Glen's Recommendation
June 2026If you’re spending time in La Fortuna and want a meal that feels fresh, light, and genuinely satisfying, Restaurante The Green Spoon is a spot I’d happily point fellow travelers toward. I stopped in while exploring the area, and it was exactly the kind of place I like finding after a humid morning of hiking, waterfall chasing, or soaking in hot springs.
What stood out to me most was how relaxed and welcoming the whole experience felt. The food has that clean, colorful, fresh-off-the-plate vibe that makes you feel like you’re treating yourself without going overboard. In a destination where it’s easy to load up on heavy meals, this place is a really nice balance. I also appreciated the calm atmosphere — it’s the kind of restaurant where you can slow down, cool off, and actually enjoy lunch or an early dinner instead of rushing through it.
The 4.8 Google rating makes total sense to me. Places don’t earn that kind of reputation by accident, and this one clearly does a lot of things right. It’s especially appealing if you’re traveling with friends who want healthier options, or if you just want a break from the usual tourist-trail food.
Travel With Glen Pro Tip: Go after an active morning in La Fortuna and ask for the freshest, lightest options on the menu — it’s the perfect reset meal before your next adventure.
