Meilleurs Restaurants à Tamarindo – Mise à Jour 2024 - Eatagram

Tasting Tropical Wonders Of Tamarindo

Can you imagine a better vacation than a culinary retreat on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica? Eatagram invites you to explore the gastro culture of this tropical town.

Tamarindo beckons travelers with its pristine sandy beaches, gorgeous ocean views and  unique authentic food and drinks. Local restaurants benefit from the city’s location and offer awesome al fresco dining opportunities.

So, what specialties should you try first as you set foot in Tamarindo?

As the Pacific Ocean provides the country with an abundance of fresh fish and shellfish, seafood is a staple of the local cuisine. Be sure to taste ceviche. This appetizer originates in Peru, but is very popular here, in Costa Rica. Fresh raw fish is diced, marinated in lime juice for quick fermentation, and then mixed with ricotta cheese and peppers. It tastes refreshing  and pairs well with the popular beers or freshly squeezed fruit juices. And don’t miss out trying the iconic arroz con camarones, yellow rice with shrimp and spices.

If you’re seeking more culinary authenticity, try gallo pinto. Actually, it’s just a flavorful mix of black beans and rice, but it’s delicious and substantial. Local eateries serve gallo pinto with scrambled eggs, sour cream, and Turrialba cheese. Really worth trying!

When it comes to desserts, we absolutely recommend that you treat yourself to a slice of tres leches cake with whipped cream and  some fruit on top. The traditional Costa Rican ice cream Helado de sorbetera with fresh tropical fruits is our favorite.

So, come to Tamarindo and enjoy life to the fullest!
