New Cozy, Cute Restaurants - San Jose, Costa Rica

Two smaller cafes have opened in the past week. Maple Leaf Cafe is in the previous Nashville Bar. It is two stories with a nice balcony and beautiful views of Parque Morazan, downtown and the northern mountains. Breakfast is served all day. Typical Tico/gringo mix on the menu. Prices are a little high, normal for the area. Open 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. 2221-6127


Pizza OK Ristorante Italiano is a cute cafe about 50 meters north of AutoMercado. They sell inside and have a window at the street. I've been disappointed in pizza selection here in Costa Rica and this seems like welcome change. Incorporating more gourment ingredients such as gorgonzola cheese, capers, ricotta and anchovies. I had the Pizza OK, tomato, pesto, ricotta & spinach, Yum! 2222-3837
