The best restaurants Central Valley

The owners of the French pastry Pâtisserie of San José set up this restaurant opened in 2002. French family cooking.

Tica and Mexican cuisine, welcome. TV and billiard tables.

The name recalls the terrible earthquake at the beginning of the last century that still marks the city. And to make it better, the restaurant is decorated in the style of the time (furniture, furniture, covered…) and presents a hundred photos of the disaster. Traditional cuisine and view of the Orosí valley.

In the center of Alajuela, the market is the most important in the city. You will find all kinds of shops. The place is very clean and the atmosphere is friendly. In this traditional market you will find the best snacks at low prices, and above all, you will be able to taste the best of the traditional cuisine. If you want to cook, it will also be an opportunity to buy local fruits and vegetables, of quality, and at very good prices. An interesting stop for a typical experience.

The restaurant of the eponymous hotel is pleasant for a dinner outside the city, and in edge of lake, a few kilometers of Turrialba. We take advantage of the site on the occasion of a meal in a felted frame in room, bright around the swimming pool. The dishes are correct, with efforts of presentation, the service is with the cord and the list of the wines fleshed out. Typical soups, grilled meats, jumbo shrimps with passion fruit, sea bream with lemon or lobster with saffron, enough to satisfy all gourmets. A good option.

The address not to be missed during your stay in Alajuela! This pesqueria offers high quality cuisine. The service is warm and attentive. Covered but completely open to the outside, the room is nicely decorated with natural materials. The menu is extremely well stocked with many fish dishes, sourced from the small fishermen of Puntarenas, but also some meat dishes for the die-hards! The flavors are exceptional and the plates very well prepared. Gluten-free and vegan options
