El Avión

Restaurant and bar built around a 1954 Fairchild C-123 cargo plane tied to the 1980s Iran-Contra affair, parked on the hillside along the main Manuel Antonio road. The plane's fuselage houses the bar and the open-air terraces face the Pacific for sunset. Menu staples include coconut shrimp, seafood curry, yellowfin tuna steaks, and fried calamari.
