Owing to the great number of expats and tourists visiting Costa Rica every year, it became possible to have restaurants that represent cuisines from all over the world. Unlike in other countries, where what you will find are mostly local restaurants that cater exclusively to local taste, there is definitely a Costa Rica restaurant that will satisfy your preferences.
Depending on where you are based, you can eat out a variety of restaurants. For example, the Sanchiri Mirador and Lodge Restaurant gives you 100% organic, healthy food once you visit the Orosi Valley. At a fraction of the price you would pay in the US, here in Sanchiri, you can get your daily diet of organic dishes. A view of the Orosi Valley just beside the restaurant is also a plus factor why you should go here.
In the meanwhile, if you are in San Jose and you feel like eating Italian food, then Bacchus is the best place for you. It's a mix of history and good food, as the restaurant itself is set in a historic adobe home that dates back to the previous centuries. The best places are always near the open-kitchen area, where you can get to see the restaurant chefs in culinary action.
Finally, there's also Ginger, which can be found in Guanacaste. This is not your usual oriental restaurant, as it fuses traditional and Pan-Asian tapa, plus creative cocktails that will surely have you craving for more. The house specialty are those ginger-glazed chicken wings. Eat it while having your shot of vodka. Enjoy!
Those are just some of the most popular dining hangouts all over Costa Rica. They are famous, no doubt, but that does not mean what isn't famous is not good. In fact, the rest of Costa Rica's best dining options may just be that anonymos restaurant around the corner. Do tell us if you happen to know one of these hidden dining gems.
