The Lookout

It’s worth the short drive or taxi ride to this rooftop bar/restaurant on the outskirts of Playa del Coco, which appeared on the Netflix series Restaurants on the Edge, a show that profiles eateries around the world in particularly stunning locations. Aside from the outstanding sunsets, the menu standouts at this upscale pub include the tuna poke nachos and the lobster grilled cheese, both created from locally sourced seafood. A wide-ranging selection of Costa Rican craft beers is on offer, as well as fresh, locally farmed oysters (raw, fried, charbroiled or steamed).
