The Green Spoon
The Green Spoon serves a wide range of Costa Rican and international dishes with a clearly separated vegan menu that includes house-made vegan cheese and vegan versions of local staples like casado and chifrijo. The atmosphere is welcoming and casual, featuring outdoor seating and accessible facilities; portions tend to be generous, though prices are considered on the higher side for the area. While many dishes receive praise for flavor and freshness, some vegan items like the quesadilla have divided opinion due to a strong coconut taste in the house-made cheese.
