Lava Lounge

La Fortuna


This open-air restaurant has become a go-to spot for post-activities lunch or dinner. There is pizza and pasta, wraps and salads, and loads of vegetarian options. The reggae throbs nonstop under a palapa (thatched) roof. Add colorful cocktails, hip service, and occasional DJ/live music, and the place is pretty irresistible.

Owner/chef Scott also runs Gecko's Waterfall Grill and Costa Rica Dog Rescue.
