Restaurants cuisine régionale Pacific Coast

A few steps from the very modern St. Mary's Cathedral, you can dine on the terrace or in the traditional 150-year-old house with its warm atmosphere. Formerly called Toro Negro, the restaurant has now taken the name of its owner, but has remained a steakhouse. Of course, you can enjoy good pieces of meat with mastered cooking, but the menu also offers ceviches, patacones, fish and seafood dishes, and even Caribbean cuisine! There is something for everyone.

Self-taught in everything he touches, chef Freddy Espinoza opened what was then a small neighborhood restaurant in 2008 with 25,000 colónes in his pocket. Times have changed, and today it is undoubtedly one of the best restaurants in the country. Native of Puntarenas, he makes us discover local dishes but also Peruvian dishes, mastered wonderfully, in honor of two of his maestros. From Chupe de camarones to real Angus beef, everything is excellent. A great success story and a real favorite for the chef's cuisine!

This is the place where Ticos have been meeting since 2013. Slightly north of the city, this soda is a very good address to enjoy local cuisine. The dishes are copious and the prices more than affordable. We recommend the very good casado and especially the divine ceviche! A good part is made to the fish and sea products, we also find pasta, fajitas, burritos and hamburgers ! Open all day, you also have the option to come for breakfast. Not to be missed.

An exceptional setting for this restaurant, which offers well prepared cuisine. The habitués are locusts in number to admire the sunset, a glass by hand. There are excellent Costa Rican dishes. There are music groups regularly to bring a little more charm to the place. Quality service.

An extraordinary culinary experience in an idyllic setting! This small restaurant is only accessible by 4x4 vehicle, but the journey is worth it. On arrival, you will be treated to a breathtaking sea view and, above all, refined and very tasty dishes. The five-course menu is entirely vegetarian, but it is possible to choose a protein for the main course. Jazmin and her team cook before your eyes with ingredients directly grown on her family's farm, following the farm-to-table principle. An unforgettable moment.

A little further from the center of Uvita, on the 34 road, you have to climb a path that is quite accessible even without a 4x4 to get to the Mirador Don Roger. Entirely open to the outside, the restaurant offers an exceptional panorama on the ocean and on Bahia Ballena. A well-known address for locals to enjoy a cocktail at sunset. The menu offers mainly fish and seafood dishes, and some chicken dishes. Even if the food will not leave us an unforgettable memory, the view is really worth the detour!

Two institutions open doors to you: one next to the café de Paris and the other beside the Green Iguana. In both cases, local cuisine is offered at reasonable prices. Everything is prepared locally with local seasonings. Casados, sandwiches, salads, etc. From sight and review, but very well prepared.
