Do they cater for vegetarians in Costa Rica?
Food in Costa Rica is quite unpretentious. There are plenty of restaurants, but you might want to visit a small ‘soda’ (restaurant with local dishes). They eat lots of meat, but delicious salads feature on the menu as well, so vegetarians will not have a problem. City restaurants offer pastas, pizzas and Chinese food as well. Availability of fruits depends on the season: oranges, bananas and pineapples are most popular, but also more exotic fruits like Chirimoy, carambola, granadilla (a sort of pomegranate), guave, guayaba, cas (a passion fruit) and papaya. The jugos naturales or fruit juices from these are delicious.
