WHERE TO EAT IN
COSTA RICA:
The Fish Hook Marina and Lodge, Golfito:
An absolutely charming establishment,
the sort of place that you might imagine
Ernest Hemingway lolling away an
afternoon in between fishing trips.
There’s a marina and a lodge, with
restaurant and sunset bar - and a kind
of serenity and calm that you associate
with a life from another century.
There’s also WiFi and cell phone
reception (and an incredibly
computer-savvy staff, including a
twelve-year-old computer wizboy), but
more importantly, the Fish Hook is a
kind of portal into another time, when
afternoons were meant for gazing
peacefully at the ocean - rather than at
a computer screen.

La Esquina en la playa, Manuel Antonio,
Quepos: Just off the beach, across the
street, there’s a little restaurant with
a small cat and some of the nicest
people in Costa Rica to serve you some
of the freshest, home-cooked cuisine in
Quepos. The gazpacho is delicious as are
the well-seasoned, hand-cut French fries
- and the batidos are made from tropical
fruits such as cas, a sour guava that
imparts a pale green shimmer to this
delicious, refreshing elixir. This is
the kind of place where you can easily
order another round - and do nothing
more than watch the beachgoing parade
just beyond your table. Cheap and
delicious and friendly: it’s a recipe
for a perfect afternoon.
