Breakfast at the Gran Hotel Costa Rica
The classiest place to eat in Costa Rica is the Gran Hotel! This San Jose landmark overlooks the Plaza de la Cultura and was recenty named a landmark site.
Our family of 5 was travelling on a budget of $200 CDN a day so staying at the hotel was never a consideration, but breakfast on the plaza was! We arrived at the plaza with rolling suitcases in tow and seated ourselves for desayano tipico comple with juise, coffee, fruit plate eggs and, of course, gallo pinto . The fruit plate was extra over our usual Costa Rica breakfast and well worth the $8 per person vs a more typical $4-5 each back in Alajuela.
Jon and Mark are enjoying their meal with the Plaza behind them.
Here is the Gran Hotel Website
