The Best of NileGuide
- Dining in Costa Rica is not what it used to be. In the days of yore, the country lost points for its lack of a signature cuisine and a relative dearth of good restaurants, but all that has changed. Today, Costa Rica is celebrating an explosion of culinary delights with talented chefs who are excited to share fresh ingredients and exotic flavors, and now dining options abound at practically every bend in the road.Sofia and Chimera, sister restaurants in the Monteverde cloud forest offer specialties like plantain encrusted sea bass and coconut shrimp "lollipops," and some refreshing takes on classic favorites like the fresh lobster and juicy steaks at El Gran Escape in Quepos. Not surprisingly, seafood is a main attraction on both coasts and everywhere in between. On the Caribbean coast you might be surprised to find some of the best authentic Italian food at La Pecora Nera, and even the Mexican standards are out of this world at the Lizard King Resort's restaurant. Latin fusion is a term that has helped define the international flavor that is emerging as distinctly Costa Rican, like the creative plates served at the fancy El Nuevo Latino. Vegetarians are easy to please in Costa Rica, too, with places like Flor de Vida that emphasize fresh local ingredients, while kids and carnivores alike will love the schnitzel at the cozy Willy's Caballo Negro. With all the restaurants to choose from, don't forget to stop and sample a casado at a quaint roadside soda and enjoy gallo pinto for breakfast, both are simple, tasty and truly Costa Rican.
