GASTRONOMY


Costa Ricans do not have a particular gastronomic specialty or any particular style of cuisine. Although their dishes are simple, based on fairly common ingredients, and relatively unvaried, they are delicious dishes that hold an important place in society.
The Gallo Pinto, the national dish of Costa Rica is made up of black beans and rice. This simple dish owes its name to the individual spots of color that tint the rice during cooking. This vegetarian dish will be enhanced with a touch of Lizano sauce to give it a little more spice.
Another typical dish is their ceviche, Costa Rica’s abundance of fresh seafood lends itself perfectly to this marinated fish and herb dish.




It would rather be the immigrants that have developed gastronomy in Costa Rica. In the southern part of the country, particularly in the Ojochal region, these immigrants mostly of French and Canadian nationalities have been restaurateurs for several decades. It is with their love of food and know-how that they today earn the reputation of being among the best restaurants in Costa Rica.
Despite the fact that Diquis del Sur does not offer evening catering on a daily basis, the hotel regularly organizes thematical evenings and serves meals. Maude, the hotel chef, proposes delicious cuisine in simplicity and in a convivial atmosphere.
You will fin below a list of restaurants you can find in Ojochal and its surroundings where you will find reputable cuisine.
