Lunch - Victoria Cafeteria/Café Victoria

Yesterday, Saturday, Lance suggested we have lunch at Victoria Cafeteria which we had yet to try. As you can see from the map below, it is very close to where we live.



Victoria Cafeteria is in a charming wooden building with covered porches on two sides. Lots of flowers on the grounds and in and around the porches. It is located next to Coopevictoria, the huge coffee and sugar cane processing plant.




A couple of views of the Coopevictoria plant next door - that is some huge gear on display:


We can’t figure out what those four big “things” are in the background:


Lots of items to choose from the menu. For drinks, we both ordered
mora with milk. They were really large.


Lance’s lunch choice was arroz con camarones/shrimp with rice. The rice was loaded with shrimp.


And for me, it was the casado Tico with cerdo (pork):


From left to right clockwise: pork with grilled onions, plantains, black beans, mixed salad, picadillo de papa and white rice in the centre. 

The portions are huge and neither of us could finish our rice and beans.

This restaurant is in a lovely setting, with quick service and friendly people. Highly recommend.

OK, now that explains it! I went to the Coope Victoria last spring to try out their cafe I had heard so much about. I didn't get past the little cafeteria inside the butcher shop next to the Coope gas station! I was not impressed, and now I see why I was disappointed. Haha! NOW I know where to go next time. Thank you Diana!

Oh that’s too funny! Yes, that is a soda inside/outside the grocery/butcher shop. We have had breakfast there - it is cafeteria style. It was good but it was not the Cafe Victoria!
