My best place in Paje so far! If I’m not wrong opened on weekends with life music. Friday had an amazing band, Saturday short intro with life music as well, guys have beautiful voices. Place have different zonings for sitting. Not sure about the food, but there was a bar, coffeeshop and shisha place. I finally checked out Bento after hearing several recommendations, and I must say it was actually very good! The food court has plenty of options: from burgers to ramen, Mexican food and more. So there’s something for everyone. We decided on the Mexican food truck and had the chicken tacos. They were generous with the filling (almost too much, since it made them a bit tricky to eat), but overall tasty. For dessert, we grabbed some ice cream from another stall and if you go, please do yourself a favour and try the tropical flavour. It was absolutely divine and reminded me of Solero ice cream. So refreshing! The atmosphere is also a highlight: lively, full of young people, with live music adding to the vibe. Definitely a place I’d go back to. Wanted to try the pizza just because somebody said it was one of the best in the aerea. And they were right, as Italians we loved it. Also tried the chicken tacos, really good too. Prices are a little high compared to the average, but it’s a tourist place so it’s understandable.

We absolutely loved this food court during our stay in Paje. The wok dishes were delicious and the sushi was excellent. We ended up coming back multiple days in a row, this quickly became our go-to spot for dinner. The atmosphere is very pleasant and cozy, making it a great place to relax and enjoy your food.

Great place for a family with different food choices but lots of flies. The burgers are very average. The wok, pizza and Mexican are absolutely delicious! They also have some amazing gelato.
