Minutes outside of San José toward Cerro Zurquí, Sibú Chocolate serves some of the finest Costa Rican delicacies around.

Their San Isidro cottage makes fresh, locally-sourced chocolate to complement a rotating lunch menu that includes a fantastic grilled-cheese sandwich. All of that comes in a quiet rural setting surrounded by a beautiful garden view.

It’s one of our favorite restaurants in Costa Rica. What are yours? Let us know on Facebook.
