is a member of prestigious organizations like World Wildlife Fund, Greenpeace and National Geographic. Recently, Ed hailed the announcement of the third international airport as a positive step to attract more tourists and to further boost the ecotourism in Costa Rica. The real estate company of Ed Mercer is reputed to have the best investment property (vacation home, rental income, custom home or exotic beach property) in Costa Rica. So, if a tourist is looking for investment property in Ed’s real estate company, renting in Uvita or surfing in Dominical, the good reviews of Citrus make it a mouth watering proposition to be visited.


The location of Ojochal is about 25 miles south from Dominical and Uvita and 25 miles north from Palmar Sur and Sierripe, where the new international airport is scheduled to be completed by 2010. The Citrus restaurant has raised the bar of excellent dining in Ojochal. The amazing Cost Rican fish and sea food restaurants in Ojochal also included the Swiss, gourmet pizza, Bavarian and French eclectic forms already. The Citrus restaurant has already generated the best of reviews a few months back making it a hot spot for its wonderful ambience topped by equally wonderful food. The atmosphere is upscale, outdoor and indoor and the visitors are awe struck by the pristine beauty of the area. The views and the perfect cuisine are both first rate. Earlier, the co founders of the Citrus restaurant had opened another restaurant where the cuisine was French eclectic, but Citrus leaves all behind. Not only are the services excellent but also the modern, artistic, cool and edgy atmosphere complementing the serene views. The recipes worth mentioning are the jumbo shrimp in the citrus secret sauce, the appetizers and the cappuccino.
