We were in Nosara for a week, and went here twice. We would have gone every night had we gotten there sooner. The food was fantastic, and the service excellent.

We tried the Beach Dog Cafe twice on our recent trip to Costa Rica. The first time it was Pina Colada and nachos. Good stuff. The second time we were on a ride with Playa Ponies (very cool ride) and stopped in and had the Healthy Scramble and Pina Colada. Very good! This is just a minutes walk from the... More

This place has the best chips & Salsa/black bean dip/guac i have ever had. The menu is a perfect beach menu. 3 taco lunch (either chicken/beef or fish) was... More

Stopped here a few times on the way in when my girlfriend and I first arrived in Nosara, another while we were staying in town and once more on the way out. Needless to say it's a great place to eat and chill! Fell in love with the fish tacos but everything on the menu is great. Great vibe!

Great food and smoothies (try the peach-yum!) after a surf or swim at Playa Guiones, Nosara. Rent a board from the shop next door and they will let you shower off before your meal! We are from a beach town in CA and this place felt just like home, but with the Costa Rica vibe.

I stayed in Nosara for 4 days and this was my go to spot for my post surfing smoothie! Met the owner who was a nice guy. I wanted to buy a tshirt as I am a dog trainer and I liked their restaurant logo. They were out of shirts but owner gave me a free bumper sticker which is... More

This spot was across from the path to the beach and was a great place for everything from a cool drink to a full meal. It is very kid friendly and relaxed. The fish tacos are very tasty and all the tacos come with a flour or corn option. They serve meals all day including breakfast.

My family and I spent 21 days in Nosara over Christmas and ate at the Beach Dog at least 6 times if not more. Our best memory was their Christmas Eve dinner which was fantasic. The service is friendly and great, the food is out of the world. When we go back to Nosara we will be eating at the... More

This place is right near the center of town and the food was very good. My daughter is a picky eater and they went above and beyond to cut her up some watermelon which she loved. The menu is varied and included fresh fish cajun style, chicken fingers, and Asian.
