What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Travesía Restaurant is highly praised for its exceptional food quality, particularly the generous mixed grills and fresh ceviche. Diners rave about the flavorful meats and sides, with portions often exceeding expectations. The friendly and attentive service, combined with an intimate atmosphere, makes for a memorable dining experience, though reservations are recommended due to its popularity.
"We were lucky and were able to snag a table with no reservation around 5pm. We got a beef platter for two and a lava cake. Both were phenomenal. My husband and I are both big eaters, and we still struggled to finish everything. We were able to pick some of our sides, and there were lots of options. The yucca with the house mayonnaise was yummy, and the chimichurri was excellent on the steak.
All things considered, the price was also reasonable for the amount of food we got and the quality.
This was our favorite dinner during our visit to CR, and we’ve had some incredible meals already."

"Travesía Restaurant in La Fortuna is a must-visit! The entire experience was incredible — from the amazing atmosphere to the top-notch food and drinks.
We started with the ceviche, which was fresh, flavorful, and a perfect way to begin the meal. For drinks, we enjoyed a perfectly made margarita and some of the best fresh fruit smoothies we had during our trip — so refreshing!
The highlight was definitely their select meat option where you pick your cut, three sides, and one sauce. Everything was cooked perfectly — the meat was tender and juicy, the sides were delicious, and the sauces added the perfect finishing touch.
We wrapped up with the lava cake for dessert, which was rich, gooey, and absolutely worth it.
The combination of great food, fantastic drinks, and an inviting atmosphere makes Travesía a must when you’re in La Fortuna. Highly recommend!"

"Okay where to begin. The food was very good. All of it. Steak perfect. Shrimp tasty. Chicken juicy. Sausages great. Veggies just right. The presentation with the grill on our table... A must. It said for two people but we had a lot of leftovers and we ate a lot. Here's one thing I don't recommend... Don't get a coffee there. They use a machine making instant coffee and c'mon people we all know that's such low quality like the instant coffee you find in your workplace and they were charging way too much. I saw waiters over at that machine all night swiping and pushing buttons then patrons so happy to get their coffee not knowing its source. This place prides itself as a high quality steakhouse. Please get rid of that machine or hide it from our view. Beyond that - all prices very reasonable and food quality high. The best dinner we had during our trip. And like others mentioned, get there before 6pm for a table otherwise reservations required. We watched people getting turned away all night. The dining room is small. They take credit card and apple pay."
