Restaurante Tilapiera Los Lagitos in Rio Celeste

Delicious and affordable Costa Rican food in a very beautiful location, with a nice garden and water pools where we bred tilapia fish for consumption in the restaurant. The restaurant is a local family business attended by my wife and son, where you will feel welcome. We are located just 0.8 Mile(1.4km) from Rio Celeste waterfall entrance (Tenorio Volcano National Park) Open All Days from 11am to 8pm

Good family run local restaurant Good local family run restaurant with wide selection of food to cater for most tastes. My husband had the seafood soup to start which was really good and then fresh fish to follow. There are plenty of drinks and cocktails to choose from and you must check out all the wooden carvings that the owners have hand carved.

Great local freshly made food What a great spot! They have a their own fish pond. You get fresh fish Deep fried to perfection. Local Costa Rica dishes Fantastic experience . The nachos and patakones were the best I had lately.

Bucolique et bon (nourriture et prix) - a faire ! Endroit superbe qui vaut le detour. En premier lieu parce qu on y mange bien à un bon rapport qualité prix (rare au Costa Rica) mais surtout car le restaurant, un peu en retrait de la route principale (500m) se trouve immédiatement en pleine nature. Le jardin superbement aménagé est splendide. Le poisson est ultra frais (pêché sous nos yeux), la nourriture simple mais bonne. Lieu calme et agréable, joliment décoré. Très bon moment passé. Nous recommandons

New Friends Amazing Food The place and food are amazing. I loved this restaurant and the hospitality. Being vegetarian it is tough to find good options at major 5 stars at times. This guy created amazing dishes for us. The property is great. Highly recommended.

"Leckerer" Abschluss nach Horseriding und schwimmen im Rio Celeste Hier kann man wunderbar und idyllisch speisen. Entweder nach einem Tag im Tenorio oder aber nach einem Horseriding mit David. Sehr schöne Gartenanlage, sauberes Restaurant und gutes Preis-Leistung Verhältnis. Beides eine absolute Empfehlung

Tilapia und mehr Eine wunderbare Alternative zu hochpreisigen Hotelrestaurants. Idyllisch gelegen im Grünen, aber nicht zu weit weg von der Hauptstraße. Anfahrt etwas holprig, doch es lohnt sich. Tilapia frisch und mit verschiedenen Beilagen (Yucca z. B.) ein Genuss. Das Besitzerehepaar ist ausgesprochen freundlich. Wir konnten nach dem Essen noch die verschiedenen Frösche auf dem Gelände erkunden. Zusätzlich: die Reittour mit David - ein besonderes Abenteuer!

Delicious fish, over-the-top service! We were so glad to have found this restaurant. The tilapia is caught fresh from the stream on the lovely restaurant grounds and the meal was delicious, with a good choice of side dishes. It was a cool-ish evening and we didn’t have sweaters in the car, so I wrapped a paréo around my shoulders and the cook lent her sweater to my hubby! A great experience all around.

Tour espectacular y cena con pescado fresco Fuimos a Río Celeste a ver la catarata y como el parqueo del parque es de pago nos desviamos hacia este sitio, el cual conocía y dejamos nuestro coche allí y caminamos hasta el parque (15/20min). Al volver hicimos un tour a caballo con David, quien nos llevó por una ruta en la cual nos subimos a un columpio en medio de la selva, y nos bañamos en unas pozas super bonitas. Al volver comimos en el restaurante una tilpapia fresca con yuca frita y un jugo de pasión fruit. El trato ha sido inmejorable y la comida súper buena. Pagamos 28$ por dos platos y 2 jugos lo que está muy bien teniendo en cuenta lo caro que es CR. El tour fueron 40$ por persona y duro 2h, nos lo pasamos genial! Recomiendo este sitio a todos!
