Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
In almost every way, this indoor-outdoor bar and grill is light years ahead of the competi-
tion. The highlight of the menu is the grilled meats, which include rib eye, filet, pepper-
corn tenderloin medallions, and a porterhouse with gorgonzola sauce. If you're cutting
back on red meat, look for crab risotto, ginger-glazed grilled tuna, and chicken in coconut
curry.
The vibe is trendy and the place is hopping. Reservations recommended.
Around La Fortuna
Delicatessen
SODA
Take a break from the hustle and bustle of La Fortuna to have lunch at this friendly place,
2km west of town. It's essentially a
soda
, with big breakfasts and excellent
casados
, as
well as burritos, burgers and some very tempting desserts. Portions are big, prices are
small.
Benedictus Steakhouse
STEAKHOUSE
Turn off the highway and drive about 1km up a steep, rough dirt road to arrive at this spec-
tacularly situated steak house (tricky in the dark, so arrive before the sun goes down).
You'll be rewarded with a gorgeous view, followed by an amazing meal. In addition to the
meats, there is heavenly homemade bread, fantastic ceviche and tantalizing desserts.
The steaks come from free-range cattle that graze on grass in the pastures below the res-
taurant. They also raise lambs, chickens and pigs. Veggies come from the organic green-
house.
