Rio Lounge Restaurant is located at La Fortuna, San Carlos, near the Arenal Volcano in La Catarata Rio Fortuna. With a panoramic view of the fall from our terrace and sorrounding by a green tropical forest. Our food is healty and fresh. Excelent for those

We enjoyed our lunch and smoothies at the Rio Lounge after visiting the waterfall. It is located in a nice setting and the food is good with nice service. The prices aren't inexpensive but it was comparable to other restaurants in the area. Since we didn't have a car and would have paid more for a taxi ride into La Fortuna, it definitely made sense for us to enjoy a late lunch here before heading back to our hotel.

Iâve been here a couple of times. The food is always good and priced reasonably. We like the location because it is a few minutes outside the busy and loud downtown area and has a great ambiance. It is great joy to know that you still enjoy with us we hope to have you again.Thanks for your opinion for us it is very important.

We called in here on the way back to our hotel from a hot mornings walking. We didnât speak Spanish and the staf didnât speak English but they were lovely and we got there in the end. Reasonable prices for a touristy area, superb views. I ordered a burger, something I donât usually eat (I had already had rice for breakfast), and it was clearly home made and a very tasty meal. Wished we were in the area for longer as we would have returned. It isnât flashy just friendly with good freshly cooked food.

If you are going to Sky Adventures this is your only option for a meal. The room is bright and clean with good views down the mountain. The service is good. The food is decent but more expensive than you'd pay elsewhere for better. But that's what we expected.
6. Balazo Restaurant & Bar
Balazo Restaurant & BAr is a superior restaurant in El Castillo. A local favorite. The best Cheviche, Steaks and Typical Food. You must try this place.

My fiancé and I visited Balazo and LOVED the fresh seafood and drinks! The fish is so fresh and we had a great time meeting new people. They have karaoke that many enjoyed and it was great entertainment for us!!! They are the only place that stays open after 10 pm in El Castillo. Give them a try if you are in the area!

On our way to our house up the hill from Amigos we often stop for Pollo Nachos to take with us! Delicious! We put them on a China plate and heat for a minute or so. Then sit on our patio, enjoy our view and chow down. Amigos has very good food and we often eat lunch and/ or dinner at the restaurant. It is nice to enjoy their garden that surrounds the patio and fun to watch the cars and buses ride by. In the dry season it can be a little dusty but in the wet season it can be a little noisy. Still good to go to and easy,Thank you very much for your comment we are here to serve youThanks for your visit âº

We ate twice at Phoenix during our week in El Castillo. Juan and Luisa became fast friends -- they are wonderfully welcoming and warm -- and happily accommodated our various allergens and special requests. The patio at sunset is breathtaking. Don't miss Phoenix if you're in the Arenal area!

This was a fun restaurant, providing a nice alternative to the food at Arenal Observatory Lodge where we staying, twenty minutes away.The food was delicious and portions were large. The casado meals were reasonably priced.This is not a touristy restaurant and not a touristy village. This adds to the fun. Only one of the three of us could have chicken for dinner, because they only had enough chicken left for one person!The server was very sweet and personable. She spoke Spanish (no English).

This reminded me of restaurants in the U.S. that serve California burritos. You order at the counter and pick up your food when ready. You are able to build your burrito from several different ingredients. We had dinner with friends and would like to return for lunch. Well worth a visit.

Our trip to "San Lucas Treetop Dining Experience" was nothing short of unbelievable. We had stayed at "Chira Glamping Monteverde Hotel" no more than 100 feet away from the restaurant. Our waiter, Dilan, greeted us at our door with umbrellas for both me and my wife. He escorted us to a breathtaking view over Monteverde and we began.Dilan began giving us each dish accompanied with a crash course on the history, meaning, and even the location of each local ingredient found in Costa Rica within each dish. Simply put, it was an unbelievable experience. Words do not do justice as to how delicious the meal was, and pictures do not do the presentation justice. Me and my wife spent a week and traveled over 10 hours driving to various parts of Costa Rica, and if you were to ask me the one location you should dine at to fully experience the area, it is without a doubt "San Lucas Treetop Dining Experience", and second place is not close.
