Off Beat Restaurants in Costa Rica

Costa Rica's best cuisine relies on local ingredients, and its best restaurants lie just off-the-beaten-path. This Top 10 list scratches only the surface of the country's best harder-to-find places to eat. From Pan Pay, a modest bakery cafe in Puerto Viejo de Limon, to Sofia in Monteverde Cloud Forest, Costa Rica's best eats are typically a bit away from the main road, off the beaten track, and a little harder to find. Without a doubt, the extra time to find these spots is worth the time, especially if you're a traveler who appreciates the journey as the destination.
