We have been the leader in "Tropical Farm to Table" since our opening 8 years ago offerring our guests  spectacularly presented meals comprised entirely of fresh, organic, ingredients - grown and raised within 20 miles of the plate,

and now much of it from our own organic gardens.

 

Our dinner offerings have always been low in carbs & for the most part gluten-free..

We don't fry or batter, and for carbs we largely use rice, potatoes and corn - otherwise our plates comprise fresh vegetables and the highest quality meats, poultry & seafood.

Our varied breakfast offerings include gluten-free options like our breakfast tamale, coconut pancakes and Huevos Rancho, in addition to  many  other traditional  choices complemented by homemade, whole grain baked goods (traditional & gluten-free).

 

 Your experience at our guest only Whale's Tail Grill will be a merger of fresh and healthy simplicity with a spirited latin/tropcial twist.  And although you will eat heartily,  the obligatory "vacation weight gain" probably won't happen. ​

Every night we welcome you to a World-Tropcial culinary experience,  enjoying the
best of Tropical Cuisine with the flavors of Latin America, Asia and the Mediterranean.

Warm climate regions throughout the world feature succulent fruits, unique & unusual
vegetables and distinctive spices......  and ours is no exception.

Taking advantage of our local, organic bounty you'll experience foods like Chayote, Green Mango, Baby Calamari, homemade Ginger/Green Tea Ice Cream, Rainforest Mushrooms and many more - brought together with  relaxed  "Casual Fine Dining" comfort and a variety of serving styles. Our surprise blending of Small Plate meals, Tastings, Tapas, Traditional 4 courses and Buffet guarantees a tireless gastronomic panorama.

 

As a further enhancement, we offer a suggested Cocktail Pairing to compliment each meal, also comprised of strictly fresh ingredients and premium liquors.

 

We feature locally grown and raised organic fruits and produce,  grass-fed meats & poultry, the freshest seafood right from our front yard (among the Pacific's most mercury free waters) and whole grains. We bake our own healthy breads, muffins, tortillas, buns and afternoon cookies.   Breakfast and lunch are ala carte - and equally creative, healthy and beautiful. 

 

Preparation is handled by Chef Alex - one of Costa Rica's most  recognized, outstanding young chefs - and his  4 Sous Chefs (Juan, David, Hudson & Chimi).  Plates are hearty and comfortable - but impeccably presented and complex. 

For eight years, our guests have been applauding the nightly surprise they experience at the Grill.  Their experience proves that dining at the Club is a new venture every night.  Dinner at the Clubhouse is considered one of Costa Rica's finest culinary experiences; the all-natural ingredients we utilize come together into flavorful, tropical-region dishes.  Because our menu changes everyday, here is a sampling of some of the Dinner Starters, Entrees and Deserts as well as a few Lunches

CHEF ALEX BEFORE AND AFTER.....
So..... our beloved executive chef Alex decides just 3 months ago (!) to go gluten-free. Here's the result 40 pounds later! The best part is that he accomplished this by adopting the meals we serve at Rancho Pacifico (most of which are naturally gluten-free because our menu has, for 8 years, been low in carbs). He gave up his former diet of sweets, soda, sandwiches, cakes, etc.

The benefit going forward is that everyone, gluten-free or not - can reap the benefits of our low-carb meals. And if you are gluten free, there is very little compromise. And don't worry, we still get the complaint we have always gotten - "you give us too much food!"

Our innovative organic garden is producing a large portion of our vegetables and fruits.

Sustainable.  Organic.  Local.  Ethical.
 
Healthy. Contemporary. Comfortable.
Welcome to Costa Rica's most acclaimed,
creative dining experience;  "World-Tropical Cuisine";

"costa rica has not been known for it's cuisine - but rancho pacifico has creatively raised the bar thanks to it's abundant organic,  local resources - and it's a bargain...."
