Without a doubt the best pizza I have had so far in Costa Rica (and Iโve tried many). Iโm not easily impressed and am picky when it comes to food but Sardi really is worth driving to Heredia. Prices are affordable and customer service is great as wel...
Sardi Trattoria & Pizzeria Italiana
ย
Amazing customer service, DELICIOUS food and my favorite tacos in all Costa Rica. Ther coconut pudding is also a chefโs kiss.
La Casona del Pollo
ย
I added this one to my favorites despite their terrible customer service and long waiting times. That is only because the pizzas are delicious. If you like a thin pizza this is the place to go but be prepared to wait. My favorite from their list is P...
La Fabbrica Pizzeria
ย
Delicious food and cakes ๐ I tried their signature tres leches cake with strawberries (torta Marnaโs) and even though theyโre quite pricey, Iโd say it was worth it. The cake piece was also huge! Their customer service is also worth a praise!
Marna's Cafe (@marnascafe_cr)
ย
This is a little more expensive place for ice cream but their gelatos are SUPER creamy and rich! So many options too and theyโre mostly not your typical flavors! The downside is that the scoop is rather small but honestly considering the richness, it...
Gelateria Da Noi
ย
Excellent service, best burgers Iโve had in Costa Rica so far. Reminded me of the burgers I had in the US like 15 years ago. Their mozzarella sticks are big and theyโre delicious. No exaggeration when I say they were the best ones Iโve had in my enti...
Chili's
ย
I tried their gelato style ice cream in Multiplaza Escazรบ and it was great. I prefer this over the common brands like Pops or Dos Pinos.
Cosual Fruit
ย
Now this oneโs elite. Artesanal homemade-style ice cream that doesnโt disappoint. I chose vanilla and orange and thought it was the perfect combo. The vanilla is not your typical vanilla. It reminded me of this finnish dessert called โmaissikiisseliโ...
Sabores Quincho
ย
So this is so far I think the very best restaurant Iโve been to. Not even kidding like the place itself is so aesthetic with the ocean view, the service is excellent (the male waiter especially provided amazing service), offering the best spot for us...
GigiO Restaurant Puerto Viejo
ย
Such a cute little cafรฉ with a really nice breakfast selection in case you want to have good breakfast, brunch or afternoon coffee. We went to have breakfast there after a night at a camping site and I ordered caribbean pancakes. Delicious. They were...
Bread & Chocolate
ย
If you want great tasting caribbean food, Iโd recommend this place. Everyone talks about La Nena but I liked Terramar better. I had red snapper in coconut-curry sauce and honestly wondered how well they pair together being used to pair curry only wit...
This is a restaurant near the Volcano park Poรกs and even though the place was packed with people and we had to wait for our food for quite some time because of that, the service was great and so was the food. They brought us popcorn together with our...
Bar Restaurant Lo Que Tu Quieras | Alajuela - Facebook
ย
One of the top choices for sushi in my opinion! Prices are maybe a bit on the higher side for sushi, but the food is great! This time I ordered takeaway through Uber Eats and the dish is called Manhattan Roll. It comes with 10 large sushi rolls with ...
Mr. Sushi โข Alajuela
ย
This is my second sushi recommendation. Again on the pricier side, but well worth it. I personally canโt do spicy so I picked Kaminari and it was delicious. Tempura fried sushi with salmon, shiitake mushroom, shichimi togarashi (that I was worried wo...
Matsuri - Plaza Real
ย
Iโd say if you want great US style burgers this is one of the best options despite the name ๐ The burgers are amazing, their fries arenโt my favorite but thatโs besides the point ๐ prices are affordable/mid range and they have variety in the menรบ. ...
