There are a handful of good hostels and lots of quality Airbnb rentals in Puerto Viejo. Rondon: This meal is so special it deserves it’s own section. Called gallo pinto, it includes red beans, coconut milk, thyme and various spices to tingle your tastebuds. But on the coast it has it’s own style and you have to give it a go. Rice and Beans: I know, I know, your already sick of hearing about how much R&B’s there are in Costa Rica. Patís: Costa Rica’s version of an empanada, these meat (or veggie) filled pastries are a great snack on the go. Made either with fish, shrimp, or lobster with the mixture of coconut milk, tomatoes, veggies, pepper, spices, sugar, oil and butter. Each place makes it different according to their own style. Salsa caribeña: This curry or stew is a very common dish up and down the Caribbean coast. The Caribbean flavors in this area mean the dishes were a little more exciting (in our opinion!) than the rest of the country. While Costa Rican cuisine isn’t one that we were entirely thrilled about, some of the best meals we had were in Puerto Viejo. The juices are delicious and good luck resisting the bake goods.Ĭomo En Mi Casa Art Cafe: Located near the beach and upstairs, this small restaurant has a large spread of sandwiches and wraps along with breakfast options.ĭreadNut Coffee: With just steps to the beach, this place opens early and has an excellent breakfast and bagel options. There are a handful of healthy and delicious cafes and restaurants to choose from:īread and Chocolate: Wonderful brunch spot in town with healthy and vegetarian options. We finally found proper salads, fresh fruit smoothies and yummy baked items. Eat healthy food at the town’s cutest cafesĪfter consuming just about as much rice and beans as our bodies could handle, we were pleasantly surprised with the food options in Puerto Viejo. Or head a bit out of town to one of the only craft breweries in the area, BriBri Springs. Looking for something more chill, but still open late? Grab a beer at Hot Rocks and listen to whoever is playing on stage. The party is in the street and it’s can be tricky to get a beer, but you could easily meet some new friends. If you want a more local vibe, but still crazy, go to Mango Sunset. Located right on the beach, the music blasts and crowds of locals and backpackers spill out onto the sand. If you’re looking for a good time, you’ll find it here.įor dancing, head to Johnny’s Place. Enjoy the Nightlifeīackpackers seem to flock to Puerto Viejo for its legendary nightlife. Well, we were so inspired by this beautiful craft that we ended up visiting a Bribri village a couple days later and bought another carving! 7. We ended up buying a dried gourd with beautiful carvings, which the woman at the desk told us is a craft made from the local indigenous tribe, the Bribri. If you want a bite to eat just walk 20 meters to the closest restaurant. Playa Puerto Viejo: Right in front of the famous Johnny’s Place is a soft sand beach for lounging all day. It’s fun to see and walk along the dark sand, but no many people relax here because it use to be close to the old port area, as you can tell by the Old Barge stuck in the water. Playa Negra: West of Puerto Viejo is a black sand beach. There are no restaurants, so be sure to bring your own snacks for a day.
