Where to Have Lunch or Dinner in Grecia Part Two

Taking advantage of the success of our previous article on the gastronomic variety of the city of Grecia, we visited other restaurants in the center.
Many small businesses are making a killing in this city taking advantage of the arrival of a prepared middle class. The real estate business is booming offering good quality modern homes in condominiums or in quiet communities such as Santa Gertrudis.
All these people go downtown on weekends to eat something different with family or friends. Without further ado, let’s talk about some of these restaurants.

Al Wok

A new option of Chinese food that has been in Greece for a few months but already stands out for its quality, flavor and unique presentation. In Costa Rica, Chinese food is usually distributed in plastic containers. At Al Wok you can choose to take the dish of your choice home in a paper box, very American style. This presentation makes the dish look more appetizing.
They have a varied Asian menu with an affordable price, including Cantonese rice, tempura chicken, chop suey, kung pao, ramen and fried chicken or pork. There are vegetarian, not vegan, options for those who don’t like meat.
By 2025, a whole prepared rice can be between 3500 to 5000 colones, about 8 to 10 U.S. dollars.

gourmet restaurant Andaluz in Grecia — Although it has not yet opened its doors (May 5, 2025) there is great expectation about the Andalusian Restaurant.

Restaurante Andaluz

We are going to make a stop here just to mention that this place has not opened its doors yet. And why are we talking about this restaurant? Because it is a project of the Barriles chain. Previously we mentioned that Barriles Restaurant is a chain of restaurants that seek to offer a gourmet experience without exaggerating prices.

More about Barriles Restaurant in our first article on where to eat in Grecia.

Andaluz Restaurant, according to some leaks, will have an international menu of dishes with a little emphasis on Mediterranean food.
They are hiring high profile people in all positions, so it is expected to be the most luxurious dining experience this side of the central valley.
We will be updating this post as more information comes to light. The restaurant is located next to the metal church.

pizza shop pixa photo at evening — Pizza Pixa has two areas, one for pizzas and fast food and one for lunches.

Pizzeria Pixa

Pizza is just a small part of the menu offered by this place. They have fajitas, wings, rice, bbq ribs, tacos, potatoes, among others. The taste and presentation stands out to the point that you will see this small place, with a space for about 20 people, always full.
All the dishes on the menu taste delicious, but their rimless pizza stands out above the rest. Its appearance is a little rough, like that of a homemade pizza, with the particularity that the ingredients stand out above the cheese layer.

If instead you want a more traditional pizza, in this article we mentioned a couple of pizzerias.

As the crust is slightly toasted, it allows you to hold it in your hand without bending it too much, which makes it easier to eat. Thanks to this toasting, you can eat only the cheese, the toppings and the sauce leaving the crust. Or eat it all, your choice.

gramos coffee and pastries in Grecia during the night — Cafeteria Gramos, north of the city, is located in the residential part of the city. Tranquility guaranteed.

A coffee shop for those who like to read in peace and quiet while enjoying a cup of coffee and a piece of cake. What makes the business stand out is the friendly service provided by a group of enterprising women.
In confectionery they offer cakes, sandwiches, cookies, pudding, salty bread, among others.
They offer many types of coffee, from cappuccino to latte. They also offer tea, milkshakes and chocolate with marshmallows.
If you are not craving for pastries, there are the “sonajas” a hamburger with artisan bread and two types of cheese, plus the meat pie and the house sauce.
There are also the “costrozas”, a kind of empanada or tortilla filled with beef or chicken accompanied by tomato and avocado. There are more surprises like the “maukas” and the “samloka” both made with artisan bread.
