Friend's
About
Friend's serves Costa Rica from C. 68A in San José, Nunciatura. That puts it in the capital's Nunciatura district, within the Central Valley, and it holds a 4.6 out of 5 average across 52 reviews, a score that indicates a settled and satisfied clientele.
The venue's standing rests on that rating and the volume of reviews behind it rather than on any single feature. San José is the country's main urban centre, and the Nunciatura area sits within the city, making the venue reachable from the capital and, by extension, from the resorts and towns that draw visitors. Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde all lie within the country, each connected to the Central Valley by road or domestic flight, so a visit to San José can be combined with time on the coast or in the mountains.
Altitude shapes Costa Rica's weather, and the Central Valley and mountain towns are cooler than the coasts, which is worth knowing when packing for San José. A casado, the set lunch of rice, beans, plantain, salad and a choice of meat or fish, is a straightforward way to eat well during a day in the city.
Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican Spanish is known for its use of vos and the phrase pura vida, which visitors will hear often. Sloths, howler monkeys and scarlet macaws are common in Costa Rican forests and along the coasts, adding to the country's natural character for anyone travelling beyond the capital.
