Find out what Cafe restaurants to try in Montezuma. North of Cabo Blanco Absolute Nature Preserve and south of Tambor Bay, along a forested sandy bay, Montezuma has numerous beaches, waterfalls, good fishing, seafood, surfing, snorkeling, horseback riding, hiking, and bicycling. Playa Las Manchas is popular for snorkeling, though you need to be mindful of riptides as you gaze at the parrotfish, rays, puffers, and needlefish. The kids will like exploring the colorful rocks and tide pools at Playa Rocas. Beachfront cantinas, bars, and restaurants are plentiful in Montezuma. Playa de los Artistas on the Montezuma beachfront serves sushi, pizza, and vegetarian dishes by lantern light at driftwood tables on smooth sand floors beneath bamboo lattice ceilings. Playa Montezuma hosts the fishing fleet. Hike half an hour to the endless sands of Playa Grande to swim, surf, boogie board, or sunbathe nude where the waves are big and the currents less strong. Horseback ride, bike, or hike the beachfront path north towards Playa Cocolito, where El Chorro waterfall tumbles into the rocky ocean. Follow the river upstream from the beach to find more waterfalls for swimming. Playa Los Cedros, a small scenic beach flanked by a waterfall and large banyan tree near Cabuya, has a right-handed point break favored by experienced surfers when the south swells get going good. The beaches and tropical forests at the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula in Cabo Blanco Absolute Nature Preserve are protected as a national park. Surf at nearby Mal Pais, Playa Santa Teresa, or Playa Carmen. Surf camps can teach you the basics.

2. Indigena Cafe
Reviewed By Stina K
Indigena Cafe is a beautiful fusion of café and garden, where you are treated to tasty, homemade wonders of things. We tried the delicious smoothies (you can create your own version or ask for good combinations) and a heavenly crumble pie made with banana and passionfruit. The owner is super friendly, generous and passionate about working with nature - not only in his kitchen, but throughout the entire project behind the café. He took his time to walk us around the beautiful gardens and explained the purpose of each plant, flower and fruit. There is so much intention and soul in this project, you can really feel all the good energy put into it. Thanks for receiving us like guests and treating us like friends, this was a truly great experience!Thanks so much for the review!!! That was our pleasure to have you here!! I'm glad that you like the smoothie and the Crumble Pie.... and was a big pleasure to show you around, nature is Amazing and with people like you, it's very good to share the little bit i know!!Thanks again for taking the time and write down those very generous words.

3. Ash Sushi Restaurant & Cafe
Reviewed By 521MichaelS
When we travel for fun, we look for off-the-beaten-path kinds of places. So when friends told us about ASH Sushi about 2km away from Montezuma Beach, we were both intrigued and skeptical. We don't associate the fine culinary artistry of Japanese cuisine with remote villages in Costa Rica. But nothing ventured was nothing gained, so we hopped on an ATV and took off in search of ASH. It wasn't easy to find, but the effort was worth it. There are a few modest signs that lead to this cafe. It almost felt as if we were on a scavenger hunt. So, you've got to work for it. Ultimately, you'll come across a modest house with a patio full of handcrafted wooden tables. And then the fun begins. We ordered a crab handroll, a traditional maguro sushi roll, some miso soup (a surefire way of judging the chef's craft) and tempura onion rings. All of the dishes knocked our proverbial socks off. This kitchen knew what it was doing. The fish was fresh, the soup was subtle and delicious, the sushi rice was perfectly cooked and the presentation would make the best Japanese sushi chefs a bit jealous. We ordered wine, rather than sake.....that may have been a mistake. The wine tasted like Chilean plonk. But that was the only dischordant note of an otherwise brilliant meal. The restaurant is the brainchild of two local Costa Ricans who know the restaurant business and aspired to create something different. They succeeded. The restaurant had apparently opened just a few weeks earlier, so we are essentially experiencing the soft opening. But during our lunch. a number of other guests showed up, so the word is spreading. If you find yourself in the southern Nicoya Peninsula and you have a yen for fresh, well-prepared Japanese food, this place shouldn't be missed. The prices are reasonable, the food is delicious and, best of all, you will have experienced one of those legendary overlook gems that many in the culinary world aspire to find. Great Japanese food where you'd never expect it. It's worth the effort.
