Balcony of the Sea (Balcon del Mar Montezuma)

Serves typical Costa Rican food such as casados, gallo pinto and much more. Fresh seafood on the grill, daily specials along with a variety of other foods to satisfy any taste.

We had a great dish of clams that was in a delicious sauce. The fajitas were extremely tasty and with very generous amounts of prawns. They served wine too at a reasonable price - not always the case in Montezuma.

Bar Restaurante Moctezuma

Reviewed By Alara A

We had the fish. Must say it was very dry and had no tast. Rice and vegetable uncooked. I would not recomend it. I would love to give 0 stars for that.Nice ambiente with a sea view.Service okey.HelloWe serve catch of the day fish, since we are on the beach and we buy to the local fishermen.I can´t understand what happened with your food. We are here since 1993 and I can assure you that it has not been selling bad food. Quite the opposite...Well, We hope you can give us the opportunity to demonstrate you the quality of our food, in your next visit to Montezuma.To serve you.Miguel

Soda La Naranja

Reviewed By ITGirlFC

It has been a few years since our first visit to Soda La Naranja. We stopped in for Ceviche and beers and we were not disappointed. They really do make the best ceviche around town. Enjoyed watching the chef prepare freshest ingredients - tasting as he goes to ensure the best flavours. Love the fact that it is locally owned.

Playa de los Artistas

Reviewed By BedouinFoodie

Wow I was blown away at how good the food is at this hidden gem of a beach restaurant. We went on a Saturday for lunch and it was a real treat. I’m told the food is always different depending on the market availability. This is a top place.

Sano Banano Restaurant

Located in the heart of Montezuma with a great outdoor patio. We serve vegetarian, vegan, sushi, pasta, chicken, fresh seafood and much much more...

Reviewed By DavidandKirk

Although you can eat inside, we ate in the lovely garden in the back with all the tropical birds chirping. Staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. We had dinner and breakfast there and we loved all four meals. On the Tuesday evening a small musical group set up at 7 pm and we thought it would be "noisy and loud" but it was great: a combination of classical guitar and music by very talented musicians. Would highly recommend this restaurant.Thank you so much for your visit. We love our art garden, we are happy you did too. We hope to see you again in the future.

Clandestina

A small restaurant in Montezuma, Costa Rica

Reviewed By Peterisacksen

If you’re ever close or even an hour away, go! Don’t even think about the word maybe.... just run and grab a table, watch the butterflies, have an Azul craft beer and eat. We tried about everything and the ohs and ahs at the table were everywhere. From great fish to carnitas on plantains to the piping hot chips it was all perfect.View to die for and if it’s possible, better service. Before or after take the little train to the Montezuma waterfalls and jump. This is what a vacation should be!!!! Thank you all, oh and see you tomorrow!!!!

I was not feeling well and had simple grilled fresh fish. Very good and moist. My hysband had the curry and coconut fish and fell in love with it. We were also greatly entertained by the house kitties. Just like home, I think they knew we were kitty lovers.

Soda tipica las palmeras

Reviewed By lick17

I went due to positive reviews on tripadvisor & wasn’t disappointed. We had pineapple & mint juices which were lovely, chicken & shrimp rice & 2 glasses of wine. The food was fresh & tastes great. At the end of the night, as 2 females we were worried about walking back into town in the dark as they couldn’t get us a taxi. Our waiter was so kind and walked us home when he finished his shift. What a lovely place!

Costa Coral Restaurant

Reviewed By Seaturtlewoman

This hotel/restaurant has recently been taken over by new management, and the improvements are wonderful. My husband had calamari as an appetizer and shrimp for an entrée. I asked about the spaghetti, which comes in a white sauce. I wanted a red sauce, so the chef made a nice tomato sauce. It wasn't spaghetti sauce, but it was still very good.

Tasty food prepared with local ingredients. If you don't like it, you don't pay - that's our guarantee of quality.

Reviewed By PuravidaPlaya

We turned up on spec one evening and thought maybe the restaurant was closed, as there were no other diners....next surprise, the man I addressed in my carefully-rehearsed Spanish, was definitely struggling to understand me.... of course, he is a newly-arrived Canadian! But what he lacks in knowledge of Spanish he more than compensates for with his culinary abiities. He whipped us up a fresh guacamole and delicious home-made tortilla chips to keep us busy while he prepared a variety of fish and chicken dishes for us, all equally delicious. His young son came out to socialize with us and was absolutely delightful, entertaining us and amazing with his laid-back approach to creepy crawlies and snakes etc which seem to be his main interest in Costa Rica! We had a great meal and would definitely have returned had it not been our last night in the area. Highly recommended!
