Glen's Recommendation
June 2026Travel With Glen Review: Restaurantes Hicaco
If you're looking for a memorable waterfront dining experience in Jacó, Restaurantes Hicaco is one of my favorite places to recommend. The location sits right on the water, making it an excellent spot to arrive before sunset. Watching the sun dip below the Pacific while enjoying dinner creates the kind of Costa Rica experience many travelers hope to find.
One thing I always enjoy about Hicaco is the atmosphere. Live musicians often perform while you dine, adding to the relaxed coastal vibe. If you're celebrating a birthday or special occasion, the staff does a wonderful job helping make the event feel memorable.
As for the food, I've never been disappointed. The seafood is outstanding, and the steaks are equally impressive. My personal favorites are the surf and turf, the fried red snapper, and their lobster dishes. Whether you're in the mood for fresh seafood or a perfectly cooked steak, there's something on the menu that delivers.
Travel With Glen Pro Tip: If they're still offering the Bananas Foster dessert, order it. Not only is the dessert delicious, but the preparation itself is part of the experience. The staff creates an impressive tableside presentation featuring an open flame that you rarely see in many restaurants today. The show is entertaining, the aroma is incredible, and the dessert is absolutely worth saving room for.
Whether you're visiting Jacó for a few days or spending an extended time in the area, Restaurantes Hicaco is a restaurant I would gladly return to again and again. Great food, beautiful views, live music, and unforgettable sunsets make it one of the standout dining experiences along Costa Rica's Pacific coast.
