Every meal at Rancho Margot is a celebration of nourishment and care. Grown, raised, and prepared on the land, the food reflects the rhythms of the earth and the love poured into every step. You’ll enjoy a vibrant salad bar, with greens and vegetables harvested just steps from the kitchen. Homemade breads are baked daily, and fresh cheeses are crafted on-site. One of the most loved meals is wood-fired pizza, pulled straight from the farm’s traditional oven and served with intention and joy. Freshly made desserts follow, simple and satisfying. The hot bar features comforting Costa Rican dishes, made with ingredients that honor the region and its roots. All meat is humanely raised on the farm, prepared with care and deep respect for the animals and the land. This food doesn’t just feed you. It grounds you. It reminds you what it feels like to be well cared for, from the inside out.
