CULINARY EXPERIENCES

Our location is strategically positioned to offer easy access to a wide variety of excellent restaurants in nearby towns like Playa Grande, Tamarindo, and the Flamingo area.

One of the best parts of staying in our homes is being surrounded by the flavors of Costa Rica’s vibrant and diverse culinary scene. Whether you’re in the mood for an elegant private dinner, authentic local food, or an international twist, there’s something here to satisfy every palate.

Private Chef at Home

Looking to treat yourself without leaving the house? We can arrange for a local private chef to come directly to your rental and prepare a delicious four-course meal, tailored to your tastes. Perfect for celebrations, romantic evenings, or simply relaxing in luxury while someone else does the cooking  and cleaning for you.

Traditional Costa Rican Breakfast

Just minutes from our properties, you can experience an authentic Costa Rican breakfast —cooked over a wood-fired stove in a traditional countryside kitchen. It’s a simple, soulful way to start your day, made with love by locals.

Fresh Seafood by the Coast

Being close to the ocean means access to some of the freshest seafood around. Local restaurants specialize in Costa Rican coastal classics like whole fried red snapper, shrimp in garlic sauce, and refreshing ceviches made with fish or mixed seafood, citrus, and herbs.

Eat Like a Local at the “Sodas”

To expand your local experience, you can stop by a traditional “soda”—Costa Rica’s small, family-run eateries where you’ll find home-cooked meals called casados, a hearty plate of rice, beans, salad, plantains, and your choice of meat or fish. It’s affordable, flavorful, and a true taste of the pura vida lifestyle.

Global Cuisine in Nearby Towns

Want something different? The surrounding area offers a surprising variety of international dining. From Argentinian grills to Italian restaurants, Indian curries, Chinese favorites, and Japanese sushi, you’ll find diverse options just a short drive away in Tamarindo and Playa Flamingo.

Beach Picnics & Sunset Snacks

Let us help you plan a picnic on the beach, complete with charcuterie boards, fresh fruit, snacks, and your beverage of choice. Whether it’s a romantic sunset or a laid-back afternoon, it’s a relaxed and delicious way to enjoy the coastline.
