Planning for Mixed Groups

Most catering groups in Jacó aren't entirely vegetarian — they're mixed groups where one or several guests prefer plant-based options. Here's how we handle this:

• Integrated menus — Vegetarian dishes are incorporated into the group menu so everyone eats together
• Shared appetizers — Items like hummus, grilled vegetables, and salads work for everyone
• Parallel mains — While some guests enjoy steak or seafood, vegetarian guests get equally substantial dishes like stuffed mushrooms or vegetable lasagna
• Shared desserts — Most desserts on our menus are already vegetarian

Vegetarian Options Within Other Menus

Beyond our dedicated vegetarian menu, many items from our other menus are naturally vegetarian or can be adapted:

• Breakfast: Gallo Pinto, eggs, fried cheese, plantains, fruits, pancakes — most breakfast items are vegetarian
• Brunch: Croissants, cheese plates, fruit skewers, pancakes, eggs, cereals
• BBQ: Vegetable skewers, pita pizza with spinach, salads, pico de gallo
• Italian: Vegetable lasagna option, pasta with garlic butter, salads

Important Notes About Dietary Requirements

A few important points about vegetarian and dietary catering:

• Please specify vegetarian requirements when requesting your quote
• Let us know how many guests need vegetarian options
• If you have stricter requirements (vegan, no dairy, no eggs), discuss these directly with the chef
• We cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free preparation environment unless specifically confirmed
• The chef can advise on what modifications are possible for your specific group

Costa Rica and Vegetarian Food

Costa Rica has a strong tradition of rice, beans, fresh vegetables, and tropical fruits — making it naturally accommodating for vegetarian diets. Many traditional dishes are plant-based or easily adapted. The abundance of fresh tropical produce means vegetarian catering here can be vibrant and flavorful rather than limited.
