Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Tortuguero right now.
If you stay at one of the big lodges up here, your meals will be included in the package price, both in Tortuguero and on your way to and from. Usually not included in package prices are alcoholic beverages, soda, and bottled water. Ask to be sure.
If you’re staying in town, you have a couple of simple, but satisfying, restaurant options.
Pizza, crepes, pastas, and fresh fish are on the menu at this small, canal-side café in the center of town. Wood lattice over the windows, a thatch roof, and, not surprisingly, a small Buddha statue make up the furnishings. Ambient chill out music might be playing in the background.
What this small bakery misses in ambience and decor, it makes up for in quality baked goods to go. This is a great place to stop for breads made with banana, carrot, and natilla (sour cream), or for something more substantial, grab pizza, pasta, or sandwiches before a day of sightseeing.
