Restaurante Caribbean

4.4(503 reviews)

About

Among Costa Rica's restaurants, Restaurante Caribbean serves the food of the country's Caribbean coast, a kitchen tradition built on coconut milk, rice and beans and the spice trade that passed through the ports. The restaurant sits in Guadalupe, in the Col Florida district of San José, where the capital's neighbourhoods climb toward the surrounding hills.

Diners have carried the restaurant to 4.4 out of 5 across 503 reviews, a volume of feedback that reflects a steady local following rather than passing tourist traffic. With numbers like that, booking ahead is worth settling before you travel, since a table can be hard to hold on a busy evening. Walk-ins may still work outside peak hours, but a reservation removes the guesswork.

San José, the capital, lies within reach of the address, and the wider province holds most of the country's urban life. A casado is a set lunch of rice, beans, plantain, salad and a choice of meat or fish, and it is the everyday plate to look for.

Spanish is the official language, and a few words of it go a long way with taxi drivers and waiters. Cloud forest, rainforest and dry tropical forest all occur within a short drive of each other, so a single day can move between microclimates. Tamarindo sits among the nearby places, which matters if you plan to combine the city with a beach stay.
