This place absolutely deserves a 5 star!! We visited first time, ordered a tuna ceviche/tartare and shared a 400g ribeye steak (cost ~17,300 colones) It comes with 3 complimentary sides and 1 sauce, lots to choose from. Had our steak medium rare like how we always do, and it was the best darn steak we had. It was soft, not chewy, and it just melts. Sooooo good. We had mushroom sauce and got an extra capers sauce, both were excellent! Mash potatoes were good too! The meal was so good that we went back again for dinner the next night and it did not fail us. 😋😋 now we're thinking if we should return for thr 3rd night in a row. Haha, but anyway, if anyone is visiting la fortuna and wants a good steak, this is your go to place 👍👍👍 We got a Mixed Grill platter. The food was delicious, perhaps a bit too much for 2 people (we weren't able to finish all the potatoes...) The variety on the mixed grill platter was very pleasant but a part of the steak had just a bit too much fat cap. Chimichurri was absolutely delicious and totally made up for any fatty steak. Despite not speaking perfect English, the team made us feel incredibly welcome. 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!

YOU HAVE TO EAT HERE. We got the seafood grill and the mixed grill (enough food for 4-5ish people). The meat was cooked to perfection. The melted butter was divine. The shrimp was excellent, and of course you have to get the plantain chips. We recommend the “dirty monkey” for a drink option. Servers were super attentive too.

Travesía Restaurant is a must-visit if you’re looking for authentic flavor, great service, and a lively atmosphere. The food was outstanding — perfectly grilled meats, fresh salads, and sides that were full of flavor. Everything tasted homemade and high-quality, and the portions were generous (great for sharing). The service was excellent — friendly, attentive, and fast even though the restaurant was busy. The staff made great recommendations, and everything came out fresh and hot. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, with a true local charm that makes the dining experience even more memorable. It’s the perfect place for a family dinner, date night, or group outing. 📍 If you’re in the area and searching for the best steakhouse, authentic Latin food, or a top restaurant for groups, Travesía is the spot. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!
