Dining
Dining is a wonderful experience at Magnolia House with “elegant” relaxed, fine dining. Three exquisite meals are available daily.
A full breakfast is included and consists of local fruits, homemade breads, cereals and your choice of a traditional Costa Rican breakfast or bacon and eggs or banana pancakes and sausages.
Lunch offers a daily menu featuring a delicious main course as well as dessert.
In the evening, enjoy a pre-dinner drink and mouth-watering appetizers while watching the sunset over the ocean at the bar or on the terrace, or cozy up by our crackling fireplace.
For dinner the tables are dressed with white table linens, fine china and sparkling crystal goblets. Candles flicker. We want our guests to enjoy the atmosphere of the relaxed but elegant dining experience. A new menu is prepared daily for a three course scrumptuous meal. Since we are a small establishment, we are able to design our daily set menus with the freshest ingredients. Before you arrive, we inquire about food allergies and general tastes in food, so that our menus will meet all of your expectations!

What people are saying about our meals!!
Dinners might consist of tender trout in lemon-tarragon sauce or tasty grilled chicken skewers, while as-you-like-it breakfasts may include fresh fruit, granola and yogurt, eggs and bacon or some of Maureen's mouthwatering fresh-baked banana muffins.~ Meg Yamamoto, Tico Times, June 12, 2009
Dinner at Rio Magnolia is a feast, and the wine cellar is extraordinarily well-stocked. Coffee awaits you at dawn. A chorus of songbirds sing; the crisp mountain air and green mountains beckon. ~ Sleeping with the Toucans, March 29, 2009
