Alma De Cafe — Restaurant in Catedral

Some of best food in I've had in CR so far! And the atmosphere was amazing, the national theater is incredible. The mocha amaretto was absolutely delicious and the coconut/pineapple smoothie was super tasty. Highly recommend the peppermint lemonade as well. The pour over coffee is just okay but still tasty. The food was also amazing. The salad dressing was a delicious avocado or cilantro ranch that I want a bottle of. Chicken salad was fresh and full of vegetable for a tasty gluten free lunch. My son gobbled up the beef lasagna and daughter enjoyed the veggie sandwich. With a coffee menu that was 4 pages long I can't wait to go back and try other drinks both hot and cold. Alcoholic coffee drinks as well as Wine and beer also available. Savory crepes, salads, sandwiches, quiche, soup, and baker items like banana bread and cheesecake available. Everything looks so tasty we will definitely be going...

I had high hopes for this place. Let's start with service, which is really slow. I got food menu after about 15 minutes of sitting there. Everything took really long to get. I had to ask for the bill 2-3x. I had smoked trout salad. I would call it deconstructed, because there were piles of vegetables like cucumber and beatrut and tomato slices, without any sauce or anything. I had to put oil, vinegar on it and mix it my self. Its a very popular cafe, with tons of tourists, so the ambience is exactly like that - like a train station. The ceiling is nice, but that's about it. Don't bother...

Beautiful cafe in the National Theatre. Even if you don't go for a show, you can enjoy the artistic cafe with a classy vibe. The iced latte came in a blended form like frappucino. It is delicious particularly in a tropical weather. The waiter recommended the carrot cake for me and I am not disappointed. This carrot cake delivers dense and rich content of carrot, raisins and such. The amount of cream cheese is also just right. Highly recommended! Note though that there is no restroom unless you take a tour for the theatre. You can use the restroom in front of the pre-Columbian Gold...
