Look No Further For What You Crave

C
osta Rica really is the best. Many of us who have fallen in love with this country will cite similar reasons: the people are the nicest, the beaches are the most magnificent, the weather the balmiest. And soda meals are great—we love gallo pinto as much as the next guy, really! But sometimes we are in the mood for — and our taste buds are craving — well, something different. It might be a fine dining spot reminiscent of that gorgeous place in Manhattan where you would go after the theater … the luxe decor, mouthwatering menu and wine list with selections you couldn’t find anywhere else. With the opening of Latitud 10° Norte, you need look no further. The cuisine at Latitud 10° Norte, one of the three new W Hotel restaurants at Reserva Conchal, is a mix of Costa Rica and Thailand. That’s because both countries are not only foodie heavens but lie latitudinally on 10° north — hence the name. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Visiting this restaurant is an experience, so we’ll walk you through it, start to finish.
Boutique bistro elegance
You’ve heard your share of fish stories. But the colossal, lit-up hanging fish sculpture catches your eye immediately when you walk in the door, as you’re enveloped in the boutique bistro ambiance with elegant accents. As you sit down for a cocktail before dinner, get your camera ready because the presentation
is truly Insta-worthy. Ask the mixologist to prepare you a smoked drink tableside, using a smoldering contraption to infuse your drink with a unique flavor. The look and feel, not to mention the taste of your spirits, is unlike anything available elsewhere in the area. If you’re not in the mood for a smoked beverage, try one of the fruity, tropical drinks instead. After your aperitif, move to the Latitud 10° Norte dining room, where the service is personal and exceptional. The menu is fresh and modern, paying homage to Costa Rica, but the cuisine elevated with a Thai twist. And keep your camera handy — the food presentation is as artful and elegant as the flavors.
Surprise your tastebuds
Start with a playful tuna and watermelon plate, surprising your tastebuds with alternating cubes of fish and fruit. Seafood, like scallops or shrimp, is cooked to perfection. The wagyu beef is divine. You must try the short ribs, slow-cooked all day for a tender and melt-inyour-mouth flavor. Save room for one of the pastry chef ’s signature confections, a chocolate tart or fruit compote to finish your dining experience. Latitud 10° Norte is open for dinner only, from 6 to 10 p.m. A private room accommodating two to 16 people is available for parties or meetings, perfect for your special occasion. To make reservations, contact Whatever / Whenever: Call 2654-3600 or WhatsApp 84897458. howlermag.com

Tasty Traditions
by Jim Parisi and Alei Burns
COSTA RICAN HOLIDAY CUISINE
F Preparing Christmas tamales in the family kitchen is a multi-stage group event.
ood is an integral part of the equation for any culture that celebrates Christmas. Costa Rica has its own Yuletide feasts and treats prevalent from the end of November through the start of the new year. A classic example is queque Navideño, or Christmas cake, a fruitcake that has been soaked in rum. The running joke warning is not to eat too much, to avoid getting drunk. But of course, all the alcohol evaporates when the cake is baked. Also at this time of year, grapes and apples are served with meals as a side dish.
Seasonal favorites
Corn has been a food staple for centuries in Costa Rica, but you can expect more corn on the cob to be served here during the Christmas season. The most popular Yuletide main dish in Costa Rica is pierna de cerdo asada, or pork roast, generally baked and garnished with ample amounts of garlic, oregano, celery, onions and carrots. Sometimes, a cup of orange juice is the secret cooking ingredient, so don’t tell anyone! Sweets abound in most cultures at Christmas time and Costa Rica is no exception. The most popular are manzanas escarchadas (candied apples), rolled in crushed almonds and hazelnuts, as well as mani garapiñado (caramelcovered peanuts). Many are familiar with the churro, a spiral-shaped pastry filled with caramel and then sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. Although churros are available year-round, they seem to be a lot more prevalent during the holiday season.
Tamale tradition
Last, but certainly not least, is the tamale, a staple of Central American cuisine since long before the Spanish Armada set anchor here. Introduced to Europeans by indigenous cultures, the tamale has been part of Latin America’s collective heritage. Each country has its own distinct tamale recipe, too. In Mexico, they are stuffed with beef and black olives, then wrapped in corn husks. In Nicaragua, they are called nacatamale, cooked with bacon and beef, local herbs and vegetables. The Costa Rican tamal is usually packed with pork and carrots. Recently, vegetarian tamales have begun to show their face as well. All tamales are bound by a thick cornmeal called masa, and in Costa Rica are wrapped in plantain leaves. Word to the wise: do not try to eat the leaf wrapping! The tamal is a veritable symbol of the Tico culture. The tradition and recipes are passed on from one generation to the next, usually from mother to daughter. Preparing Christmas tamales in the family kitchen is a multi-stage group event spanning a weekend or two in early December. The end products are bound in twine, usually two together, in packages called piñas. Giving a piña of tamales for the recipient to share with someone else is an integral part of the Christmas spirit in Costa Rica. Feliz Navidad!
