Mopri

Top choice in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca


You'd never know it from Mopri's dingy facade and cheap plastic tables, but this place serves some of the best seafood in Puerto Viejo. Choose your star ingredient – whole snapper, calamari, lobster or prawns – then choose your sauce – Caribbean, Mopri's garlic butter, curry, jalapeño or lip-smacking salsa. Last, pile on the sides – rice, fried potatoes, plantains, salad, veggies or beans.

It also has a kids' menu and pasta dishes for non-fish eaters, plus wine, beer, juice and coffee to wash it all down.
