Playa Conchal Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Playa Conchal
Even the sands of Playa Conchal are special, comprised of the silky remnants of millions of crushed conch shells. Frolic, swim and snorkel in the warm, crystalline waters by day; at night, camp out on the beach under the stars. Guided rafting, adventure and nocturnal turtle-watching tours are available—and exhilarating.

This is a very nice, upscale restaurant and the wonderful staff make it even more special as they have a focus on customer appreciation that is second to none! I had the Flamingo arugula salad & grilled shrimp which was delicious and my husband had the catch of the day which was Mahi-Mahi & crisp romaine salad which he thought was very tasty! Along with drinks and the relaxed atmosphere we had a lovely time at Angelina's and will be back next time we are in here!

Great atmosphere and better food! A troubadour, Darin Talbot, was playing during dinner. Very mellow, easy listening that added to the experience. Often, dinner music is too loud and makes conversation difficult...not so with Darin. Really created a pleasant experience. Waitstaff was very friendly and the food was to die for. Similar to Anders in quality of food but much less expensive. Will go back again!

Really cute breakfast place...outdoor "Shack" on the side of the road-picnic tables, shade, intimate and clean
Owner is an expat-from Boston. Super interesting guy
Food is delicious! *One of the best breakfast joints in Playa Potrero
(also Perlas Pub does a great breakfast!)
Typical breakfast fare, eggs, pancakes etc...but all high quality ingredients and home made
GLUTEN FREE, VEGAN and VEGETARIAN!!
GF pancakes are SOOOOO good! We splurged and added chocolate chips and bananas
Coffee is serve yourself
They close around 2PM ish (2:30?)
So if you go later in the day for brunch, they don't make a new pot of coffee at 1PM since they'll be closing soon
Good stuff.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 256 reviews
Open Monday To Saturday, From 5 To 10 Pm If you crave pizza, pasta, and other Italian inspired creations while in Playa Grande, look no further than Cafe del Pueblo. From signature sauces, homemade pasta, and fresh ingredient pizza, Cafe del Pueblo will certainly satisfy you Italian cuisine hankering while in Costa Rica. Pair your pasta with the local seafood selection and you mouth will insist you ask for more. The restaurant atmosphere is small, but inviting, offering diners tables under the shade of a natural, tropical landscape.

6. Soda Y Restaurante El Estero Azul
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 130 reviews
Restaurant Estero Azul is located near Flamingo on your way to Potrero. Before you turn right at the beach at Restaurant Plemar keep on going straight all way to the back of the road (about 100m). You'll find a fisherman's house with a small eating place next to the beach. Here they'll serve you the catch of the day without paying Flamingo prices. This google search (El Estero Azul Playa Flamingo) has little information but at least lets you know it's legit. GREAT PLACE!

Estero Azul is an amazing place for a simple but delicious breakfast on the beach or for fresh shrimp and avacado salad with a cold beverage at lunch Staff is friendly and accommodating and the setting is perfecto!

This was one of my favorite dining experiences in Costa Rica. When we arrived at Fon Brasilitos we were greeted at our car and our doors were opened for us. We were escorted to our tables which were seaside. We were able to kick off our shoes and literally dig our toes in the sand while we enjoyed food and drinks with our friends.
Before enjoying the best coconut shrimp I've had in my life, we were treated to a hand washing ritual of washing hands in bowls of bougainvillea flowers. We truly were spoiled that afternoon and did not want to leave. We had a great view of the ocean.
The shrimp we ordered were huge! I can explain just how huge they were! It must have been the equivalent of a pound and a half of shrimp on my plate. It was insane. I had to get up and waddle away from the table when we were done.
I definitely would eat here again. It's a foodies paradise. They do everything they can to make you happy.

We weren't even sure it was open since we couldn't see any people from the road. Glad we ventured in! The pizzas - ham and mushroom, and 4 seasons - had really good thin crust and were tasty. Honestly some of the best thin crust I've had anywhere. Quick service and tiki bar atmosphere.

We have been to Marie's many times and tried many things on the menu and are always happy with the food and the service! It is easy walking distance from most places in Flamingo and has parking out front. The one meal we have never ate here is breakfast and next time we will have to do that as have not been disappointed with any of the other meals we have had!

If you're looking for a more commercial beach (still not crowded) but you can rent chairs and a tent/shade, Playa Flamingo is the place.
Grab a drink (in a coconut!) and some yummy fish tacos at Coco Loco! Perfect beach bar/restaurant.
