Things to do in Cobano
1. Las Piedras
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 267 reviews
Reviewed By Lindunia - Midlander, UK
Rustic little ‘shack’ type restaurant. Really reasonable prices for fresh, tasty, local grub! Nothing fancy, it does what it says on the tin.
There’s a large barbecue pit where the meat is cooked, and we really enjoyed it. As per everywhere in Costa Rica (it seems), the meals are huge and we shared the ‘half chicken’ meal between two - more than enough!
The staff are super friendly and accommodating.
It’s worth a visit if you’re staying in the area for a few days and fancy a reliably good meal.

My boyfriend and I went here for dinner one evening in the midst of a downpour and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. The power went out several times throughout dinner and the food was a bit slower than normal. In response the staff made us a small appetizer and gave free drinks and were constantly bringing us candles and checking in on us. The view is incredible and looks out over all of Santa Theresa, super romantic if you are looking for a date night (there are even large couches to sit on overlooking the ocean). The fish was super tasty and the tuna amazing. Overall, this was my favorite meal in Santa Theresa on so many levels and highly recommend it.
3. Burger Rancho

We (two families of 4) visited Burger Ranchero for lunch and had a great meal. Plenty of burger options, yummy fries/rings, and cold draught beer. What more could one look for in a lunch spot!? Some members of our group ordered fish tacos and said they were good. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is b/c it sits right next to the road and there was plenty of dust kicking up. Sort of par for the course in ST in dry season, and not a reason not to go. The food is worth it!
4. The Bakery

We’ve been staying in Santa Teresa for a week and only today stopped into The Bakery for breakfast. Wow it was awesome...French Toast, Pancakes with Coconut & Fresh Fruit, a killer Breakfast Burrito, but the best was the poached eggs over a sweet potato pancake...MoreWow, we feel humble to your kind words but are very pleased as well to hear you enjoyed your visits!

Our family dined at Ylang Ylang for breakfast and dinner for 3 days while we stayed at the resort. We also enjoyed lunch and app/drinks for happy hour as well. Best food in Montezuma and perhaps best from our whole Costa Rica experience. The setting is absolutely incredible - beautiful beach nearby, shade when its hot, open air to the sky when its not. Food was delicious, healthy and fresh. Cocktails were yummy too. Plenty of options for adults and kids. Staff was also incredible - especially Patricia! Can't say enough about Ylang x2!

Made a quick stop at Ginger Cafe for lattes and breakfast sandwiches before heading out for a scuba diving trip. Adorable cafe, wonderful ambiance, delectable pastries and out-of-this-world espresso beverages. Wait staff was efficient and polite. Wish we could have lingered a bit longer on their patio...maybe next time!

Slightly difficult to find but definitely worth it. Loads of gluten free options: I tasted the pancakes with almonds, honey and fruit and they were super good. The smoothies as well are incredible. Highly recommended for a post early morning surf session. 3 mins up the street in front of Selina Hostel. Credit card accepted
8. Chicken Joe's

Relaxed beach food restaurant serving rotisserie chicken ,tacos ,ceviche and other items with a Peruvian flare .
Reviewed By Mcfille
First I was surprised by the prices, according to TripAdvisor it's a "cheap" restaurant but the prices started at around 5000 colones, same prices as most restaurants in Santa Maria. However when we got the 1/4 chicken with sides we ordered we were pleasantly surprised by the size of the portion and especially the taste, very good chicken and also the sauce! I can really recommend it but I wouldn't call it cheap, rather moderate.

I have eaten here a number of times and always enjoyed the food. Their falafel is great, so is the schnitzel. The Seating arrangement has been changed since I visited last year and is actually more comfortable and looks nicer. Service is good and friendly.
