You have to convert the List into a Godot Array:

public class Bar : Godot.Node
{
    public Godot.Collections.Array<string> Capitals()
    {
        var list = new System.Collections.Generic.List<string>();
        list.Add("Berlin");
        list.Add("Paris");
        list.Add("London");

        var array = new Godot.Collections.Array<string>(list);
        return array;
    }
}

Then you can use it in GDScript:

extends Node

func _ready():
    var bar = load("res://Bar.cs").new()
    var capitals: Array = bar.Capitals();
    for capital in capitals:
        print(capital)

Also take a look at the docs:
