Off the eaten path: The best of 2018

We debuted a lot of things in 2018 and one of our favorites was our new dining and nightlife column “Off the Eaten Path.”

Off the eaten path: Tamura

Growing up in Vancouver, Canada, a world-class sushi city and so I can confidently claim to know the difference between the real deal and the not-so-authentic.

Off the eaten path: Al Masri Cocina Egipcia

Admittedly I have never eaten Egyptian food, so I have no reference point for good Egyption food. But I do know food, and the food at Al Masri is good. I’m pretty sure it’s authentic too since the owner, Mohammed Hussien, only moved to Costa Rica from his native Egypt six years ago.

Off the eaten path: Villa Oro

I must have driven passed Villa Oro a thousand times before I finally went in. Every time I passed the “Comida Taiwanesa” sign out front, my curiosity grew, until I finally gave it a try.

Off the eaten path: Cordero’s Bar

I’ve already highlighted what I think are the top three chifrijos in Costa Rica. Doing so was one of my first orders of business when I started this column.

Off the eaten path: Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal is well-known and might not be as “off the eaten path” as some of the other restaurants I review, but it was back when I reviewed it for my high school newspaper back in 2005.
