Can’t say enough about this hidden gem of a restaurant connected to the arty hotel, Amor de Mar. Owner, Ori goes to great lengths in order to obtain the best produce from the local organic farmers’ market for her eclectic menu which changes regularly. I’ve tried everything here (recently moved from LA) and it’s all superb, down to their salad dressings. The mango juice is particularly good. Breakfasts are also delicious and on Sundays there’s an outstanding brunch. The homemade jams and breads, including challah are insane. A truly magical place with stunning gardens and ocean views. Don’t miss it!

We went here for dinner during our one night in Ojochal on a trip to see various parts of CR. Frankly, wed driven all day and didn’t want to drive another minute, so this next-door location was perfect. This is a very welcoming place, especially for expats, who seem to congregate here. The owner is an expat and has set up games, a lounge and a great bar and restaurant in addition to having Cabinas, I believe. The staff are very friendly and attentive, and the treehouse restaurant provides a welcomed breeze after a hot day. Most surprising was the quality of the drinks and the food, which we were not expecting. If you’re in the area, stop by for a casual meal. Closed Tues-Wed but a great place.

Ballena Bistro

Ballena Bistro is located in a beautiful wooden building. Our fusion dishes are casual and creative and made with the freshest ingredients. Everything is homemade including our burger buns. We are dedicated to make your visit special.

Ballena Bistro is my favorite restaurant to visit when I am in Costa Rica. The owner, Liz is extremely hospitable and the food is amazing. When we are staying in Manuel Antonio, having lunch here is our favorite outing. The drive from Quepos is beautiful and the atmosphere at this restaurant is calm and pristine. I highly recommend the quinoa, kale dish but all of the food is delicious.Es una alegría que siempre nos visiten, muchas gracias por el review, nos veremos pronto, pura vida.

Live in the area and took my brother- in- law and sister-in-law here last week for a final treat before they headed back to cold New England. We went at sunset which was spectacular with a 360 degree view (the restaurant is in Hotel Three Sixty). The restaurant's architecture is unique and elegant. The service was perfect as was the food. Three of us had the slow cooked pork bellies which was perfectly prepared and delicious and my sister-in-law had the fish which she thought was great. There was no salad on the dinner menu but they were nice enough to prepare us all the salad from the lunch menu. We didn't order deserts as we were all full and already had pina coladas. And actually it was not as expensive as other restaurants in the area. Give yourself a treat and have a sunset dinner here.Richard B, Many thanks for the kind words and making Kua Kua a part of your family celebration. I know of no better spot to watch the sunset!

Boca Coronado

Reviewed By Sherry P

We stopped by for a cold beer and decided to order some shrimp. So fresh and tasty. The beer was ice cold and the view of the river with the guys fishing for shrimp was fun to watch. The iguana on the roof was so cute. Overall, this place was a great place to hang out for beer and snacks. I recommend Boca Coronado to anyone visiting the Ojochal area.

Restaurante Terraba

Reviewed By MGG25

We’ve eaten here dozens of times and we have never been disappointed. The dishes are always delicious, the portions are great (especially the arroz dishes), and the people who work there are lovely. We’ve eaten most of the main dishes and have never worried about gluten (we ask first if we are worried). Highly recommended!

After some of the strenuous hikes to some other waterfalls, this one was a pleasure to stroll to!! We swam in the pools under the waterfall to cool off. Then had a kicking lunch of fresh tilapia. It's very peaceful & beautiful. Not a lot people there, felt like it was our own private waterfall!

Ordered two fish sandwich plates. Unfortunately the kitchen only prepared one, but was enough for two people to share. Was delicious! Service was attentive, beautiful view, and peaceful atmosphere. A bit pricey, but worth the view.
