The Rain Forest cafe is great when what you need is a place that has food to meet everyone in the family’s needs. There are some fast food favourites and some good restaurant food - steaks, fish, familiar, you name it. Service was excellent, very...friendly. Oh and try the cold mokkachino, it’s the bestMore

The place was recommended by a gift shop staff worker and did not disappoint. The usual standard CR fare was there…but some quirky dishes too. The azteca soup had a fairly odd list of ingredients and accompanying nachos/ chillies tasted really very good. The mixed...nachos plate was fully loaded and a generous dish to share. The beef empanada was quite large and has some real chilli-heat to it- exceptional. The quesadilla was well made. A pasta based dish was nicely done. The coffees and drinks we had including (free) chilled bottled tap water all arrived promptly. There was a chiller cabinet full of cakes which looked great…but we were too full to try any. The menu made it clear that the prices were net of service so we were not surprised when the bill came. Tip: Making payment by card in Dollars gives the restaurant or its bank an opportunity to apply a less generous exchange rate…so avoid this by paying in Colonnes if you have a non Dollar payment card. Also, choose dishes the locals prefer to eat and you may find the prices may be lower than those for tourist tastes. The toilets were clean. A very busy, well run place with locals out-numbering tourists. Located off the main road close to bottom of the main square to the left, as you look uphill towards the volcano. Tip: Along the same road and off to the right is a very well stocked supermarket including chilled beers all at Tico prices, plus an ATM.More

Just to say tried this place on the strength of the reviews which are just not accurate. Very much a basic Costa Rican Soda with average at best food. Nice staff in fairness & appropriately priced but disappointing. Tico’s often don’t understand a good breakfast,...penny pinch & hey, you try it once & don’t return, there is value in a repeat customer, one day they’ll get it. You will kick yourself for not doing breakfast at The Red Frog which is arguably the best in the area.More

This should be the #1 restaurant in La Fortuna. Our waiter was so friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and the coffee was the best we had anywhere.

This place was recommended by Lonely Planet and it did not disappoint. The service was fast and friendly and the food, fresh and delicious. There was something for the entire family.

We enjoyed coming here for a coffee and a fruit plate. The service was friendly and the fruit fresh. Oh and coffee very nice. Overall a lovely experience

Excellent food and the best coffee. Perfect service. We went every morning of our 4 days stay. A pleasure every day!

We had a quick lunch here a few days ago and I have to say it was excellent all round - server made totally sure not to ‘gluten’ my daughter and each dish was fresh tasty and awesome - a chicken salad, a chicken with...rice dish and I had a fish rice dish - all were great ! My only complaint is that the walls are filled in with glass so it’s a little stuffy during the day RobMore

Awesome meal and best coffee we’ve had in Costa Rica. The trout with shrimp passion fruit sauce and sea bass with white sauce were delicious. Fantastic dessert and coffee selection. Very friendly staff and casual ambiance. All at a very reasonable price.

Had a wonderful dinner. My New York strip with a jalapeño sauce was very good. My wife had sea bass and shrimp in a white sauce that we could probably have for dinner every night. We shouldn't have but the chocolate flan cake looked too...good and it was. We will eat there again this stay, hear breakfast is good also.More

Lovely staff at this restaurant which offers a wide menu, especially a great breakfast with coffee, juice or smoothies

Visited Rain Forest Cafe twice during our trip in mid-December 2021. Friendly service, excellent food and drinks. The Sopa Azteca was a favorite. If I lived near here, I would be a regular.
