Orgánico
When they say ‘pure food made with love,’ they mean it – this healthy cafe turns out nine vegetarian or vegan dishes including spicy Thai burgers, a sopa azteca with tofu, burritos, falafel, smoothies and other meat-free treats you can feel good about. But they do meat dishes, like spaghetti Bolognese, too. Whaddaya want? They're Italian. They have live music almost nightly, including an open mic on Monday nights.

A very cute new cafe with one long, built-in, wrap-around booth. It's Italian owned, and she does meatball subs and plates, chicken Milanese, chicken parmigiana, and assorted salads and fish tacos.

Puggo’s
A locally beloved restaurant decorated like a Bedouin tent that specializes in Middle Eastern cuisine including falafel, hummus, kebabs, and aromatic fish, which they dress in imported spices and herbs and roast whole. Cap it off with a strong cup of Turkish coffee.

Playa de los Artistas
This artfully decorated beachside spot is the most adored and romantic restaurant in town and one of the very best on the peninsula. The international menu with heavy Mediterranean influences changes daily depending on locally available ingredients, though you can always count on fresh seafood roasted in the wood oven and presented impeccably. We had a superb oven-roasted tuna shank smothered in olive oil, diced tomatoes and onions that was pink in the middle and perfectly crisp at the skin. Pair it with something fine from their wine list or choose among half-dozen international beers on offer.

El Sano Banano
This restaurant is way overpriced for simple dishes – 12 bucks for a casado? But it’s worth showing up in the evening when the restaurant shows nightly films for ₡3000 minimum consumption.

Cocolores
One of the best restaurants in Montezuma, beachside Cocolores has a pleasant, thatched-roof patio for candlelit dinners. The menu focuses on Tico–Mediterranean fusion. The curry and coconut shrimp with spicy mango chutney is divine as are the mahi mahi fajitas and their five flavors of spaghetti. Prices aren't cheap but portions are ample. Don't miss it.
