After the butterfly training in the Central Valley and Caribbean side of the country, my trip took me over to the Pacific Coast where there were actually a few vegetarian/vegan restaurant options - even a Thai place with a good yellow curry and tofu! The fruit salads were the highlights though .. this one in the surfer community of Dominical was small diced mango, papaya, pineapple, avocado with rings of onions, sliced tomato, cucumber and a tangy dressing ... Further north, on the Pacific side of the Nicoya Penninsula, in another surfer community, Santa Theresa, my mountainside little BnB suggested a Rasta place on the beach for a vegetarian lunch - theirs was a big bowlful that included watermelon, kiwi, mango, papaya, pineapple and also had shredded coconut and some raisins. All to some godo reggae tunes, many in Espanol... These salads were quite the masterpieces!... Another great meal was a superb cold tomato/cucumber gazpacho in the bohemian young hippie town of Montezuma, served with a side of warm tortillas and avocado. Desert was a chocolate volcano cake - triangular slice with chocolate sauce for lava and vanilla ice cream for the puffs of smoke.
