Fodor's Expert Review Bromelias del Río

This simple garden dining spot in the far northern Central Valley makes a great breakfast stop if you’re on your way to the Caribbean. Fortify yourself with the tradicional (gallo pinto, eggs, bread, and coffee) or americano (ham, eggs, bacon, toast, and juice) breakfasts. Lunch gives way to light lasagnas, soups, crepes, and salads. You’ll appreciate the variety of coffee drinks here; there’s a bit of a chill in this higher-elevation sector of the valley.
