On the coasts, fresh seafood is preferred; while in the interior of the country, premium beef and poultry meals are on the menu. Sophisticated restaurants offer a wide choice of international cuisine and many chefs are into fusion cuisine.
Costa Rica is not a wine-producing country; this is why almost all of the offered wines are imported products at a relatively high cost for European standards. Good quality wine is provided mostly from Chile, Argentina, California, and Spain. Local beers from large breweries are characterized by European recipes, and usually a variety of international brands can be found. In recent years, craft beer breweries are flourishing and their creative bottles can be found in more and more bars.
For many visitors, an especially unforgettable treat are Costa Rica’s fresh and colourful fruit juices and smoothies. Haven’t heard yet of cas, tamarind or guanabana juice? Then come and try, you’ll be amazed!
