Restaurant La Cocina — Restaurant in Quepos

Interesting little place with delicious food. Cons: Since the restaurant serves as the main restaurant for the hostel next door, there will sometimes be a wait for your food. The restaurant area is fairly small so it might be a tight fit if you have a big group. Lastly, the neighborhood isn't exactly pristine at night so car travel is likely necessary to reach the spot.

For being in the Manuel Antonio area, it is not badly priced although a bit pricier than a regular...

The best resturant in Quepos. In four days we ate 3 meals here (two lunches and a breakfast) and really loved it. The food is excellent typical Costa Rican fair (Gallo Pinto, rice, beans, fresh chicken, plantains) but the real standout is the juices and milkshakes. Breakfast is a mix of traditional and American so there's pancakes and avocado toast on the menu. The Place is small so probably not great for large groups but perfect for two people to relax for a while. Plus the coffee is not only pretty good but it's also cheap and they'll even make it cold with a scoop of ice cream if you're into that...
