La Libertad -- Note that La Libertad is currently revamping its Malecón (seafront) with a strip of new restaurants that should raise the bar in dining options in the near future. Reservations are not required unless noted.
Playa Tunco -- On the beach at the end of Tunco's main street are two nearly identical restaurants, Restaurante Erika (tel. 503/2389-6054) and La Bocana Restaurante (tel. 503/2389-6238). It's easy to confuse the two, as both offer similar two-story deck seating overlooking the ocean and menus with delicious fish entrees ranging from $7 to $16. The distinguishing factor is that Erika's is more of a locals' joint, while La Bocana attracts more tourists. Whichever you choose, aim to grab a seat on one of their decks at sunset, since the views are amazing.
The full-service restaurants at Tekuaní Kal (tel. 503/2389-6388) and Las Olas (tel. 503/2411-7553) also offer great views and fresh seafood entrees, as well as a chance to see these two great hotels without the cost of a room.
Playa Zonte -- In addition to the restaurant at La Casa de Frida, the Costa Brava Restaurante (Km 53.5 Carretera Literal, a 5-min. walk west from Frida's; tel. 503/2302-6068) offers a big fish and meat menu for $6 to $12, with ocean-view seating.
