Don Rufino Details PleaseOpen 12–10 PM every dayWhat Our Friends Are SayingFodor's: "Although this is one of the more upscale restaurants in the area, there's no need to dress up here: this is La Fortuna, after all. The L-shape bar fronting the main street has become a popular expat and tourist hangout, especially when there's live music on the calendar. The user-friendly menu is marked with symbols of chili peppers for spicy dishes, a tomato for vegetarian dishes, and a check mark for those that are highly recommended. Friendly waitstaff might suggest chicken seasoned with chocolate, coffee, and tarragon or forest lasagna made with wild mushrooms, caramelized onions, and ricotta cheese. Their grilled meats are local, organic, and are served with a side of polenta, lentils, and caramelized apples in a balsamic dressing. The tilapia in bacon-and-tomato sauce is also very good."

Perhaps one of the most gorgeous restaurants in the Arenal area, Don Rufino’s warm atmosphere is enhanced by mahogany wood, fireplaces and an intimate setting. Thanks to Costa Rica’s vast biodiversity, quality cuts of meat topped with tons of local veggies are the go-to here.
