The Gingerbread - One of the BEST Restaurants in Costa Rica

The Gingerbread in Nuevo Arenal Costa Rica has some of the BEST food in the entire country.
Costa Rica is NOT known for its fine cuisine, PERIOD and after about 4 days of experiencing rice and beans 3 times a day, everyday, most tourists would LOVE to chance on a Mickey D's, although few would admit to it for obvious reasons.

Most who visit Costa Rica want to experience EVERYTHING Costa Rica, McDonald's is NOT it.
Personally, I think the perception that Costa Rica food is bland and not tasty is greatly exaggerated and I will tell you why in a future post. But I will admit there is something about eating rice and beans first thing in the morning... anyway...

We were filming at Villa Decary, located about 45 minutes from La Fortuna going around Lake Arenal towards Tilaran and Canas. As luck would have it, a mere 4-minute walk from Villa Decary is perhaps one of the BEST restaurants in Costa Rica, The Gingerbread. Here's our impromptu video of, 'The Gingerbread'.

I've been to Costa Rica twice, and while I have had some bland food, I have had many wonderful meals. You're right about it not being known for fine cuisine, but there are plenty of opportunities to experience tico fare mixed with the many cultural influences that make up the tiny country. One of the best pizzas I ever ate came from a small eatery near Monteverde. That all being said I'm checking out the Gingerbread the next time I'm there. You guys aren't the first people I've heard rave about it!

Yeah, I think it is like everywhere. You can get bland foot and also good and delicious food all over the world. So there is no direct relation to a country or culture I guess.
