Sofia Mediterraneo is more than just a restaurant—it’s a celebration of Mediterranean culture and cuisine, located in the heart of Tamarindo. Drawing inspiration from the culinary and cultural wealth of 22 Mediterranean countries, Sofia Mediterraneo offers a dining experience that is as much about health, conversation, and community as it is about the food itself. The name “Sofía,” meaning “wisdom” in Greek, reflects the restaurant’s philosophy of cooking with knowledge, tradition, and care.
At Sofia Mediterraneo, the focus is on using fresh, responsibly sourced ingredients, with a commitment to sustainability and ecological practices. The restaurant prides itself on knowing the origins of its ingredients, working closely with local farmers, fishermen, and ranchers. Seasonal fruits and vegetables, organic lamb from small family farms, free-range poultry, and fresh seafood from Costa Rica’s Pacific coast all contribute to the vibrant, flavorful dishes on the menu.
The restaurant’s offerings are diverse, from freshly baked bread made in-house to homemade tortelloni and indulgent desserts crafted from natural ingredients. Olive oil, a staple of Mediterranean cuisine, is a key component in many dishes, imported directly from Greece. Sofía Mediterraneo also takes steps to reduce its environmental impact, eliminating plastic bottles and straws from its beverage service.
With a menu that honors Mediterranean traditions while embracing innovation, Sofia Mediterraneo provides a warm, welcoming space where food, conversation, and friendship come together naturally.
