With dozens of restaurants to choose from, the foodies in your group will be very happy campers during your stay in the Mal Pais and Santa Teresa area.
Florblanca’s restaurant, Nectar, extends its casual elegance to guests and locals alike. The bar serves custom and traditional cocktails for sundowners. At the same time, the kitchen presents a fusion cuisine of Latin, Mediterranean, and Asian.
The Bakery Restaurant is a must for locals and celebs alike. Touted as serving the best breakfast in Santa Teresa, The Bakery offers such delights as its amazing fruit salad and lemon mint refresca, as well as delicious pastries.
The setting at Pranamar’s Kavita Restaurant is one of spacious ceilings overlooking the serene lagoon pool for a fine dining experience of unforgettable quality. With a focus on local, fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, and seafood gourmands will enjoy the enticing menu that caters to the senses.
Café Social gets high marks from diners for breakfast but also serves lunch.
Well-known in Santa Teresa, La Cevicheria, of course, specializes in ceviches and patacones (fried plantain) in an atmosphere that is pure Santa Teresa. Vegan and vegetarian options are also on the menu.
Using the freshest food direct from its organic farm, Mary’s Restaurant has become a MalpaÃs tradition. Vegetarians and vegans are welcome.
Brisas del Mar in MalpaÃs prepares locally-sourced food to conjure up its traditional Costa Rican dishes cooked over an open fire. Bold flavors and a passion for food inform the kitchen’s efforts in turning out culinary wonders.
Zula Restaurant is closer to the Santa Teresa end of town and serves phenomenal Israeli cuisine. The shakshuka, Northern African and Middle Eastern breakfast dish of tomatoes, onions, and poached eggs, is to die for and a must for Sunday morning brunch after a night out on the town; try it with one of Zula’s amazing, giant smoothies; we love the watermelon for a hydrating thirst-quenching treat.
