Zelva Natural Lounge

Mindo Opened 2024

Garden cocktails and live music in the Chocó Andino cloud forest

Zelva sets its bar and kitchen in a garden on Calle Vicente Aguirre, mixing Chocó Andino ingredients into a menu that leans more bar than restaurant. Weekend nights bring live music and themed parties, so come for drinks first and dinner second.

The original Mindo spot has since spawned a second location in San Miguel de los Bancos. Book a table through the link on its Instagram rather than by phone.

Good to know

• Reserve through the Instagram booking link.
• Check for live music on weekends.
