Where To Eat - Tamarindo
What is a vacation without delicious places to indulge in? Trust me when I tell you it's good - this girl loves to eat and have tried almost everything! :)
If you're craving some steak - this is definitely a go-to just down the street from the condo. Top 3 things I recommend:
1. Skirt Steak with their Patagonia Papas
2. Rib Eye (Malbec or Peppercorn)
3. Sangria (White or Red)
The chimichurri they serve with their handmade bread is also something not to just skip over!

Hungry for Breakfast?
There's not really anything on this menu that I have had any negative comments about - you can close your eyes and pick something - it is all made in-house and is super delicious and don't judge the size, they are FILLING!!
Top 3 Recommended Items:
1. The Big Bang!
2. Tico (gallo pinto - one of the best)
3. La Bomba (chocolate coffee smoothie to die for)
** SUPER KID FRIENDLY with a mini playground indoors for the kids while you enjoy your meal!

Romantic, cute little spot on the estuary - perfect for a couple or a nice dinner with friends/family. A little on the higher end but the atmosphere/setting is beautiful overlooking the beach of Tamarindo.
My most favorite go-to dish here is the Grilled Octopus - it is to die for, but it is also nice to come here on your last night of your vacation and leave with a bang!
Top 3 Recommendations:
1. Grilled Octopus
2. Volcanic Rocks

One of my go-to Breakfast Locations!
Located right on the beach, you can have breakfast and lunch while watching the waves or people walking by and surfing! Their menu is delicious but the ambience is on-point.

If you have a car, I would highly recommend driving out to Brasilito to PATAGONIA DEL MAR. Recently opened in 2019, this is the seafood branch of the steakhouse in Tamarindo and their options are endless and delicious!!
They specialize in seafood plates but they also have their steak menu over there as well for those meat eaters travelling with pescatarians!
My TOP PICKS here:
1. Almond Custed Salmon
2. Mahi-Mahi in Shrimp Sauce
3. The BURGER (best burger hands-down!)

Saturday Mornings at the Skatepark (7am - 1pm)
If you're in town for longer than a week - this is definitely the place to go for fresh organic produce and all kinds of hand-crafted items from jewelry to kombucha, empanadas, local food and more! It gets crowded so get there early and get your fresh produce!
I also highly recommend the Pineapple Man at the far end of the market who has a red truck. He sells eggs, honey, and a variety of fruits but mostly pineapples are his thing and are always top-notch when I ask for a pineapple to be ready in 1 day, 2 days, a week ... etc he picks the perfect one for you!
