Galleta de Mar

Galleta de Mar is a relatively new café and restaurant in Tamarindo, close to the beach. It combines a coffee bar, pastry counter and cocktail bar with a seafood-focused menu. Dishes mentioned in reviews and shown in photos include ceviche, burgers, sandwiches, tostadas, sweets and desserts, along with coffee and hand-whisked matcha. There is seating inside and on an outdoor terrace, and some reviewers watched the sunset from the area.

It opens for lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Saturday, and from morning to early evening on Sunday.

Galleta de Mar is consistently well reviewed. Guests praise the food, the flavor combinations, the desserts and the warm, attentive service. One recent reviewer found prices a little high and noticed litter on the street nearby in the morning.
