Restaurante Ton Hoi

Reviewed By Deweyboy - Bernalillo NM

There are lots of Chinese restaurants all around Costa Rica but this one is definitely worth seeking out if you are tired of gallo pinto,mystery meats, rice and fried plantains. This place has an atmosphere suitable for a business luncheon, quiet and tasteful, with a varied and tasty menu. Chef Javier Wong Cheng uses authentic Chinese ingredients that he buys at the Chinese market in San Jose, keeping to the traditions of his culture, rather than creating a boring hybrid as so often happens with ethnic restaurants far from their native soil. The Chinese came to Costa Rica to build the east-west railroad, which is why you'll find them scattered across this nation.

Restaurante La Casona Del Cafetal

Reviewed By WannaBeObjective - Switzerland

We were on a day tour with other tourists (about 16 people), and our tour operator had taken us for lunch at this establishment. It is indeed situated with a beautiful scenic breathtaking views.
It was however unfortunate that our dining experience didn’t match whatsoever with the views. We understand that we’re a big group to feed, but we ALL had to eat Casados and the chosen meat/fish option were taken a couple of hours prior to our arrival. The beef was the most tasteless we’ve had in Costa Rica, and so far the hardest/rubbery. The side dishes, dessert and juice were ok, but nothing to compliment on — we were all simply very hungry... Waiters were doing their job, but one felt unwelcomed, as if we were bothering them, despite our multiple gratitude for serving us.
We had a great day tour, and dining in this restaurant was the only negative bit. Perhaps it’s not a place for feeding tour groups?

Mi Tierra

Reviewed By realbigbear - Great Falls, Virginia

We visited this restaurant after visiting Irazu Volcano. The restaurant was simple, but the local Costa Ricann food was excellent. We were part of a tour group, and all of our members raved about the food. The location lacks ambiance (a modified strip mall), but with food this good "who cares."

I stayed in Orosi for 2 weeks and visited Franzisca at her at her store more than a couple times. Breakfast and coffee was great. I also rented a bike for a ride to Tapanti for a day from her.
She is real friendly and speaks several languages, if that's a hesitation to visit.
Thanks! Hope to visit again soon.

A great facility for a lunch stop! We had a fabulous dinner here, the place was well kept and clean. We stumbled across this place while looking for something to eat after a day at Tapanti National Park. Our meal was fantastic, and plentiful for the price. We saw some birds on site. I would recommend this place.

I really liked the food, ideal for a business lunch or a family lunch, the food we ate was very tasty. The menu is very complete and a little expensive, maybe not to go everyday but for a special ocassion is great.

Bar y Restaurante Coto

Reviewed By Ed L - Guildford, England, United Kingdom

We all had chicken with rice - arroz con pollo. It was salty beyond belief, and had poor quality chicken.
The service was fairly slow from the one waiter, and my wife ordered a cocktail, which took an absolute age to arrive.
There's much better around, and I'm not sure why our lodge recommend it. All the other diners in there were from our hotel.

A Tico friend took us here for dinner after a long day out.
Their menu is very rich in options and easily accomodated for our vegetarian needs.
The food was prepared and delivered very fast (although there were several other customers), and with a smile on the waitress´s face.
The food tasted great, and was very fairly priced.
The place has a very rustic and pleasant design & atmosphere to it.
Really worth checking out if you are in the area.
