Bob here to paddle you through one of my absolute favourite places to chow down—Los Congos, near Orotina, Costa Rica!
This charming little gem is a must-stop if you’re cruising along the Pacific Coast and swinging by hotspots like Jaco or Manuel Antonio!
As I waddled up to Los Congos, I couldn’t help but admire the enchanting carvings that adorned the entrance—talk about eye candy!
Colourful wildlife and even an anatomically correct howler monkey greeted me.
Walking into Los Congos was like being wrapped in a big, cozy hug!
The rustic wooden decor and open-air seating created a warm and lively vibe.
Plus, the gentle trickle of water from a nearby fountain gave the whole place a downright soothing soundtrack.
This is a haven for locals and travellers looking to enjoy scrumptious grub and good company.
Let’s talk about the staff—my quack, they were terrific!
They treated me like royalty from the moment I splashed through the door!
Their genuine smiles and enthusiastic service made me feel like a superstar.
They were eager to share their recommendations and made me feel like I was in the hands of culinary wizards!
Since I arrived bright and early, breakfast was calling my name!
One of my humans dove into a traditional Costa Rican omelet. It was pure magical deliciousness!
Each bite had his taste buds singing with joy!
With a satisfied belly, he was already daydreaming about my next visit to explore their lunch menu.
And, oh boy, did he return! A few days later, we flapped from Playa Bendera for a late lunch with my beak practically watering!
The star of the show? A whole fried fish dinner that was out of this world!
The fresh catch was perfectly seasoned. In addition, it was served with giant prawns, crispy fries, and farm-fresh veggies. The flaky, tender fish melted in my beak like a dream!
But wait! I couldn’t paddle away without indulging in their steak dinner. What a treat for my taste buds!
The steak was expertly grilled with a beautiful char on the outside and oh-so-tender on the inside. It was a culinary masterpiece, paired with those giant prawns, roasted veggies, and a scrumptious chimichurri sauce. Each bite made me feel like the luckiest little rubber duck in the universe!
As I floated away from Los Congos, my heart and belly were brimming with joy—the inviting ambiance, friendly staff, and mouthwatering food made for an unforgettable experience.
Whether you’re a local or passing through Orotina, you must make a splash at Los Congos!
Pura Vida!
NEVER MISS A
