Restaurants in Liberia, Costa Rica
Liberia has plenty of dining choices. For local flavor, choose one of the sodas around the central park. Another option for Costa Rican cuisine is La Choza de Laurel (www.lachozadelaurel.com; tel. 2668-1019), located along the main highway, about 800m (2,624 ft.) east of the Liberia airport entrance. It serves good, authentic Costa Rican food, but has a more touristy feel than the simple places you’ll find in town. For a slightly more upscale option, head along Avenida Central a block beyond the central park to Marisqueria Sabor Porteño (tel. 2665-2841), a stalwart Peruvian restaurant with a climate controlled atmosphere at Avenida 8 and Calle 2. Another popular alternative is Pizzería Pronto (📞 2666-2098), for wood-oven pizzas and assorted pasta dishes in a restored colonial home.

For food with a good bar scene, try Liberia Social Club (www.liberiasocialclub.com; tel. 2665-0741), which sometimes features live music and dancing at night, and is in the Centro Comercial Santa Rosa, at the main highway crossroads.
