Where to Eat in Puerto Jimenez: The Best Restaurants and Bars
For eco-tourists who crave adventure there are few places better than Parque Nacional Corcovado, a biodiverse smorgasbord of tropical rainforest, coastline and wildlife. Puerto Jimenez is a great base for those who wish to explore the park via one of several local touring companies, but it’s also got its own thing going on, including an impressive wildlife sanctuary, some lovely restaurants and an excellent local crafts shop.

Great pizza, huge salads, and super friendly staff. This worked for us! The entire meal was explained to us in English by the super friendly host/owners partner. Everything was delicious. Doesn’t open until 4:30 pm.
3. Il Giardino

Located on the Ocean drive Beach, we have some tables just on the water, for a scenic sunset dinner with candlelight and Soft Eclectic Music. it is more than 14 years that Il GIardino is rising the bar of the quality of Food, Service and Ambient, establishing the comparative mark for local and not local restaurant. This Year we started serving, first in town ever, GRILLED WHOLE FISH AND ITALIAN STYLE " FIORENTINA " STEAK, obtaining great appreciation from our Guests. We try to use, the most is possible, local products for our plates, and we, as always, produce our homemade Pasta and Bread, being, again, the only one in this. We utilize only Local Farmer Meat, that we season following the Old Italian Tradition from Toscana and Piemonte, and we prepare it on the Grill, just in front of our Guests. Our BANANA-BOMBA dessert is an unique creation of us, and somebody says that "...it is the Tiramisu' of future!!" The Fresh Fruit drinks we prepare and the Cocktails are always made with fresh fruit and no prefabricated mix are involved in them. We are the Culinary experience you are looking for in the OSA!!

The food is really good here and quite authentic. I had the meat lasagna. The bruschetta was DELICIOUS! Very nice atmosphere. You can dine inside or out, right along the Golfe Dulce. Nice place for a quiet meal...a little nicer than most of the restaurants in Puerto Jimenez.

The Pearl is located on the Osa’s most beautiful beach, next to Iguana Lodge. Offering gorgeous ocean views and fresh drinks, the Pearl provides excellent fresh eclectic lunches and dinners to the public, such as Gloria's Burrito, Fish Tacos, and Avocado Orange Salad. The Pearl also hosts a Tuesday Night Beach BBQ and our famous Friday Night Pasta where Costa Rican locals and visitors come from far and wide to dance the salsa.

Maybe we got the wrong thing? Fish tacos.....how can you make those bad here?
Anyway, the drinks were awesome. Service was great. Food was only so so....
Bratty American kids playing in the front area near the nice lounge area disrupting our tranquility. Parents were not really controlling them so well.
Go for the drinks!

Best Ceviche of a month's stay in Costa Rica. The mixed seafood soup (with milk) was delightful and came with a side dish of rice, lots of prawns,crabs and fish in this dish. Other diners had substantial plates of food delivered. Only wished we had more time in town for a return visit. If you want to dine at lunchtime check if there is a cruise ship in the harbour as the restaurant is very busy then

I had a yummy smoothie and a rice. bean, and diced ham bowl with tortilla chips - I wish I could remember what it was called. For a quick, delicious, and nutritious lunch, with Wifi at a reasonable prce... Cafe Monka provides!

Can't go wrong with any choice you make here. I wish I had bought more! Staff was friendly and you could tell they were happy to share their work. The sweet bread roll was a true delight. Thank you so much Panaderia.

The beef is all natural, local grass fed, very tender and smooth. Try it in a stir fry, Chinese style as the owners are from southern China. They speak Spanish, a little English, mandarin, and Cantonese.
The portions are very generous and the menu amazingly varied with Chinese dishes, tico dishes, and even American food. The beef with onions was excellent. They will also go off menu at the blink of an eye whether for food or for a different type of drink.
Prices are very good and a bit below the area average. Located in mid town about a block from the police station.
10. La Vera Pizza Restaurante

Reviewed By hungaro007 - Sao Paulo, SP
I had pizza of this place for 2 nights in a row, and no regrets!
I was looking for non typical food, something easy and to take away. PIZZA!!
I had the margarita and caprese. The best one was the caprese!
Great topping, thin crust and golden toasted cheese on top.
The price is around 8-10US$ and it's like a medium size to me, it has 8 slices but is not as big as regular large one.
You can share with another mate, although I had one only to myself.
The last point is that it belongs to a local, so extra point!!
