New Choices

The food scene in town is a quickly evolving market.  The traditional cuisine of the area revolves around traditional Nicaraguan dishes with an emphasis on seafood.  The freshness of the ingredients go a long way in creating straightforward and hearty dishes like whole fried snapper, breaded shrimp, seafood soup, churrasco steak, fried chicken and others which are always accompanied by rice and sometimes beans, cabbage salad and more starch (tortillas, fried plantains, etc.).

New choices promise different flavors and good values.  The settings are also diverse ranging from comfortable fast food to elegant gourmet.  A good variety of flavors exist including Mexican, Italian, Spanish, American, Japanese and others.  The food choices are plentiful and if current trends continue there will be even more to choose from shortly.

Other excellent choices exist outside of the the town of San Juan del Sur.  The Maderas/Marsella area  offers a good variety of places to eat with a wide range of flavors.  South of town Playa Coco highlights an excellent restaurant and Ostional has some local choices with some of the freshest seafood in the area.  As these area grows there will no doubt be influences from other cuisines and refinement in the local offerings.
