Restaurante Buru Seaside Manuel Antonio

My wife and I and two friends were staying in Manuel Antonion in Costa Rica for a week as part of a tour of the country. My had spotted Restaurant Buru while walking along the beach and we ended up deciding to get there. The restaurant has a very appealing décor and live music – not a loud electric group but a single guitarist and timba player, which really added to the atmosphere. The service at Buru is excellent, we were escorted to our seats very quickly and in English. Buru has an extensive menu but the selections that attracted me were seafood dishes. I’m not a great lover of a wide selection of seafood, but since we were vacationing in Costa Rica, I thought it was worth a try. My wife ordered the mahi-mahi, and I ordered yellowfin tuna. Both dishes were incredibly good – cooked to perfection! Our friends ordered to hamburger plate and ceviche and both were great. One suggestion if you’re going to order a main dish like this, a starter is too much food. The portions are fresh and delicious and very generous. There are several good restaurants catering to the floods of tourists who visit Manuel Antonio every year, but Restaurant Buru is not one you should miss.

What a great spot! Excellent location right across from the beach. We went for breakfast and later returned for drinks and a sandwich — everything was delicious. We enjoyed it so much we came back the next day for lunch and had a perfectly fried red snapper, beautifully presented. The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the prices are very fair. Highly recommended — we’ll definitely be back.

Good ambiance. Right next to Manuel Antonio Beach. Delicious food and cocktails. Happy hour till 6:30. Very convenient from our hotel. Went there twice. Strong recommendation to visit! Vegetarian options available too.
