Restaurants in Playa Nosara
Marlin Bill’s (tel. 2682-0458) is a popular and massive open-air haunt on the hillside on the main road, just across from Café de Paris. You can expect to get good, fresh seafood and American classics here. La Dolce Vita ★★ (tel. 2682-0107), on the outskirts of town on the road to Playa Sámara, serves up Italian fare nightly. For sushi or just a good cocktail, there’s the restaurant at the Harmony Hotel & Spa (tel.2682-4114).
Scream Nosara (tel. 2682-0617) makes homemade ice cream and also serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Go Juice (tel. 8682-4692) is a semi-permanent “food truck” dishing out fresh juices, iced coffee drinks, and tuna poke bowls. Their signature frozen-banana coffee drink has won over more than a few skeptics. And finally, there’s Organico (tel. 8819-0732), a small café and grocery store with prepared foods, fresh juices, tamales, and empanadas.
