Pura Vida View
Cafe Milagro
Café, Restaurante, Bar
This is one of our favorite spots for breakfast, we often dine her multiple times when visiting Manuel Antonio. They have two locations, the original is located in Quepos where they roast coffee daily, its a small but busy coffee shop. The El Patio De Café Milagro is in Manuel Antonio where they serve Breakfast Lunch and Dinner.
Another one of our favorite restaurants, Emilio's recently underwent a big renovation and expanded and updated their space, but they are still offering the same great food, decadent desserts and delicious beverages. They make their pastries and breads in house We typically go there for Breakfast, but they serve B, L, D daily except they are closed on Tuesdays. They have a great view and sometimes live music. Definitely give them a try
Marlin is located across from the beach in Quepos near the National Park, it is owned by our good friend and one of our favorite spots to go when we are at the beach. You will find the freshest seafood as Merlin, the owner, also owns a fishing company and has the best available fish on his menu at all times. There is something for everyone at Marlin's and the drinks are delicious!
I love the Margaritas!
Gourmet Italian Restaurant
Victoria's is an authentic Italian Restaurant in Manuel Antonio. The pizza from their pizza oven is the best around we often get it to go, but we also love to dine in and enjoy their extensive menu featuring gourmet pastas, seafood, steaks and more. This has become one of our favorite spots when we are in town.
Baldi's Fresh is located across from the beach, they offer fresh food and a full menu of tropical smoothies and fresh made beverages. Their margaritas will knock you down, but they are so good! The place is often filled with people coming right off the beach, it's a relaxed fun environment with a friendly familiar staff.
These stairs are where my husband proposed after we had dinner at Gabriella's
​
This world class marina is a beautiful place to visit. This is where you will depart on any ocean excursions you might take while in Quepos. The commercial plaza above the marina offers some great dining and shopping options. From upscale to casual, you will find something here that you like. After a day of fishing we like to stop by the Runaway Grill and enjoy the spectacular sunsets or for a fine dining experience we love Gabriella's which is just upstairs from the grill. There are several restaurants to choose from, all with their own special vibe. After dinner be sure to stop by for some Italian Gelato at Amorosi.

Steak . Seafood . Pasta
Gabriella's has spectacular views of the marina and sunset, they offer an upscale decadent menu featuring fresh seafood, pastas and mouthwatering steaks. The atmosphere is intimate, the staff is friendly and the food is always delicious. This is a great restaurant for celebrating any occasion or just enjoying a nice dinner. I don't think we've been to Quepos without visiting Gabriella's at least once.
Located just above the marina, Runaway grill is the perfect place to stop after a day on the water. And if you go fishing and have a great catch, they will cook it just the way you like it. They have a causal yet extensive menu with something for everyone. The view of the sunset is spectacular and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner daily
They are known for their spectacular sunsets and they get very busy for this reason.
If you want something fun, order the flaming dessert and get ready for a fun show for the entire restaurant!
